'Melo to sit two games
Basketball Betting Lines
01/27/2012 -
Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony is expected
to miss the next two games in an effort to heal a variety of injuries.
Anthony will sit out Friday's contest at Miami and will also miss Saturday's
contest at Houston because of thumb, wrist and ankle issues. He has tried to
play through the pain recently and has struggled mightily.
The wrist and ankle injuries occurred during a January 12 game against
Memphis. He sat out the January 14 contest against Oklahoma City, but returned
two nights later against Orlando and has played every game since.
Anthony is averaging 23.6 points, 6.9 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 17 games
this season, but has made just 31.7 percent of his shots (40-of-126) after
returning from the one-game absence. He's also hit just 5-of-28 three-point
tries in that time.
On Tuesday, in a victory over Charlotte, Anthony was 0-for-7 from the field
and scored just one point.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
