Kings, Warriors meet again in Sacramento

Basketball Betting Lines

02/04/2012 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - In-state rivals meet for the second time this week when the Sacramento Kings play host to the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors just finished up a lengthy six-game homestand by beating Sacramento on Tuesday by a 93-90 score and followed that triumph with a 119-101 rout of Utah on Thursday.

Golden State's talented backcourt of Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry combined to score 62 points vs. the Jazz. Ellis had 33 points while Curry finished with 29 points and 12 assists for the Warriors, who used an 18-2 run that bridged between the third and fourth quarters to pull away.

David Lee recorded 23 points and 14 rebounds as the Warriors won three of the last four on the residency to finish at 3-3 overall.

"The biggest thing was defending and getting out and running," Ellis said. "We were playing Warriors basketball."

Golden State will put its 2-5 road record to the test Saturday.

Sacramento, meanwhile, bounced back from its setback to Golden State earlier in the week to top Portland, 95-92, at Power Balance Pavilion on Thursday.

Marcus Thornton returned from a four-game absence due to a bruised left quad and scored eight of his 20 points in the fourth quarter of that one to lift the Kings.

John Salmons netted 19 points, Tyreke Evans had 18 and Jason Thompson recorded a double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds for Sacramento, which snapped a five-game losing streak.

"It was a great crowd effort tonight and we played hard," Evans said.

The Kings are 5-4 in California's capital this season.

The Warriors split four meetings with Sacramento a season ago. In Tuesday's encounter in Oakland, Brandon Rush recorded 20 points off the bench, including 15 in the fourth quarter, as Golden State held off the Kings late for a 93-90 victory at ORACLE Arena.

These two teams have split the past 14 encounters in Sacramento.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl

NFL Super Bowl Betting

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.

Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.

The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
