Hornets make a stop in Sacramento
Basketball Betting Lines
02/23/2009 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New Orleans Hornets hope to salvage the finale of a
three-game road trip tonight when they face off with the woeful Sacramento Kings at ARCO Arena.
The Hornets fell to 0-2 on their trek in Salt Lake City on Saturday when
Mehmet Okur scored 25 points and the Utah Jazz won their first game since the
death of team owner Larry H. Miller with a 102-88 triumph over New Orleans.
Miller died last Friday, succumbing to complications from type 2 diabetes at
the age of 64.
Chris Paul netted 24 points and seven assists for the Hornets, who fell to
.500 on the road this season at 13-13. David West chipped in 18 points and 10
rebounds, while Rasual Butler scored 21 in defeat. The Hornets lost one night
after faltering in overtime to the Lakers in Los Angeles.
New Orleans expects a boost from the return of Tyson Chandler tonight. It
looked as if the veteran center's days with the Hornets came to an end last
week when he was traded him to Oklahoma City. However, Chandler, who has been
sidelined since January 19 with a sprained right ankle, failed his physical
with the Thunder, killing the deal.
The Kings, who are opening up a three-game homestand tonight, lost for the
seventh time in eight games Saturday in Dallas when James Singleton had a
season-high 19 points and 12 rebounds off the bench, as the Mavericks used a
70-point first half to cruise past Sacramento, 116-95.
Beno Udrih had 18 points and seven assists for the Kings while Andres Nocioni
made his debut for Sacramento after being acquired from Chicago last week.
Nocioni finished with 10 points and seven rebounds, while Will Solomon, who
the Kings acquired from Toronto, added seven points.
A number of other players Sacramento acquired via trade before Thursday's
deadline, including Ike Diogu, Rashad McCants and Drew Gooden, did not play
Saturday.
Francisco Garcia and Spencer Hawes each scored 17 points for the Kings, who
defeated Memphis on Friday for their only win since February 1.
Gooden, who came over from Chicago with Nocioni in the deal that sent Brad
Miller and John Salmons to the Bulls, may make his debut for Sacramento
tonight. The veteran big man has been on the shelf with a groin injury.
Sacramento, which is 8-18 at ARCO Arena, will finish its residency with bouts
against Charlotte and the Los Angeles Clippers.
The two teams have split a pair of meetings in New Orleans this season but the
Hornets have dropped two straight and 13 of their last 14 trips to Sacramento.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
