Jeremy Lin highlights NBA Players of the Week
Basketball Betting Lines
02/13/2012 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New York Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin was further acknowledged for his surprising play on Monday, earning Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors for games completed through February 12.
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook was named the Western Conference Player of the Week.
Lin has been an unexpected revelation for a maligned Knicks team of late. Without the services of All-Stars Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire, the undrafted point guard led New York to a 4-0 record last week, averaging 27.3 points, 8.3 assists and 2.0 steals over that span. He became the first player in NBA history to record at least 20 points and seven assists in each of his first four starts.
The Harvard graduate highlighted his unprecedented rise to prominence with a 38-point performance in a win over the Lakers on Friday.
Westbrook averaged 30.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.5 steals last week, helping the Thunder to a 3-1 mark. He registered a career-high 15 field goals in a loss to the Kings on Thursday.
Other nominees were Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki, Detroit's Greg Monroe, Golden State's Monta Ellis, Miami's LeBron James and Dwyane Wade and Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
