11/16/2008 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chris Bosh scored a team-high 27 points and had seven rebounds, and Jermaine O'Neal had 11 points and 18 boards as the Toronto Raptors defeated the Miami Heat, 107-96, at Air Canada Centre.
Will Solomon chipped in with 15 points and a career-high 11 assists, while Andrea Bargnani had 12 points for the Raptors, who snapped a brief two-game losing skid. Toronto has won five straight over Miami.
Dwyane Wade had a game-high 29 points and added eight assists, and rookie Michael Beasley had 13 points and six boards for the Heat, who have lost three of their last five.
With the Heat clinging to a 54-50 lead after one half, Toronto opened the third quarter with a 9-4 run and, after a layup by O'Neal, had a four-point advantage. However, Miami would quickly re-tie the game again and both teams would go back-and-forth, trading the lead for the rest of the period with the Raptors holding a slim 80-78 lead after three.
In the fourth, the hosts extended the lead, going on a 16-1 run to start the quarter and a three by Solomon stretched the lead to 96-81 with 4:52 remaining. But Miami wouldn't go quietly. Led by Wade, who scored six straight as part of a 10-0 run, the Heat cut the deficit to 96-91 with 1:36 left. Anthony Parker then dropped two free throws to put the Raptors up by seven 12 ticks later. A dunk by Bosh followed by a layup from O'Neal gave Toronto a 102-94 lead with 44 seconds to go. The hosts would make their foul shots in the final seconds to clinch the victory.
With the Raptors holding a 29-27 lead after one quarter, the Heat went ahead by one point after a Daequan Cook three-pointer 2:31 into the second. Bosh then made one of two from the free throw line to tie things at 34-34 about a minute later.
Both teams then took turns exchanging the lead for the next several minutes, but six straight points by Wade and a three by Cook, gave the Heat a 54-48 edge in the final seconds of the first half. A Bargnani layup made it a 54-50 game in favor of Miami heading into the intermission.

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
