The 76ers are on good ground to make the post-season, but while they are coming off a win they continue to fall in the standings being 4-6 in their last 10 games.
NBA Basketball Matchup: Bobcats vs Raptors
By record, the Charlotte Bobcats are the worst team in the league. They have just 16 more games this season and the way they are playing they might not break double digits in wins something every other team has already done – even in a short season that is pretty bad.

The Pacers have been one of the surprise teams in the NBA this season and they have a good chance to add to their win total facing a Knicks’ team that will be without 2 of their top 3 scorers.

Although Glen Davis came away with a sold performance in the Magic’s last outing, he is still not three-time reigning defensive player of the year, Dwight Howard.

MLB 2012 Division Odds and Win Totals – AL East
The 2012 MLB season is just days away. Spring Training will be winding down soon, and the games will start to count. We’re taking a division-by-division look at betting odds and team by team season win totals. Let’s take a closer look at the American League East.
2012 AL MVP Odds + Picks
In 2011, Justin Verlander became the first pitcher to win the MVP award in a long time. Verlander earned the pitchers version of the Triple Crown and edged out Jacoby Ellsbury and Jose Bautista. The 2012 Major League Baseball season is about to get started.
2012 NL MVP Odds + Picks
Ryan Braun won his first MVP award last year by beating Matt Kemp and Prince Fielder. The National League saw a couple big stars leave the league in the offseason, so the MVP race is a little more wide open. Albert Pujols was always a favorite to win the award, but he is now in the American League.
2012 Goody’s Fast Relief 500 Predictions – Betting Preview + Picks + Odds
The fifth Sprint Cup point race of the season takes NASCAR all the way back out to the West Coast this Sunday for the Auto Club 400 in Fontana, California. Brad Keselowski and the No.2 Miller Lite car took the checkered flag last Sunday at Bristol for his first win of the year.
So is your bracket busted?
Well, don’t worry, you can still enjoy what’s left of March Madness with a couple of prop bets that you can consider if you’re still looking to get involved with NCAA Final Four betting this year.
These two games will offer up all kinds of bets and wagering opportunities, and one of a few options out there is who will win the 2012 Outstanding Player award.
At the top of the betting odds is Kentucky Wildcats freshman Anthony Davis (2/1) who is proving to be worthy of all the hype, averaging 14.3 points, 10.1 rebounds and leads Division I with 4.6 blocks per game.
Davis however, was injured when he collided with Baylor star Perry Jones III early in the second half of their game on Sunday, but did stay on the court, although holding his left knee and was obviously in pain. Will that carry into Saturday’s game against Louisville?
Of course, if the big center should feel the lingering effect of the injury it could seriously dent the Wildcat’s dream of capturing this year’s national championship. A must in his quest for winning MOP.
But let’s say even without a totally healthy Davis, Kentucky gets past Louisville.
Another player that could grab the honors, is also a Wildcat. Teammate and swingman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (5/1), who has also been playing possessed, scoring 13.5 PPG in four tournament games to go along with 29 total rebounds.
Following up the Wildcats’ duo is the Buckeye’s Jared Sullinger (6/1) and Deshaun Thomas (9/1).
The 6-foot-9, 265-pound Sullinger, who enters Saturday’s game averaging 17.6 points and 9.1 rebounds per outing, seems to be over his back problems and has routinely been putting up double-double performances night after night. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
Thomas, meanwhile, seems to go all but unnoticed, but is quietly averaging just under 21 points through the first four games, including a 31-point, 12-rebound outburst against Loyola (MD) and a 24-point performance against Cincinnati in the Sweet 16.
Rounding out the top five is Kansas star Thomas Robinson (8/1), an All-American forward who had a big game against a very good North Carolina team, along with No. six-teammate Tyshawn Taylor (15/1), who seems to keep having great games throughout this year’s tournament.
Case in point, again the Jayhawks win over North Carolina in the Elite Eight, where Taylor went off for 22 points on 10-for-19 shooting, six rebounds, five assists and five steals.
Both of these players are good options that could pay sizeable payouts.
Prediction: It’s been established that Kentucky is the favorite to win the national title, so a safe wager on Davis or a gamble on Gilchrist should yield a decent return here.
