Basketball Betting Lines
04/14/2010 -
Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cedric Jackson's three-pointer with
1:31 remaining in the fourth quarter lifted the Washington Wizards to a
98-97 win over Indiana in the season finale for both clubs.
Andray Blatche scored 26 points and grabbed seven rebounds for the Wizards
(26-56), who got 14 points and eight boards from JaVale McGee. Washington
finished up a disastrous and dysfunctional season in which star guard Gilbert
Arenas was suspended after allegedly pulling a gun on teammate Jarvis
Crittenton in the team's locker room.
Roy Hibbert poured in a career-high 29 points to lead the Pacers (32-50),
while Danny Granger added 17 points and nine rebounds.
Washington led by as many as 11 in the first quarter, but the Pacers battled
back to grab a 51-47 lead at halftime. Indiana took a 75-61 lead on a Dahntay
Jones turnaround fade away with just under three minutes to go in the third
quarter.
The Wizards were down 10 early in the fourth, but continued to chip away,
reclaiming the lead on Jackson's shot from beyond the arc. Indiana had one
last chance to win the game, but Granger's jumper in dying seconds was off the
mark.
Game Notes

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
