First meets worst when Bulls visit Bobcats
Basketball Betting Lines
02/10/2012 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Two streaks will be on the line this evening at Time Warner
Cable Arena, as the Chicago Bulls go after their fifth straight win, while the
Charlotte Bobcats attempt to avoid matching the longest losing streak in
franchise history.
The Bulls continued to impress on Wednesday, as Carlos Boozer scored 18
points and in an easy 90-67 win over the New Orleans Hornets. Chicago has now
won three straight by at least 20 points, all, though, coming against teams
with losing records while allowing 90 or fewer.
Derrick Rose, who left Monday's win over New Jersey with lower back spasms,
played only 22 minutes and sat the entire fourth quarter. He had six points,
six assists and five rebounds.
"He says he feels pretty good," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said of the reigning
MVP.
Rose recently missed four games because of a toe injury, including the Bulls'
95-89 win over Charlotte back on January 21. The toe seems fine, but the back
has been a cause for concern the past couple of weeks.
"The back was kind of tight," Rose said. "(Coach Tom Thibodeau) did a great
job of managing my minutes when he saw we had the game put away."
Given the way the Bobcats have played of late, Rose may not be needed much
tonight either.
Charlotte is a miserable 3-22 on the year and enters tonight's contest having
dropped 12 in a row and another loss tonight would equal the franchise's
longest drought - set Jan. 11-Feb. 1, 2006.
The Bobcats' most recent loss came on Tuesday in Boston, as the Celtics
defeated them, 94-84.
Charlotte was led by Reggie Williams' 21 points and got a season-high 20
points from Derrick Brown. Kemba Walker dropped in 16 points in the loss.
"When you have to play your main guys for as long as we do, it gets kind of
tough," Charlotte coach Paul Silas said about the Bobcats' recent struggles.
"We've just got to keep battling."
The Bobcats, who are 2-8 at home, have lost three straight to the Bulls, but
have won four of their last six in their building in this series.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Bet NFL Sports Lines
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
