Arenas out 2-3 months following surgery
Basketball Betting Lines
04/06/2007 -
Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas
underwent surgery Thursday to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his left knee
and will be sidelined the next 2-to-3 months.
Arenas was hurt in the first quarter of Wednesday's game against Charlotte
when he collided with Bobcats swingman Gerald Wallace. Arenas had surgery
Thursday at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington.
"Gilbert was performing at an elite level," said Wizards president of
basketball operations Ernie Grunfeld in a statement. "It's unfortunate that
this injury occurred, but being the competitor that he is, Gilbert will
approach his rehab regimen with the same work ethic that has made him one of
the league's most outstanding performers. We expect him to make a full
recovery, and we know that his teammates will be up to the challenge to
respond in his absence."
Although Arenas is expected to make a full recovery, his season is over unless
his teammates can make a deep run in the NBA playoffs. Should he be able to
return in two months, the Wizards would likely need to reach at least the
NBA Finals for him to play again this season.
The All-Star guard did not start for the first time this season on Wednesday
after being late to the team's shootaround. When he finally took the floor,
Arenas had been in the game less than two minutes when he got hurt.
Arenas is averaging a team-best 28.4 points and 6.0 assists in 74 games this
season.
This is the second major injury for the Wizards, who lost forward Caron Butler
for six to eight weeks after he sustained a second metacarpal fracture in his
right hand. Butler, the third-leading scorer on the team at 19.1 ppg, suffered
the injury in an April 1 game against Milwaukee.
At 39-35, Washington is on the verge of clinching a playoff spot, but the
Wizards have fallen behind Miami for the lead in the Southeast Division. The
Wizards have lost six of their last eight contests.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams
NFL Betting
It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash. NFL Wagering
