Nets and Raptors clash at The Rock
Basketball Betting Lines
01/29/2012 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Atlantic Division rivals meet in North Jersey Sunday when
the Nets welcome Toronto to The Rock.
New Jersey has been on an uptick recently, winning three of their past four
games. Deron Williams recorded a double-double with 27 points and 10 assists
on Friday in Cleveland as the Nets held off the Cavaliers 99-96 at Quicken
Loans Arena for their latest victory.
Kris Humphries, who left Friday's shootaround with an illness, fought through
it, scoring 18 points and pulling down 11 boards. Anthony Morrow added 22
points and six rebounds.
"The guys played hard and came out with a lot of focus early in the game. I
think we set the tone for this game in the first quarter," said New Jersey
head coach Avery Johnson.
Rookie MarShon Brooks (Achilles) missed his third straight game for the Nets,
while teammate Mehmet Okur (back) also missed the contest. Both players have
been listed as questionable for tonight's affair although it's a long shot
either plays.
Williams has been the barometer for any New Jersey success. When the two-time
All-Star, who is averaging 22.3 points and 9.5 assists over his last six
games, scores 24-plus the Nets are 5-0 and when he scores under that number
the team is a dismal 2-12.
The Raptors, who are finishing a five-game road trip tonight, had a small two-
game run halted in Denver on Friday when the Nuggets ran away for a 96-81
triumph.
Leandro Barbosa paced the Raptors in the Rockies with 19 points, while Jerryd
Bayless had 18 and James Johnson donated 16 points. Aaron Gray had a big night
on the glass, grabbing 11 rebounds for the Raptors, who have lost nine of
their last 11 overall and are 2-2 on their trek.
Toronto played Denver without star power forward Andrea Bargnani, who will
be out indefinitely after aggravating a calf strain in a double-overtime win
over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday.
"You have to believe you can win right from the jump ball," Raptors head coach
Dwane Casey said. "That's the challenge I issued our guys after the game
tonight. I didn't see the belief in their eyes."
New Jersey has taken three of its last four against the Raptors, including a
97-85 win north of the border on Jan. 6.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
