Rockets lose out on Artest but nab ArizaBasketball Betting Lines07/02/2009 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Just moments after losing out to the Lakers for the services of forward Ron Artest, the Rockets have reportedly come to an agreement with Trevor Ariza, who was a key part of Los Angeles' championship run this season. According to the Houston Chronicle, Ariza accepted the Rockets' offer of the mid-level exception, which will probably end up being a yearly salary of just under $6 million. Ariza, who helped oust the Rockets in seven games in last season's thrilling Western Conference semifinal matchup, averaged 8.9 points and 4.3 rebounds for the Lakers last season but increased his scoring average to 11.3 points in 23 contests in the postseason, when LA won the title in five games over Orlando. The 24-year-old Ariza will most likely serve the same role Artest did in his lone season with Houston and brings career averages of 6.9 points and 3.8 rebounds to the Rockets after spending parts of five seasons with the Knicks, Magic and Lakers.

Super Bowl XLIV OddsSuper Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds. Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44. Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season. That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason. Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium. After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10. The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1). To see a complete list of all the team's odds to win Super Bowl XLIV, check below.
