Kings hope to snap long road losing streak in MSG vs. Knicks

Basketball Betting Lines

02/09/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wins have been hard to come by lately for the Sacramento Kings, who will try to put the brakes on a six-game losing streak Tuesday night against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

The Kings opened a three-game eastern road trip with a 115-104 loss at Toronto on Sunday, as Kevin Martin had 24 points and Spencer Hawes posted 14 with 11 rebounds. Donte Greene chipped in 13 points, while Tyreke Evans and Andres Nocioni each had 11 for Sacramento, which has lost 11 in a row on the road and fell to 3-22 as the visitor this season.

"We had a bad fourth quarter. We missed some free throws, we couldn't stop (Chris) Bosh," Kings coach Paul Westphal said.

Bosh pounded the Kings for 36 points and 11 boards. Greene is averaging 18.7 ppg in the last three games, while Martin is posting 16.8 ppg in his last 13 outings.

Sacramento has just two wins since December 30 (2-18) and will also visit Detroit on the current road swing.

New York has dropped two in a row and five of its last six games, including Saturday's 113-106 loss to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers at Quicken Loans Arena. James scored 35 of his 47 points in the first half to stymie the Knicks, who got a team-high 26 points from Nate Robinson.

David Lee recorded 20 points and eight rebounds, while Al Harrington netted 16 points off the bench in defeat. Lee eclipsed the 20-point mark for the 27th time this season and seventh time in last nine games.

"My God, he didn't even come close to missing," Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said of James. "Then they banked some in when they were missing. It was an impressive offensive output from their whole team in the first quarter."

The Knicks are 12-15 as the host this season. Robinson, who will attempt to become the first ever three-time Slam Dunk Champion in Dallas on February 13, is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game with a sore groin.

Sacramento beat the Knicks, 111-97, on November 25 at ARCO Arena, as Greene poured in 24 points and had career-highs with five assists and six blocks. The Kings have won two straight, four of five and 10 of the last 14 meetings.

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.

Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend.  Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July.

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.
