Boston's Perkins eligible for Game 6 after technical rescinded
Basketball Betting Lines
05/27/2010 -
New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The NBA has rescinded the second technical
foul issued to Boston Celtics center Kendrick Perkins in Game 5 on Wednesday,
meaning he is eligible for Friday's Game 6 at TD Garden versus the Orlando Magic.
Perkins was ejected with 36.1 seconds left in the second quarter on Wednesday
after reacting to a foul call. He screamed in frustration while walking away
from referee Eddie Rush, who still made the technical foul call.
It was Perkins' seventh technical foul of the playoffs at the time, which
triggers an automatic one-game suspension. His total is now reduced to six, so
his next technical foul will cause him to miss a game.
The Celtics lead the best-of-seven series, 3-2, which shifts back to Boston
for Game 6. Orlando has won the last two games and is looking to be the first
NBA team to climb out of an 0-3 series deficit to win a best-of-seven set.
Game 7 would be on Sunday.
In addition to Perkins' ejection on Wednesday, both Glen Davis and Marquis
Daniels suffered a concussion, and it is currently unknown whether either
player will be available for Game 6. According to The Boston Globe, both
players will undergo a neurological exam before the team determines whether or
not they can play.
Paul Pierce's foul on J.J. Redick in the fourth quarter was also upgraded to a
Flagrant 1.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson
JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
