Rockets retain Lowry
Basketball Betting Lines
07/15/2010 -
Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Rockets have retained the
services of guard Kyle Lowry after matching Cleveland's offer to the
restricted free agent guard.
Houston general Manager Daryl Morey said on his Twitter account
Wednesday afternoon, "we plan to match the agreement and we are excited he
will be returning to the Rockets."
Terms of the contract were not disclosed, but the Cleveland Plain Dealer
reported the offer was for three years with a team option for a fourth
that had the deal's value close to $24 million.
Lowry averaged 9.1 points, 4.5 assists and 3.6 rebounds over 68 games last
season for the Rockets, who wasted little time in matching Cleveland's offer.
The 24-year-old was originally selected by Memphis with the 24th overall pick
in the 2006 draft out of Villanova. He was part of a three-team trade during
the 2008-09 season that landed him in Houston.
In 237 career games between the two teams, including 30 starts, Lowry has
posted averages of 8.7 points, 3.8 assists and 3.0 rebounds while seeing time
in 23.6 minutes per contest.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
