Celtics' Scalabrine out a month

Basketball Betting Lines

03/03/2009 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Boston Celtics forward Brian Scalabrine is expected to be out until April because of the effects of concussions he suffered in January.

Scalabrine sustained a concussion in a practice on January 27, just two days after he was hit in the head during a game against Dallas. He missed the Celtics' next nine games, and returned to play in three more games before suffering what was termed a strained neck in Boston's February 23 game against Denver.

He hasn't played since, and Tuesday, Celtics head coach Doc Rivers indicated a return date of April 1 for Scalabrine, who will be out about a month.

In 39 games this season -- eight starts -- Scalabrine is averaging 3.5 points.

The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country.
