Wade, Heat try and stave off elimination in BostonBasketball Betting Lines04/27/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Celtics take their second stab at sending the Miami Heat packing when the two clubs meet in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals at TD Garden. With Miami facing elimination on Sunday, Dwyane Wade went off for a franchise playoff record 46 points to lead the Heat to a 101-92 victory over the Celtics. Wade, scored 19 of his points in the fourth quarter, when he sank four of his five three-pointers. He shot 16-of-24 overall and made 9-of-14 free throws in the victory, which extended the series to a fifth game. "I know a lot of people expected us to roll over," Wade said. "That weighed heavily on my mind. I wasn't ready for the summer yet. We have a fight ahead of us, but they have a fight ahead of them as well." Wade's 16 field goals and 30 points in the second half were also Heat playoff records and the superstar has now scored in double-figures in franchise record 62 consecutive playoff games. Despite Wade's performance, the Celtics still hold a commanding 3-1 series lead and the Heat face tremendous odds, as no team in NBA history has ever rallied from an 0-3 deficit to win a seven-game series. Wade got help from Quentin Richardson, who scored 20 points, while Michael Beasley added 15 in Game 4. Rajon Rondo led Boston with 23 points and nine assists, while Kevin Garnett added 18 points and 12 boards. The Celtics had chances to trim their deficit to one possession down the stretch, but shot only 2-of-8 from the line and 5-of-17 overall in the fourth quarter. Notably, Ray Allen and Garnett each missed a pair from the line in the final two minutes as Miami held on. "They had a stretch where they made some baskets. Wade got hot and there was no looking back," Garnett said. Paul Pierce, who won Game 3 with a long jumper at the buzzer, ended with 16 points for Boston. The Celtics have won eight of nine and 14 of 16 against Miami, including this set. This is the first time these two franchises have met in the postseason. Meanwhile, this could be the last game Wade ever plays as a member of the Heat. The superstar has the right to opt-out of his contract and become a free agent on July 1. Game 6 of this best-of-seven series, if necessary, is set for Thursday back in Miami.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change TeamsIt’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column. We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side. Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor. Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season. Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference. The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash. To visit this sportsbook go to MySportsbook.com for all your college football betting needs.
