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.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
