Nets waive F MayBasketball Betting Lines09/07/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New Jersey Nets have requested waivers on forward Sean May less than a month after signing him. May had signed with New Jersey on August 9 and suffered a stress fracture in his left foot last week while working out in preparation for training camp and the upcoming season. "This injury has a four-to-eight week rehab period, which would not provide Sean a legitimate chance to make our team," said general manager Billy King. Charlotte made May the 13th overall selection in the 2005 NBA Draft after he had helped guide North Carolina to the NCAA championship that spring. However, his career has been slowed by injuries, as he has not played in more than the 37 games he took part in this past season for Sacramento when he posted 3.3 points and 1.9 rebounds per game. May did not play at all during the 2007-08 campaign after undergoing microfracture surgery on his right knee. During four NBA seasons with the Bobcats and Kings, May has averaged 6.9 points and 4.0 rebounds per game over 119 contests, 25 as a starter.

Big 12 Conference betting odds Work left to do: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State Work left to do: Texas Tech [18-11 (7-7), RPI: 44, SOS: 12] A critical two-point win over OK State leaves the Red Raiders with Baylor and at Iowa State left. Get both and the Red Raiders likely are good to go. Get one and there could be some interesting comparisons with a K-State team that could finish two or three games "ahead" of them in the standings but doesn't have any of the quality wins Texas Tech has. Not a lot in nonconference play (against Arkansas in Little Rock being the best win, by far) to lean on. Oklahoma State [18-9 (5-8), RPI: 50, SOS: 35] Still without a road win, the Cowboys now need to win two on the road just to get to .500 in conference play. It's hard to recall a team (OK, other than Clemson) falling so precipitously from lock status to almost certainly out of the NCAAs at this point. There are wins to be had in the last three, including a very big home game against K-State on Tuesday, but this team is reeling. Can you tell the pressure to win is getting to them with the way the final possession played out at Texas Tech? There are some good nonconference performances to lean on, specifically beating Missouri State and Syracuse on neutral floors and Pitt in OK City, but if the Pokes don't right this very, very soon, that won't be enough. Kansas State [20-9 (9-5), RPI: 56, SOS: 96] It pays to be in the Big 12 North. The nine league wins are Colorado (twice), Missouri (twice), Iowa State (twice), Baylor, Nebraska and (a good one against) Texas. That helps explain the middling computer profile. The win over USC is nice, but the nonconference leaves a lot to be desired. The game at OK State in Stillwater on Tuesday is huge, as it could KO the Cowboys and leave K-State with a home date against Oklahoma with which to work.
