In overtime, Washington again capitalized on a missed free throw as Young came up with a huge offensive rebound off of a Booker missed free throw. Young then went 1-of-2 from the line to leave the door open for Toronto.

 

Wall and Young got going early as they scored 21 of the team's 29 first- quarter points to give the Wizards a 29-19 advantage.

 

Kleiza and James Johnson hit back-to-back three's around two Wall free throws to get the Raptors within 10, 82-72, going into the final stanza.

 

Washington will host New York on Wednesday in the third game of a four-game home stand, while Sacramento returns home on Wednesday to face the Bucks... Washington's Rashard Lewis did not play with a sore left knee...Toronto shot 50 percent from three-point range.

 

Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Denver Nuggets forward Danilo Gallinari exited Monday's game against the Houston Rockets after suffering a chip fracture in his left ankle. The injury came with 9:38 left in the third. From the left wing, Gallinari drove into the paint and appeared to go for a pull-up jumper, but he rolled his left ankle badly while being fouled by Chandler Parsons on the play. Gallinari stayed in the contest and made both foul shots before exiting.

 

An x-ray revealed the injury and Gallinari will have a CT scan done on his ankle Tuesday.

 

Danilo Gallinari had 14 points to lead Denver before exiting with a left ankle injury. According to the Nuggets' Twitter account, x-rays on his ankle revealed a chip fracture. He will undergo a CT scan on Tuesday.

 

Al Harrington was fouled following an offensive rebound putback with 1:21 to play, but failed to maintain the momentum when he missed both foul shots.

 

Gallinari netted eight first-quarter points as the Nuggets led, 28-26, after one, but the Rockets took a 47-45 lead into the locker room as Scola poured in 16 first-half points.

 

"It's tough to see him go down, he's a tough player," Denver point guard Ty Lawson said.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
