Bobcats' Wallace leaves game with ankle injury

Basketball Betting Lines

03/12/2010 - Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Charlotte Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace left Friday night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers with a sprained left ankle.

With 1.5 seconds remaining in the second quarter, Wallace stole the ball from Clippers guard Baron Davis and went the other way for a layup. Davis was called for a flagrant foul type 1 as he pushed Wallace from behind on the attempted layup. Wallace went flying to the floor and twisted his left ankle in the process.

Wallace stayed on the floor for several minutes before getting up and trying to walk off the injury. He was able to make 1-of-2 from the foul line before heading to the locker room in obvious pain.

X-rays on Wallace's ankle at the half came back negative. However, he was not able to return to action in the second half.

The 6-foot-7, 220-pounder was averaging 18.5 points and 10.5 rebounds coming into Friday's game.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
