"Birdman" has second surgery of offseason
Basketball Betting Lines
07/14/2010 -
Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Denver Nuggets announced forward-center
Chris Andersen underwent surgery on Wednesday to repair a torn ligament in
his left ring finger.
A release from the team indicated Andersen broke the finger March 13 at
Memphis but played through the injury for the remainder of the regular season
and playoffs.
In May, Andersen had a procedure done to repair a partial tear of the patella
tendon in his right knee. Andersen, who suffered that injury in Game 2 of the
Nuggets' first-round playoff series against Utah, is expected to be fully
recovered from both procedures by the start of next season.
The "Birdman" averaged 5.9 points and a career-high 6.4 rebounds in 76 games
during the 2009-10 campaign. Andersen also ranked sixth in the NBA with 1.88
blocks per game.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
