Orlando welcomes Wizards to Magic Kingdom

Basketball Betting Lines

04/07/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Southeast Division-champion Orlando Magic will continue a three-game homestand Wednesday versus the Washington Wizards at Amway Arena.

The Magic clinched their third consecutive Southeast title after the Atlanta Hawks suffered a 109-100 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats on Tuesday. Orlando has also locked up the second seed in the Eastern Conference and opened its current residency with a 107-92 victory versus the Memphis Grizzlies behind 26 points from Vince Carter.

Rashard Lewis and Jameer Nelson each added 18 points for the Magic, who have four in a row at home and 15 of their last 18 games overall to improve to 31-7 in central Florida. J.J. Redick tallied 15 points and Dwight Howard ended with eight and 11 boards in a winning cause.

"It's a nice little thing," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said of Orlando becoming the only team to beat every other team in the league this season. "I think there's something to be said for having gone out on the court and proving that you can do what everybody thinks they can do. We've literally done it. We've beaten everybody in this league. Not easy to do."

Van Gundy's bunch will close out the homestand versus New York on Friday.

The Wizards have won two straight and three of four contests since an awful 16-game losing streak, and will kick off a quick road trip Wednesday against Orlando and Boston. They are 10-28 away from DC in 2009-10.

Washington is coming off Tuesday's 112-94 victory over the Golden State Warriors, as JaVale McGee set new career-highs with 25 points and 15 rebounds off the bench, and Nick Young added a season-high 29 points in a winning effort.

"I feel comfortable coming off the bench," McGee said. "I just feel like you need bench points more than you need starters points. So, it's just easy for me to come off the bench right now."

Shaun Livingston tied a career-high in points with 21, while Andray Blatche also had 21 points in the win.

Washington surprisingly leads the season series with Orlando by a 2-1 count, but the Magic are 12-6 in the past 18 meetings. The Wizards have dropped six of nine and 12 of their last 16 games at Amway Arena.

MySportsbook.com: NFL draft - The NFC South


In part two of MySportsbook.com’s draft preview, we’ll take a look at a division that was extremely disappointing last season: the NFC South.  Many “experts” predicted the Panthers to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, of course they could not even make the playoffs in an extremely weak NFC.  The Saints definitely made up for the disappointing seasons of their NFC South brethren by exploding out of no where en route to the NFC Championship game.  For the avid NFL gambler, it is imperative to pay attention to the NFL draft.  Although free agency gets a ton of publicity, the successful franchises build their teams around the draft.

1. New Orleans Saints
Who would have thought this time last year that the Saints would be the favorites to win the NFC South for the 2007 campaign?  New Orleans is loaded with firepower on the offensive side of the ball but with the exodus of Joe Horn they will most likely look to draft a WR on Day 1.  Despite having the NFL’s 3rd ranked pass defense last season, the Saints will most likely upgrade their CB’s with one of their first two picks. Other possibilities for the Saints will be TE and DT.  Because of where they will be selecting (27th), the Saints could go the “best available player” route which could net a LB.

Key additions: Eric Johnson TE, Troy Evans LB, David Patten WR
Key loses: Joe Horn WR,
Team needs: CB, WR, TE, LB, DT
Possible draftees: Aaron Ross CB Texas, Darrelle Revis CB Pitt, Ted Ginn Jr. WR OSU, Paul Posluszny LB PSU, Chris Houston CB Arkansas, Greg Olsen TE Miami

2. Carolina Panthers
Carolina was one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL last season.  With the signing of David Carr, expect the very first quarterback controversy to come out of Carolina if Jake Delhomme doesn’t rebound quickly from an average 2007 season. With veteran safety Mike Minter getting up there in age, they will look to draft a safety on Day 1 but probably not in the first round.  LB is another need with the loss of Chris Draft to go along with Dan Morgan’s concussion problems.  If TE Greg Olsen is still on the board, he might be too good to pass up despite their needs on the defensive side of the ball.

Key additions: David Carr QB
Key loses: Chris Draft LB
Team needs: LB, TE, S, OT
Possible draftees: Greg Olsen TE Miami, Patrick Willis LB Ole Miss, Paul Posluszny LB PSU, Levi Brown OT PSU

3. Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons were another NFC South team to have a disappointing 2007 season.  The Falcons have been plenty busy during the off season with plenty of players coming and going including a new head coach.  The Falcons were able to improve their draft position with the trade of coveted backup QB Matt Schaub.  High on the list of Day 1 needs will be a defensive end to replace Patrick Kerney and a hard hitting safety since Lawyer Milloy is nearing the end of his career.  With an additional 2nd round pick, the Falcons could attempt to trade up to acquire local product WR Calvin Johnson. 

Key additions: Joey Harrington QB, Toniu Fonoti OG, Joe Horn WR
Key loses: Justin Griffen RB, Patrick Kerney DE, Matt Lehr OG, Ashley Lelie WR, Matt Schaub QB
Team needs: DE, S, OT, WR, DT
Possible draftees: LaRon Landry S LSU, Amobi Okoye DT Louisville, Levi Brown OT PSU, Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas, Alan Branch DT Michigan

4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Age really caught up to the Bucs last season.  The Bucs still have plenty of household names on defense in Ronde Barber, Simeon Rice and Derrick Brooks but the one thing those three have in common is unfortunately age.  It is imperative for the Bucs to get much younger, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Despite having bigger needs on the defensive side of the ball, WR Calvin Johnson is the most likely pick if he is still available when the Bucs pick at the four spot.  This would suit Bucs’ faithful just fine as Johnson is widely considered the top talent in the draft and it is a position of need for the Bucs.

Key additions: Jeff Garcia QB, Kevin Carter DE, Torrie Cox CB, Cato June LB
Key loses: Dewayne White DE, Sean Mahan OG
Team needs: WR, LB, DE, CB (Youth on defense!)
Possible draftees: Calvin Johnson WR Georgia Tech, Gains Adams DE Clemson, Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas
