Report: McGrady out three weeks with knee injury

Basketball Betting Lines

12/02/2008 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Houston Rockets guard Tracy McGrady will reportedly miss three weeks while rehabbing his sore left knee.

Dr. James Andrews said McGrady is suffering from general soreness in the knee, which was surgically repaired last offseason. He had originally been ruled out for a week, but, according to the Houston Chronicle, McGrady said he would be out for three weeks after Tuesday's workout at the Toyota Center.

McGrady has missed the last three games with soreness in his knee but posted averages of 15.6 points and four assists through 15 games played this season.

This is one of many injuries the Rockets have suffered recently, as Brent Barry will rest for the next two weeks after suffering a small tear in his leg muscle. The team also missed Shane Battier for the first 16 games, after he underwent offseason surgery to remove bone spurs.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
