Points Leads Tonight Over Toronto

Basketball Betting Lines

DeMar DeRozan scored 25 points to lead the Raptors, while Linas Kleiza and Jerryd Bayless netted 17 points apiece. Toronto has now lost three of its last four games.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Utah Jazz haven't fared so well lately in the Big Apple and hope to reverse those fortunes tonight against a shorthanded New York Knicks team at historic Madison Square Garden. Amare Stoudemire will miss tonight's game as he deals with a tragedy. According to Florida Highway Patrol, the brother of the Knicks star died in a car accident early Monday morning and Stoudemire is traveling to Florida to be with his family.

 

Utah will play two straight and five of its next six games on the road and has dropped two in a row away from Salt Lake City. It is 2-5 as the guest this season -- a major dropoff from an 11-4 record at home. The Jazz ended a two- game slide and won for the third time in five tries with Saturday's 96-87 victory over the visiting Los Angeles Lakers. Al Jefferson scored 18 points and Paul Millsap added 16, with both players grabbing 13 boards for the Jazz, who got 12 points from both Josh Howard and Derrick Favors.

 

The Jazz hope to improve on their 4-1 record against the East tonight.

 

The Knicks are in the midst of playing 10 of 14 games at MSG and are coming off of Saturday's 99-92 triumph over New Jersey courtesy of a surprise performance from second-year guard Jeremy Lin. The Harvard product scored a career-high 25 points on 10-of-19 shooting and also collected seven assists and five rebounds. New York had dropped 11 of 13 games before edging the Nets.

 

"It's one game, so don't get too excited," said Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni. "But it was something we needed."

 

Landry Fields had just six points in Saturday's win, but is averaging 12.9 points in his last 11 games.

 

Usual Atlanta scorers Joe Johnson and Josh Smith were held to 16 and nine points, respectively, in a losing cause. Smith pulled down 10 rebounds as the Hawks fell to 8-3 as the host and sit two games behind Miami for the Southeast Division lead. Indiana will visit Philips Arena on Wednesday.

 

Phoenix has alternated wins and losses over its last six games, and will play two straight and five of the next six games on the road. It is 4-8 away from the Valley of the Sun this season.

 

"I think we need to stay focused, we need to stay somewhat loose I think," Lopez said after helping Phoenix hand Charlotte its 11th straight loss. "I think tonight seemed like some of the guys were having fun and obviously we had some nice dunks. I think before the game the atmosphere was a little loose, we had fun out there."

 

Steve Nash chipped in 11 points and handed out 10 assists. Phoenix was without starting guard Jared Dudley (thigh), snapping his career-best consecutive games played streak at 206. It was the fourth-longest active streak in the NBA. Dudley is questionable for Monday's game.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
