Heat take chance on G Livingston
Basketball Betting Lines
10/04/2008 -
Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Heat signed former Los Angeles Clippers guard Shaun Livingston on Friday to an undisclosed contract.
Livingston has not played since a gruesome knee injury sidelined him in
February 2007. The 23-year-old underwent successful reconstructive left knee
surgery but did not participate in the 2007-08 season.
The Peoria, Illinois native, who decided against attending college after his
draft stock rose due to a prolific high school career, tore the anterior
cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament and
lateral meniscus when landing awkwardly on a drive to the basket in a game
against Charlotte. The 6-foot-7 combo guard also suffered a patella
dislocation, in addition to a previously diagnosed tibia/femoral dislocation.
Livingston, the fourth overall selection in the 2004 NBA Draft of the
Clippers, averaged 7.4 points and 4.8 assists in 145 games -- 60 starts -- in
three seasons with LA.
The Heat also requested waivers on guard Tre Kelley on Friday.

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.
