Hawks, Thunder collide at Ford Center

Basketball Betting Lines

02/02/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Two of the NBA's best young teams square off in Oklahoma City Tuesday as the Thunder play host to the Atlanta Hawks.

The Thunder improved to 2-1 on a four-game homestand Sunday when All-Star Kevin Durant made 16-of-21 shots from the field on his way to a season-high 45 points while pulling down 11 rebounds, as Oklahoma City held off the Golden State Warriors, 112-104, at the Ford Center.

The dynamic Durant has now scored at least 25 points in 21 straight games for the Thunder.

Russell Westbrook added 28 points, eight assists, and five rebounds for Oklahoma City, which got 14 points and seven rebounds apiece from Jeff Green and Thabo Sefolosha.

"We made plays. Russell did a great job of getting everyone into the sets and finding us good shots. They're a tough team," Durant said.

The Hawks, meanwhile, opened a brief two-game road trip by falling flat against Southeast Division-rival Orlando on Saturday. Dwight Howard made 10- of-16 shots from the field on his way to 31 points while pulling down 19 rebounds in that one, as the Magic used a strong second half to defeat Atlanta, 104-86.

All-Star Joe Johnson ended with 19 points, seven assists, and six rebounds for the Hawks, who had won four of five coming into Saturday. Jamal Crawford finished with 19 points off the bench. Josh Smith and Mike Bibby added 16 and 10 points, respectively, in defeat.

"We just wanted to come out and try to be aggressive but we really didn't shoot any free throws tonight," Johnson said. "We did not put any pressure on their defense and pretty much let them do whatever they wanted. We didn't have it."

The Thunder snapped a three-game skid to Atlanta with a 94-91 win in Dixie on Jan. 18 and will be aiming for their first home-and-home season sweep of the Hawks since the 2006-07 season when the franchise was based in Seattle.

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.
