Orlando welcomes Wizards to Magic Kingdom
Basketball Betting Lines
04/07/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Southeast Division-champion Orlando Magic will continue
a three-game homestand Wednesday versus the Washington Wizards at Amway Arena.
The Magic clinched their third consecutive Southeast title after the Atlanta Hawks suffered a 109-100 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats on Tuesday. Orlando has
also locked up the second seed in the Eastern Conference and opened its
current residency with a 107-92 victory versus the Memphis Grizzlies behind 26
points from Vince Carter.
Rashard Lewis and Jameer Nelson each added 18 points for the Magic, who have
four in a row at home and 15 of their last 18 games overall to improve to 31-7
in central Florida. J.J. Redick tallied 15 points and Dwight Howard ended with
eight and 11 boards in a winning cause.
"It's a nice little thing," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said of Orlando
becoming the only team to beat every other team in the league this season. "I
think there's something to be said for having gone out on the court and
proving that you can do what everybody thinks they can do. We've literally
done it. We've beaten everybody in this league. Not easy to do."
Van Gundy's bunch will close out the homestand versus New York on Friday.
The Wizards have won two straight and three of four contests since an awful
16-game losing streak, and will kick off a quick road trip Wednesday against
Orlando and Boston. They are 10-28 away from DC in 2009-10.
Washington is coming off Tuesday's 112-94 victory over the Golden State Warriors, as JaVale McGee set new career-highs with 25 points and 15 rebounds
off the bench, and Nick Young added a season-high 29 points in a winning
effort.
"I feel comfortable coming off the bench," McGee said. "I just feel like you
need bench points more than you need starters points. So, it's just easy for
me to come off the bench right now."
Shaun Livingston tied a career-high in points with 21, while Andray Blatche
also had 21 points in the win.
Washington surprisingly leads the season series with Orlando by a 2-1 count,
but the Magic are 12-6 in the past 18 meetings. The Wizards have dropped six
of nine and 12 of their last 16 games at Amway Arena.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
