Grizzlies, Kings meet in Sacramento

Basketball Betting Lines

11/05/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Memphis Grizzlies hope to build on some early season success and halt an ugly 19-game skid in California's capital as they open up a four-game road trip by visiting Sacramento for the Kings' home opener on Wednesday night.

The Grizzlies evened their record at 2-2 Monday when Marc Gasol logged 27 points and 16 rebounds to lead Memphis to a 90-79 victory over the Golden State Warriors in FedEx Forum.

Rudy Gay and rookie O.J. Mayo chipped in 14 and 13 points, respectively, for the Grizzlies, who have won both of their home games this season but haven't tasted victory in Sacramento since 1998.

Mike Conley was 1-for-6 from the field, but had seven assists as the Grizzlies snapped a seven-game losing streak against the Warriors.

Sacramento finished a torturous four-game road swing to open the season winless after getting trounced in Philadelphia, 125-91, on Monday.

Rookie forward Jason Thompson had 17 points, six rebounds, and five assists off the bench in front of a large gathering of his fans in the City of Brotherly Love. Drafted 12th overall out of Rider by the Kings, Thompson played high school basketball at nearby Lenape High in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey.

Spencer Hawes had 15 points and eight rebounds for the Kings in the loss and Kevin Martin added 14 points for Sacramento.

Sacramento hasn't started a season with five straight losses since losing its first seven games in the 1990-91 season.

Kings center Brad Miller will sit out the last game of a five-game suspension and be eligible to return on Friday when the Kings face off with Minnesota.

The two teams split their four meetings last season with the Kings winning a 107-106 overtime thriller in their last encounter in Sacramento.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
