Wade returns as Heat down Knicks
Basketball Betting Lines
01/27/2012 -
Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dwyane Wade sparkled in his return to the lineup,
scoring 28 points, and the Heat withstood a bevy of three-pointers from New
York to earn a 99-89 victory over the short-handed Knicks.
LeBron James totaled 31 points, eight rebounds and seven assists for the Heat,
who have won three in a row and six of their last seven games.
Wade, who came back following a six-game absence due to a sprained right
ankle, made 11 of his 19 field goal attempts and all six of his foul shots. He
also came up with five steals and even blocked a pair of shots.
With Carmelo Anthony sidelined because of thumb, wrist and ankle issues, the
Knicks tried to beat the Heat with the long distance shot. They were on
target, going 18-of-43 from beyond the arc, but were just 12-of-41 on two-
point attempts.
Bill Walker was the offensive catalyst, going 7-of-10 from long distance for a
21-point night, but the Knicks suffered their eighth loss in nine games. New
York was outscored 42-14 in the paint.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
