FIBA deals Krstic three-game ban
Basketball Betting Lines
08/26/2010 -
Geneva, Switzerland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - FIBA, the world governing body of
basketball, announced Thursday disciplinary action against four players for
their respective roles in a fight that broke out between Greece and Serbia at
a friendly tournament last week.
Hardest hit was Serb Nenad Krstic, who was levied with a three-game suspension
that will start in conjunction with the opening of the 2010 FIBA World
Championships on Saturday.
The fight originally broke out between Antonis Fotsis of Greece and Milos
Teodosic of Serbia toward the end of the game, which sparked a larger melee
that saw Krstic hurl a chair toward a throng of players.
Teodosic was hit with a two-game suspension, while Fotsis and teammate
Sofoklis Schortsanitis also garnered two-game bans for Greece. In addition,
each of the national basketball federations were penalized 20,000 Swiss
francs.
The 2010 FIBA World Championships get underway in Turkey on Saturday.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Bet NFL Sports Lines
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
