Suns host Kings in the desertBasketball Betting Lines02/21/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Phoenix Suns will welcome a familiar foe to the desert tonight, when they play host to the Pacific Division-rival Sacramento Kings at US Airways Center. The Suns can sweep the season series with Sacramento for the second time in the previous three seasons and have won four straight, 10 of 11 and 15 of the past 17 meetings with the Kings. Sacramento last won a season series against the Suns in 2003-04. Phoenix has won eight straight home games in this series and opened a quick homestand with an 88-80 victory versus the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. Amare Stoudemire scored a game-high 22 points and grabbed eight rebounds, while veteran Grant Hill added 16 points. "We set the tone early tonight," Stoudemire said after the Suns were held under 100 points in a second-straight game for only the second time this season. "The second unit did a phenomenal job in holding the lead and letting us get some rest. It was a sold team effort tonight." Robin Lopez had 12 points and nine rebounds for the Suns, who rebounded from a 107-97 loss at Dallas on Wednesday to win for the seventh time in nine tries. Phoenix won without scoring 100 points for the first time since November 25, 2008 and for the first time at home since March 9, 2008. The Suns are sixth in the conference standings and have won 18 of their last 21 home games against teams from the West. Meanwhile, the Kings have lost three in a row and will close out a three-game road trip Sunday in the Valley of the Sun. In Saturday's 99-89 loss against the Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center, Rookie of the Year candidate Tyreke Evans totaled 21 points for the Kings, who have lost 21 of their last 25 games. Omri Casspi added 15 points and has scored in double-figures in three straight and four of the last five games. "We stopped guarding people in the second quarter and it got away from us," Kings coach Paul Westphal said. "We didn't have an answer for Gordon, Kaman and Butler all night. It's discouraging for us to be as flat as we were. Give the Clippers credit for shooting the ball well." The Kings are 5-24 away from home this season.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino. The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1. MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5. Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.

Football Betting: Defensive Rookie of the Year AwardsOddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite. Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award. Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1. Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award. Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1. All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY. A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
