"I mean, defensively that was as good as you can get," said Boston head coach Doc Rivers.

 

Orlando made just 4-of-16 three-pointers and Dwight Howard was the only player to score in double figures with 18 points and 14 rebounds. Former Celtics forward Glen Davis made his return to Boston and recorded six points and 11 rebounds.

 

Boston is unbeaten in the past three matchups against Orlando, but has lost two straight, nine of 11 and 10 of its last 13 games as the visitor in this series.

 

Orlando will play 10 of its next 14 games at Amway Arena, where it is 6-2 this season, and split a recent two-game road trip in Boston and Indiana. The Magic rebounded from a dreadful shooting display in Beantown to hand the Pacers their first home loss with a 102-83 triumph on Tuesday.

 

"That's the beauty of this league," said Anderson. "We have back-to-back games and opportunities where we can redeem ourselves...These are important comeback games. That's the way we can play every night."

 

Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Hawks have waived rookie guard Donald Sloan. The Texas A&M product appeared in five games for the Hawks and averaged 1.2 points with 1.0 rebound in 4.0 minutes per game.

 

Sloan signed with Atlanta on December 9. He averaged 17.8 points as a senior at Texas A&M.

 

The Aussie native is averaging 11.3 points and 8.3 rebounds in just 12 games so far this year. He missed four games earlier this season due to personal reasons, and missed another due to a concussion.

 

For his career, the first overall pick of the 2005 NBA Draft has averaged 12.7 points per game to go along with 9.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists. He has a history of various injuries and has not played a full season since his rookie campaign.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl

NFL Super Bowl Betting

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.

Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.

The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
