Dikgacoi faces six weeks out with ankle injury

Soccer Betting Lines

02/08/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Fulham boss Roy Hodgson has revealed that midfielder Kagisho Dikgacoi will be absent for six weeks with ankle ligament damage.

The South Africa international limped out of Saturday's draw with Bolton and scans have confirmed a ligament problem.

Andrew Johnson, Paul Konchesky, Clint Dempsey and John Pantsil are also still sidelined, but midfielder Simon Davies and striker Bobby Zamora could return for Tuesday night's visit of Burnley to Craven Cottage.

"Bobby is fine and has recovered from his sickness and will be back in contention, as is Simon Davies," confirmed Hodgson.

"The game at Bolton was once again an expensive game for us because we got a point but have lost another player as Dikgacoi will be out for five to six weeks."

Dikgacoi has made 10 appearances for the Cottagers this season.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
