Basketball Betting Lines

07/08/2010 - Oklahoma City, OK (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Oklahoma City Thunder have acquired the draft rights to Cole Aldrich and veteran forward Morris Peterson from the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for the draft rights to forward Craig Brackens and guard/forward Quincy Pondexter.

Aldrich was the 11th overall choice in last month's draft after averaging 11.3 points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.5 blocked shots during his junior season at Kansas. He was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and leaves the Jayhawks as their single season leader in blocks (125) and second all-time with 253 swats.

The 6-foot-11 center never lost a collegiate game at home, going 55-0 at Allen Fieldhouse, and was a member of the 2008 Kansas national championship squad.

Peterson has averaged 10.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 10 NBA seasons with Toronto and New Orleans. He played in 43 games last season, 39 starts, with the Hornets and averaged 7.1 points and 2.7 boards.

The Thunder made Brackins the 21st overall choice in the draft after he posted averages of 16.5 points, 8.5 boards and 2.2 helpers during his junior campaign at Iowa State. The 6-foot-10, 230 pounder started all 95 games he played in during his three years with the Cyclones.

Pondexter, the 26th overall selection, averaged 19.3 points and 7.4 rebounds for Washington in his senior season and finished his career as the Huskies all-time leader in games played, 136, and third in school history with 1,786 points.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.

Bet NFL Sports Lines

Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.

Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.

A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.

Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.

Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.

And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
