Redick stays in Orlando

Basketball Betting Lines

07/16/2010 - Orlando, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Magic have matched the Chicago Bulls' offer sheet for J.J. Redick, meaning the shooting guard will remain in Orlando for the foreseeable future.

The Bulls had given Redick, a restricted free agent, a reported three-year, $19 million offer sheet last Friday, and the Magic had seven days to match it.

Redick, selected with the 11th overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft, had his best season in 2009-10. The Duke product averaged 9.6 points and 1.9 assists while shooting 40.5 percent from three-point range and 43.9 percent from the field overall.

The 6-foot-4, 190-pound sharpshooter averaged over 22 minutes in 82 regular season games, nearly five minutes more than his previous personal high.

"J.J. (Redick) is a valuable part of our organization, both on the court and in our community," said Magic general manager Otis Smith. "He has worked extremely hard during his four seasons with us and improved every year. We're happy that J.J. will be back to help us reach our ultimate goal."

Redick, 26, owns career averages of 7.0 points and 1.3 assists over 222 games that have all come with the Magic.

Football Betting: Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.

Bet on NFL Football

Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.

Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.

Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.

Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.

All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.

A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
