Heat begin key homestand with visit from Clippers
Basketball Betting Lines
03/10/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Heat are fighting for their playoff lives and
hope to gain some ground during a six-game homestand that starts with
tonight's matchup versus the Los Angeles Clippers at AmericanAirlines Arena.
The Heat have won three in a row as the host and will also welcome Chicago,
Philadelphia, San Antonio, Orlando and Charlotte to South Florida. They are
currently tied with Charlotte for seventh in the Eastern Conference standings,
just a half-game ahead of Chicago for the final playoff berth, and sport a
17-14 home record.
Miami, though, is coming off Tuesday's 83-78 loss to the Bobcats in which
Dwyane Wade had 27 points and seven boards in losing fashion. Jermaine O'Neal
added 19 points and five rebounds, while Michael Beasley finished with 11
points and nine boards for the Heat.
"We showed up for the fight," Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said on NBA.com, "but
we did not close the game well at all, certainly not offensively. We had too
many empty possessions and gave them too many shots to take the lead."
The Heat were 20-0 when holding opponents to under 90 points and 17-0 when
keeping opposing teams to less than 40 percent shooting from the field before
last night's loss to the Bobcats.
Los Angeles hasn't scored more than 87 points in its last three games and is
riding a four-game losing streak. It fell to 0-2 on a five-game road trip
after Tuesday's 113-87 setback at Orlando.
Baron Davis led the Clippers with 16 points and nine assists off the bench,
and Drew Gooden posted a double-double with 12 points and 14 rebounds for Los
Angeles, which has dropped seven in a row away from Staples Center. Chris
Kaman scored 12 points and Steve Blake netted 11 with five assists in defeat.
"We didn't make shots and they really shot the ball well," said Clippers head
coach Kim Hughes after his team made 43 percent of its attempts.
The Clippers will also visit Charlotte and San Antonio on this trek and are
7-25 as the guest this season. They have lost 11 of their last 12 road games.
Los Angeles defeated Miami, 94-84, at home back on January 10 behind Kaman's
team-high 22 points and 14 rebounds. The Clippers have won five of the last
seven contests in this series.

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.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State)
