Game Of Memphis Stops

Basketball Betting Lines

The Raptors dropped three of four meetings with Boston last season and has lost 15 of the previous 17 matchups between the Atlantic Division foes. Boston will put its six-game home winning streak in this series on the line tonight.

 

"They are a great defensive team and I just tried to penetrate and make plays for guys," Conley said. "To beat a good team like Chicago, you have to have energy. You have to outwork them. That's what we wanted to do from the beginning of the game, pick up fullcourt, inbounds plays and make a statement that we're going to be in this game for all four quarters."

 

Memphis, however, has played poorly on the road this season. The Grizz, who will play six of their next seven away from Beale Street, are just 1-4 as the visitor on the year and barely averaging 80 points in those contests.

 

Jarrett Jack ended with 21 points for the Hornets, who have lost six in a row at home for the first time since Feb. 22-March 18, 2006.

 

"We just shot ourselves in the foot," Okafor said. "We played good defense and set our turnovers across the board. We just have to do a better job of taking care of the basketball."

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The improved Pacers take their act out west for a three- game road trip starting with tonight's tip-off in Sacramento. Indiana, which will play six of its next seven away from home, won its third straight game on Saturday when Danny Granger scored 21 points as the Pacers beat the Boston Celtics for the second time in nine days, 97-83.

 

"Our defense is probably ahead of what I thought. Our rebounding is where I thought it would be and our offense is behind," coach Frank Vogel said after his latest win.

 

Five Kings players scored in double figures in that one, including 12 points apiece for Marcus Thornton, Jason Thompson and Francisco Garcia, but the team lost its third in a row and fell to 1-5 in the last six contests.

 

The biggest culprit in the Kings' stagnant offense has been former Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans, who has scored just 12 points in the team's previous two games.

 

Indiana has won three of its past four visits to California's capital.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Knicks attempt to avoid dropping their fourth straight game when they entertain the Phoenix Suns tonight in the second portion of a four-game homestand from Madison Square Garden. The Knicks suffered their third loss in a row with Monday's 102-93 setback versus Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Ryan Anderson made seven three-pointers en route to a career-high 30 points for the Magic and Howard ended with just eight points and 10 rebounds. Orlando shot 50.7 percent from the floor and went 17-for-35 from beyond the arc.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
