2010 NBA Draft Order | Download ESPN NBA Overall Draft Order 2010. 2010 NBA Draft Lottery officially in the books, it’s time now to take a look at where the Houston Rockets stand come draft day this summer. The NBA Draft Lottery will determine the final order to the 2010 NBA Draft, and could provide a bit of excitement for franchises that didn’t make the NBA Playoffs. The New Jersey Nets are certainly hoping that they can win the No. 1 pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, coming with it a possible elite player from this draft class.

With the Washington Wizards shocking the sports world by walking away with the No. 1 pick—and likely stealing away Kentucky star John Wall from the New Jersey Nets and their new owner—it’s time now to take a look at who may be available come pick No. 14, and who the Rockets should nab come draft day.

It’s fairly obvious that Houston will be going after a big man, both in regards to having someone beyond Yao Ming carry the load at center (not to mention the question marks around how long he’ll be sticking around in Rockets red) in addition to adding a needed larger presence in the paint.

Live stream of Strikeforce Heavy Artillery St Louis kicks off with weigh-in results Friday followed Saturday by the Overeem vs Rogers heavyweight championship. Alistair Overeem defeats Brett Rogers via TKO due to strikes at 3:40 of Round 1 to retain the Strikeforce heavyweight title.

Overeem is the natural next opponent for Fedor, even more so than FabricioWerdum. Partially because Emelianenko is treated like the champion even though he isn’t, so it makes sense to give him the chance to make it official. Overeem says after the win that he wants to fight Fedor Emelianenko next, pointing out that Fedor’s management turned down the chance to fight him on this show. Likewise, Overeem, in being the champion, should fight the best in his division, which is clearly Fedor.

Overeem vs Rogers will battle for the StrikeForce heavyweight championship. At 265 lbs. it will be Alistair Overeem vs. Brett Rogers and Andrei Arlovski vs. Antonio Silva; at 185 lbs. catch Ronaldo Souza vs. Joey Villasenor; and at 205 lbs. don’t miss Roger Gracie vs. Kevin Randleman and Antwain Britt vs. Rafael Cavalcante

Avram Grant is capable of anything as his side beat another top club Tottenham in the previous knock-out round game in FA Cup and also because of his experience as ex-Chelsea Boss. He had a quite successful short era at Stamford Bridge where his side went until the last game of the UEFA Champions League.

The opening tipoff for Game 4 between the LA Lakers and Utah Jazz is scheduled for 10:30 PM ET (7:30 PM PT) from Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City, UT, and it will be broadcasted live in high definition on TNT Sports following Game 4 of the Magic vs Jazz.

Utah was just a missed tip-in from taking Game 3, but no team has ever rallied from a 3-0 series deficit in the NBA. The Lakers have won 21 of their last 27 games against the Jazz, including the playoffs. NBA Sports Betting Odds Lines list the total in this Los Angeles Lakers vs Utah Jazz game is set at 207 points.

Utah Jazz are favored to win game four with a -3 point spread at our sportsbook. Even though the Jazz might very well avoid elimination and win this game, I don’t believe it will be easy and the safe bet in my opinion would be to go with the defending champs.
