Basketball Betting Lines

11/22/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Milwaukee Bucks embark on a four-game road trip Saturday when they meet the Charlotte Bobcats at Time Warner Cable Arena.

Charlie Villanueva, who had missed the previous four games with a strained left hamstring, scored 20 points and grabbed six rebounds Friday to lead the Bucks in a 104-87 victory over the short-handed New York Knicks.

The Knicks were without a number of players after making a couple of big trades on Friday, including a deal that sent guard Jamal Crawford to the Golden State Warriors for forward Al Harrington. Later, the Knicks swapped forward Zach Randolph and guard Mardy Collins to the Los Angeles Clippers for guard Cuttino Mobley and forward Tim Thomas.

Andrew Bogut scored 14 points and hauled in 17 boards for the Bucks, who snapped a three-game skid. Ramon Sessions had 15 points and 10 helpers, while Richard Jefferson ended with 11 points for Milwaukee.

The Bucks will also visit Orlando, Atlanta and Detroit on the trek.

Milwaukee, which owns a 3-5 mark on the road, is still playing without star guard Michael Redd (ankle), who is listed as questionable for tonight's game.

The Bobcats dropped their third straight game Friday when Joe Johnson scored 30 points and doled out eight assists to lead the Hawks in an 88-83 victory over Charlotte in Atlanta.

Rookie D.J. Augustin had 26 points and seven assists for the Bobcats, who have lost five of six overall. Gerald Wallace had 17 points and 10 boards, while Emeka Okafor grabbed 11 rebounds.

Bobcats swingman Jason Richardson is still out after undergoing right knee surgery and is expected to miss Saturday's game.

The Bucks have won two straight games over Charlotte after losing their previous three meetings with the Bobcats.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
