Hornets' Paul to have knee surgery
Basketball Betting Lines
02/03/2010 -
New Orleans, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul
will have surgery on his left knee Thursday to repair a meniscal tear, the
team announced Wednesday.
The arthroscopic surgery will be performed in Pensacola, Florida by Dr. James
Andrews. A timetable for Paul's return will be determined following the
surgery.
"Obviously you never want to be in this position to replace a guard like Chris
Paul in the middle of the season," said New Orleans general manager and head
coach Jeff Bower. "We want to continue to take advantage of the talent and
skills that Darren (Collison) and Marcus (Thornton) have shown over the course
of this season."
Paul apparently initially twisted his knee during last Wednesday's game
against Golden State, then hurt it further on Friday against Chicago while
trying to save a ball from going out of bounds. He sat out Saturday's contest
against Memphis.
Recently selected for his third All-Star Game, Paul is averaging a team-best
20.4 points and a league-high 11.2 assists per game this season. He also
missed eight games earlier this season with an ankle injury.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
