Allen helps Celtics take down BlazersBasketball Betting Lines02/20/2010 - Portland, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ray Allen finished with 21 points as the Boston Celtics took an impressive road win for the second straight day, a 96- 76 final over the Portland Trail Blazers. Coming off a one-point win Thursday against the Lakers in Los Angeles, the Celtics crushed the Blazers to improve to 3-1 on their five-game road trip that ends Sunday against Denver. Kevin Garnett added 16 points and seven rebounds, while Rajon Rondo ended with 10 points and 11 assists for Boston, which shot better than 53 percent. Andre Miller had 16 points to pace Portland, which had won its last two games. LaMarcus Aldridge had 15 points and nine boards, while Jerryd Bayless scored 14 points off the bench. Brandon Roy finished with only nine points in more than 34 minutes. Boston started the game with a very strong first quarter, shooting 16-of-22 on its way to a 32-25 lead after 12 minutes. The Celtics then used defense to expand their lead in the second frame. The Blazers made only three field goals in the second quarter, one of which was a dunk from Aldridge that had Portland within 50-38 with 2:05 left. But Boston ended the half with six consecutive points to take an 18-point margin at the break. The Celtics continued to lead by double-digits in the third, though Portland had its deficit down to a dozen a few times in the quarter, including when a Bayless layup got the Blazers within 73-61 moving to the fourth. A Rudy Fernandez three-point play to begin the final frame got Portland within single digits, but Boston responded with an 11-0 run to pull away again. Allen began the burst with a pair of threes and a jumper, and Glen Davis closed it with a three-point play. That provided an 84-64 lead, and the Celtics cruised over the final 7 1/2 minutes. Game Notes The Celtics shot better from the floor than they did from the foul line (12- of-23, 52.2 percent)...Davis had 10 points for Boston, which improved to 20-9 away from home this season...Portland fell to 19-12 at home...Marcus Camby, who the Blazers acquired from the Clippers on Tuesday, made his Portland debut and had two points, seven rebounds and three blocks.

Football Betting: Defensive Rookie of the Year AwardsOddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite. Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award. Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1. Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award. Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1. All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY. A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
