Clippers host Kings in LA

Basketball Betting Lines

02/20/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Two teams at the bottom of the barrel in the Western Conference collide tonight in Hollywood, as the Los Angeles Clippers try to stop a six-game slide versus the Sacramento Kings at Staples Center.

The Clippers, who sent guard Sebastian Telfair to Cleveland and forward Al Thornton to Washington in a three-team deal before the trade deadline, suffered a 110-92 loss on Wednesday versus the Atlanta Hawks in the opener of a four-game homestand. Drew Gooden, who was acquired by the Wizards from Dallas in a deal last week, also went to the Clippers.

Chris Kaman had 21 points and 10 rebounds to pace the Clippers, who fell to 0-5 under new head coach Kim Hughes. Rasual Butler and Eric Gordon each scored 18 points, while Craig Smith had 15 points in defeat.

"We showed signs of playing the right way, but we shot ourselves in the foot with turnovers," said Clippers head coach Hughes, whose squad turned the ball over 22 times.

LA will also host Charlotte and Detroit, and is 14-12 at home this season. In injury news for the Clippers, veteran guard Baron Davis is questionable for Saturday's game with a sore back and did not play against the Hawks.

Meanwhile, the new-look Kings finalized a three-way trade this week that involved both New York and Houston. The Knicks landed Tracy McGrady from the Rockets and Sacramento's Sergio Rodriguez, while Houston gets forwards Jordan Hill and Jared Jeffries from the Knicks, as well as a protected 2012 first- round pick. From Sacramento, Houston gets guard Kevin Martin and forward/center Hilton Armstrong. The Kings get guard Larry Hughes from New York and forwards Carl Landry and Joey Dorsey from Houston.

Sacramento made it rookie Tyreke Evans' team and hopes to stop a two-game slide Saturday against the Clippers. The Kings opened a three-game road trip with Wednesday's embarrassing 130-98 loss at Golden State, as Evans finished with 17 points, 10 assists and five boards for the Kings, who have dropped 15 of their last 18 games.

Jason Thompson chipped in 17 points and 15 rebounds off the bench.

"I have a dentist appointment tomorrow, and if I go in without any anesthetics, it will probably feel better than I feel right now," Kings head coach Paul Westphal said after the loss. "They beat us 42-16 in the second quarter. The first quarter is what I expected for the game, but the second quarter killed us. We were embarrassed. The Warriors played great. They were fantastic. Everything they did tonight was great."

The Kings will also visit Phoenix and are 5-23 away from ARCO Arena.

Tonight's tilt between the Clippers and Kings is the first of four meetings this season. Sacramento won three of four matchups a year ago and is 19-6 in the previous 25 encounters in this series.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds  
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.

Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.
