Bynum's knee still hurts, but swelling less

05/18/2010 -

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) -Lakers center Andrew Bynum says the swelling in his injured right knee has decreased.

Yet the Lakers still had concern Tuesday about the 7-footer's knee after his third straight quiet playoff game.

Bynum had four points and four rebounds in 19 minutes during Los Angeles' 128-107 victory over the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference finals opener Monday night.

Bynum says his knee feels fine now, but he has just 10 total points and three blocked shots in the Lakers' last three games. He scored 17 points and blocked four shots in Game 2 of Los Angeles' second-round series against Utah.

The Lakers discovered a small tear in Bynum's meniscus during the first round. Bynum said last week the injury was getting worse.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
