Basketball Betting Lines
08/12/2008 -
Avellino, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Los Angeles Clippers guard Dan Dickau has
signed with Euroleague team Avellino, the club announced Tuesday.
Dickau, 29, averaged 5.3 points and 2.6 assists in 67 games with the Clippers
last season, his sixth in the NBA. In 300 career games with Atlanta, Portland,
Dallas, New Orleans and Boston, he has posted averages of 5.8 points and 2.5
assists.
His best season came in 2004-05 with New Orleans, when he played in 67 games
-- 46 starts -- and averaged 13.2 points with 5.2 assists and 2.7 rebounds per
game.
Avellino president Vincenzo Ercolino said in a report on the Euroleague
website that Dickau would be the club's starting point guard.
"Our aim was to find a player that could make a difference and dictate the
tempo of our team," Ercolino said. "In the end we managed to bring Dan Dickau
to Avellino. He is a serious professional with NBA experience. We have nothing
to envy of any other playmaker that arrived in Italy this year."

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."
