Heat bring back F James JonesBasketball Betting Lines07/19/2010 - Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Heat made it official on Monday by re- signing forward James Jones. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but The Miami Herald previously reported that Jones' deal was for the veteran minimum and that the forward spurned larger offers, including a reported $6 million deal with the Spurs, for a chance to return to the new-look Heat. "We are happy to bring back James Jones, whose abilities on and off the court epitomize what the Heat organization stands for, said Heat President Pat Riley. "He is a consummate professional and a proven three-point threat that will help stretch the floor. As our roster fills out, his ability to shoot the ball will be a valuable asset to our team." Miami requested waivers on the seven-year veteran in June, buying out the final three years of his previous contract to make him a free agent. Jones provides another outside shooting threat on a roster being stacked with veterans and rookies alongside LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade. Over his last two years in Miami, Jones appeared in 76 games, making seven starts and posted averages of 4.1 points and 1.4 rebounds in 14.9 minutes of action. He shot 36.6 percent from the floor and 37.6 percent from beyond the arc. Over 366 games, including 65 starts, Jones has averaged 6.4 points and 2.4 rebounds while shooting 39.5 percent from three-point range. He has also logged stints with Indiana, Phoenix and Portland.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season. In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
