Basketball Betting Lines
01/18/2007 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Detroit native and NBA veteran forward Chris Webber made
his debut in a Pistons uniform on Wednesday night in a loss to the Utah Jazz.
Webber received three standing ovations, including one when he entered the
game in the second quarter, and finished with a modest two points on 1-of-5
shooting with three assists and five rebounds in 17:02. Webber was
seeing his first action since December 27 and had his contract bought out
by Philadelphia last week.
The former University of Michigan standout was forced to cram head coach Flip
Saunders' offensive strategy into his head during a Wednesday morning
shootaround, just hours before tip-off with Utah. Webber is wearing No. 84
because the No. 4 he donned as a Sixer is retired by Hall of Famer and
Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars. Webber noted his
nephew dreamed of him wearing No. 84.
Webber, a five-time All-Star, felt comfortable with his new teammates and
anticipates a special run towards the playoffs. Detroit is currently 1 1/2
games off the lead in the Central Division.
Meanwhile, the Pistons were graced with the presence of point guard Chauncey
Billups on Wednesday versus the Jazz. Billups had missed the previous eight
games with a calf injury and posted 26 points and seven assists in 35 minutes
of action. Detroit was 3-5 without the All-Star guard in the lineup.
Detroit, which has lost eight of its last 11 games, will hit the road to
Minnesota on Friday before hosting Webber's former team, the Sacramento Kings,
on Saturday. Webber is expected to play more against the Timberwolves.
The Pistons are 11-8 as the visitor this season and 10-8 at The Palace of
Auburn Hills.
On a technical note, Pistons forward Rasheed Wallace leads the NBA with 12
technical fouls, while teammate Richard Hamilton has eight, including seven
over the past 11 games. When a player reaches 16 technical fouls in a season a
one-game suspension is assessed.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
