Basketball Betting Lines
07/15/2010 -
Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Denver Nuggets brought back guard Anthony
Carter on Thursday and also added free agent forward/center Shelden Williams.
The 35-year-old Carter posted 3.3 points and 3.0 assists per contest in 54
games for the Nuggets last season, his fourth with the club.
Over 566 games with four teams in an 11-year NBA career, the Hawaii product
has recorded 5.0 points, 4.0 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game.
Williams played sparingly for Boston last season, his fourth club since being
taken by Atlanta with the fifth overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft. Averaging
just over 11 minutes per game for the Celtics, the 26-year-old amassed 3.7
points and 2.7 rebounds over 54 contests.
"We're excited to add two veteran players with playoff experience," Nuggets
vice president of basketball operations Mark Warkentien said. "They are two
more pieces to the puzzle as we work to improve our team this summer."

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
