Basketball Betting Lines

04/29/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Sacramento Kings point guard Tyreke Evans was named the NBA's Rookie of the Year on Thursday.

Selected with the fourth overall pick out of Memphis as a freshman, the 20- year-old Evans averaged 20.1 points, 5.8 assists and 5.3 rebounds in starting each of the 72 games in which he appeared.

"Congratulations to Tyreke," said Kings coach Paul Westphal. "It's something we felt right from the start he was capable of. He deserved it. He has this ability to inspire confidence. He's the most consistent rookie I've ever seen."

Evans became only the fourth first-year player to average over 20 points, five rebounds and five assists, joining a star-studded list comprised of Cavs superstar LeBron James and NBA Hall of Famers Michael Jordan and Oscar Robertson.

Evans shot 45.8 percent from the floor and added 1.5 steals per contest in averaging 37.2 minutes for a rebuilding Kings squad that ended the year 25-57 -- second from the bottom in the Western Conference.

The 6-foot-6 guard was the consensus National Freshman of the Year and a finalist for both the Wooden Award and the Oscar Robertson Trophy as a collegiate freshman. He led the Tigers in scoring with 17.1 points per game and set a school record for freshmen with 77 steals.

Evans finished with 67 of a possible 123 first-place votes and ended with 491 overall tallies.

Golden State's Stephen Curry finished second with 43 first-place votes and 391 total votes. The Davidson product averaged 17.5 points, 5.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds in 80 games.

Milwaukee's Brandon Jennings finished third, picking up 12 first-place votes and 204 overall. He finished the 2009-10 campaign averaging 15.5 points, 5.7 assists and 3.4 rebounds in all 82 games.

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.
