Basketball Betting Lines

03/03/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah is expected to be sidelined for the next three weeks due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot, the team announced on Wednesday.

The injury has kept Noah in and out of the regular rotation for the past month. He missed seven straight games, then saw limited action in four games after returning to the lineup. He did not travel with the team for Saturday's game against Indianapolis and sat out Chicago's loss to Atlanta on Monday.

On the season, he is averaging 10.7 points and a team-best 11.4 rebounds over 50 games. He is averaging career highs in points and rebounds.

The Bulls addressed the need in their frontcourt Wednesday by signing Chris Richard, who appeared in five games for Chicago in February before getting released.
