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.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).

Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.

A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.

Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.

"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.

De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.

The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.

The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.

De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.

Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.

But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
