03/13/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Denver Nuggets continue their push to the postseason without head coach George Karl tonight against a desperate Memphis Grizzlies team.
The Nuggets played without Karl, who is undergoing radiation and chemotherapy to combat throat and neck cancer, for the second straight game last night, a 102-95 win in New Orleans.
Karl will also miss the remaining two games of the team's current road trip as he continues his treatment. The Nuggets said Karl is still adjusting to the feeding tube that was inserted into his stomach during a surgical procedure on Monday.
"I have tremendous trust in [interim coach Adrian Dantley] and my staff," Karl said on Friday. "I think they'll keep the team in a good place over the next few days, and hopefully I'll be ready to rejoin them when they come home next week."
The Nuggets' next home game is Tuesday, March 16 against Washington.
Denver has won five in row but sits just two game ahead of Utah in the Northwest Division and one-half game behind Dallas for the No. 2 spot in the Western Conference.
Carmelo Anthony put up 32 points to go with 12 rebounds last night, as the Nuggets pulled away late for a 102-95 win over New Orleans.
Chauncey Billups added 21 points while Nene had 17 points and 12 rebounds. Johan Petro, replacing the injured Kenyon Martin in the lineup, chipped in 10 and 10 to help the visitors win a game that featured 19 lead changes and 21 ties.
"We did come through in the second half, did what we had to do," said Dantley. "But we can play better basketball, we have to play better basketball."
The Grizzlies, meanwhile, remained four games behind Portland for the eighth and final playoff spot in the West after a 119-112 home win over New York last night. Ex-Knick Zach Randolph had 24 points and 11 rebounds in that one.
O.J. Mayo had 22 points and Rudy Gay provided 20 for Memphis, which led by as many as 29 before the Knicks got within single digits in the final minutes. But the Grizzlies held on to get their second straight win at home following an eight-game losing streak at FedExForum.
Mike Conley added 18 points, six assists and five boards for Memphis, which has won three in a row overall.
"We'll take an ugly win over a good loss any day, or a bad loss any day," Mayo said. "Some people, 'Oh, we played LA close.' Some people get excited about that. Ugly win [will] beat that any time."
The Grizzlies snapped an eight-game series skid to Denver with a 102-96 win in Memphis back in December.

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
