Basketball Betting Lines

02/26/2010 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kevin Martin finished with 33 points, Aaron Brooks had 31 and Luis Scola ended with a career-high 30, as the Houston Rockets made team history in a 109-104 victory over the San Antonio Spurs.

It is the first time that three Rockets players had at least 30 points in a single contest, as the trio combined to go 30-of-64 from the field and 32- of-32 from the foul line.

Martin's point total is the highest he has recorded since the Rockets acquired him from Sacramento last week, while Scola had 13 rebounds for Houston, which snapped a three-game slide. The Rockets also broke a four-game slide at home.

George Hill had 26 points to pace the Spurs, who have dropped three of four. Tim Duncan added 17 points and eight rebounds, but the other three San Antonio starters finished with zero points, going 0-for-8 from the floor.

The Spurs, playing without Tony Parker because of food poisoning, got 15 points from Richard Jefferson. Manu Ginobili hauled in a season-high 10 boards but shot only 1-for-8 and had eight points.

The Rockets led by double digits for much of the game and were ahead 105-92 after a Brooks jumper with 3:13 left, but the Spurs scored the next 10 points to make it a one-possession game.

Jefferson had a pair of layups to begin the run, which Hill closed with a three with 8.6 seconds to play. It got San Antonio within 105-102, but Brooks made 4-of-4 from the line in the remaining time to secure the victory.

Houston already held a seven-point lead nearly midway through the first when it ran off eight consecutive points. Martin closed the burst with two free throws for a 25-10 advantage, and the Rockets took a 31-14 lead into the second quarter.

Houston's lead stood at 59-41 at halftime, and the Rockets were ahead by as many as 23 in the third before taking an 85-69 advantage to the fourth.

The Spurs opened the final quarter with a seven-point run, cutting the deficit to 85-76 on Hill's three-pointer, but Houston responded with a Shane Battier free throw and two buckets from Martin to restore a double-digit edge, which the Rockets held down the stretch.

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.
