Graham, O'Neal lead Raptors past Timberwolves

Basketball Betting Lines

02/10/2009 - Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Joey Graham posted 24 points and Jermaine O'Neal added 22 points and eight rebounds, as the Toronto Raptors snapped a six-game losing streak with a 110-102 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Both teams were without their marquee players, as Toronto's Chris Bosh missed his third straight game with a sprained right knee, and Minnesota played its first of many games without forward/center Al Jefferson, who tore the ACL in his right knee in Sunday's game against New Orleans and will miss the remainder of the season.

Andrea Bargnani and Jason Kapono deposited 18 points apiece, while Jamario Moon and Jose Calderon each scored 11 in the Raptors' ninth straight win over Minnesota.

Randy Foye logged a game-high 33 points to lead the T-Wolves, while Kevin Love compiled 15 points and 11 rebounds in the club's seventh loss in eight games.

Kapono's four-point play to open the fourth quarter got the Raptors offense flowing, as a 12-2 run midway through the frame had the visitors ahead 98-91.

The margin was six points in favor of Toronto after two free throws with 1 1/2 minutes left by Foye, who missed a layup in transition on the ensuing possession that could have cut the deficit even further.

O'Neal got in the lane at the other end and put in a basket, and Calderon's four free throws in the final 30 seconds polished off the Raptors victory.

Toronto jumped out to a 23-16 lead after the first, though Minnesota climbed back to lead 48-41 at the break.

The teams played virtually even in the third, which ended with the T-Wolves up 80-73.

Game Notes

Bosh was ruled out of the All-Star game this weekend and was replaced on the roster by Cleveland guard Mo Williams on Tuesday...Timberwolves guard Rashad McCants missed the game because of illness...Calderon had nine assists, while Moon pulled down a team-high nine boards...Ryan Gomes scored 17 points for the Wolves, who got 12 apiece from Rodney Carney and Mike Miller.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
