02/21/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Heat welcome head coach Pat Riley back to the bench tonight when they travel to Houston to battle the Rockets at the Toyota Center.
Riley announced before the Heat's 104-85 win over Portland last Tuesday he would return after the All-Star break. Assistant Ron Rothstein took over in Riley's place and compiled a 13-9 mark. Miami is 13-17 under Riley this year.
Riley stepped aside from his duties on January 3rd because of health related issues. He was suffering from knee and hip conditions, both of which required surgery.
Dwyane Wade poured in 25 points in the win over Portland despite suffering a bruised left shoulder. He suffered the injury when colliding with the Trail Blazers' Joel Przybilla before landing on top of him.
He left the game, but did return and had 16 points in the final period. He is not expected to miss anytime with the ailment, and even netted 10 points with six steals in the East's 153-132 setback over the weekend.
Teammate Shaquille O'Neal added 10 points and six boards for the East on Sunday.
In other All-Star game festivities, Miami's Jason Kapono captured the Three- Point Shootout, while Wade repeated as the Skills Challenge champion.
The Heat have won seven of their last eight games to get back to .500 (26-26) and are 4 1/2 games back of Washington for the lead in the Southeast Division. The club currently is tied for seventh overall in the conference with Orlando and is 11-16 on the road this year.
Miami will play in Dallas on Thursday.
Houston is concluding a four-game homestand tonight. The Rockets fell to 2-1 on the stand after an 80-77 setback against Dallas last Thursday.
Tracy McGrady scored 27 points and pulled down 10 rebounds for the Rockets, are 19-7 as the host this year. Juwan Howard scored 14 points for Houston, and Shane Battier added 11 points.
McGrady represented Houston in Las Vegas over the weekend and had eight points and 11 assists in the West's win.
Houston center Yao Ming was voted into the game, but didn't play and is still expected to miss another 2-3 weeks because of a fracture bone under his right knee.
The Rockets are currently fifth overall in the west and are 10 1/2 games off the pace in the Southwest Division.
Houston captured the first meeting between the two teams this year to snap a two-game overall losing streak in the series. The Rockets, though, have dropped four of their last six at home against Miami.

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
