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.

NFL Football Sports Betting

Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.

New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.

His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.

HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.

The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.

RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.

First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.

The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.

These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.

New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
