Hornets beat Knicks; no last-minute luck for Lin

Basketball Betting Lines

02/17/2012 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Trevor Ariza scored 25 points, Marco Belinelli had 17 and the New Orleans Hornets beat Jeremy Lin and the Knicks on Friday night, 89-85, to snap New York's seven-game winning streak.

There wasn't any late-game magic in the cards for Lin and the Knicks, just 26 more points from the unexpected star, who stepped his play up in the second half after turning the ball over eight times in the first half.

But Lin, who led the Knicks on their longest winning streak since last season, missed a potential game-tying three-pointer in the final minutes and saw two tough drives end without baskets after that.

Amare Stoudemire also had 26 points with 12 rebounds, but the Knicks had a six-game winning streak against the Hornets snapped. Lin ended with five assists and nine turnovers.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
