Report: Sixers deal Dalembert to Kings for Hawes, NocioniBasketball Betting Lines06/17/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia 76ers have reportedly traded center Samuel Dalembert to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for center Spencer Hawes and forward-guard Andres Nocioni. The Philadelphia Daily News has confirmed the swap, although, it has not been officially approved by the league. Dalembert is reportedly due $14 million next season in the final year of a six-year contract. The Seton Hall product was taken 26th overall in the 2001 draft and has spent each of his eight seasons in Philadelphia. The 6-foot-11 native of Haiti averaged 8.1 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 82 games last season. The 29-year-old has started 491 of his 582 career games and holds down averages of 8.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.9 blocks. Noted particularly for his shot blocking ability, Dalembert has finished among the top 10 in that category in each of his years in the league. He swatted a career-best 192 offerings in 2007-08. Hawes was the 10th overall selection in the 2007 draft. The 7-foot-1 University of Washington product averaged 10.0 points, 6.1 boards and 1.2 blocks over 72 games (59 starts) in 2009-10. The 22-year-old is still playing under his rookie contract. In 220 career games, including 59 starts, Hawes has averages of 8.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 blocks. Nocioni is a six-year NBA veteran and averaged 11.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists last year in 75 games. He knocked down 96 three-pointers, hitting at a 38.6-percent clip from long range. The native Argentine reportedly still has three years and $21 million remaining on his current contract. The 30-year-old was spent his first four years in the league with the Bulls before being dealt to Sacramento as part of a multi-player deal that landed Brad Miller in Chicago. Over 449 career games, 185 of those starts, Nocioni is averaging 11.3 points, 4.7 boards and 1.3 assists while shooting 37.5 percent from three-point range.

2007 NFL Football Betting Preview“You play to win the game!” Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy. The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line. The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2. Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway? Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year. Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years. Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant. Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success. The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones. Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings. Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record. This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots. First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!” The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason. Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
