Game Boosts Suns With Kings

Basketball Betting Lines

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Fresh off a win over a Derrick Rose-less Chicago team, the Memphis Grizzlies will invade the Big Easy tonight in hopes on climbing above .500 for the first time this season against the Hornets. Rudy Gay scored 24 points on Monday while Mike Conley filled the stat sheet with 20 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and four steals as the Grizzlies routed the Bulls, 102-86, in their annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day game.

 

Marc Gasol had 19 points and 10 rebounds and Marreese Speights netted 16 points with 12 rebounds for the Grizzlies, who won their season-high third straight game. They shot 54 percent from the field against Chicago, which came into the contest limiting its opponents to 41.3 percent shooting -- tied for third in the NBA.

 

The Hornets, meanwhile, have dropped four straight, including a 108-99 setback in Memphis last Saturday. New Orleans followed that with an 84-77 home loss to Portland, it's ninth loss in 10 games.

 

Jarrett Jack ended with 21 points for the Hornets, who have lost six in a row at home for the first time since Feb. 22-March 18, 2006.

 

"We just shot ourselves in the foot," Okafor said. "We played good defense and set our turnovers across the board. We just have to do a better job of taking care of the basketball."

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The improved Pacers take their act out west for a three- game road trip starting with tonight's tip-off in Sacramento. Indiana, which will play six of its next seven away from home, won its third straight game on Saturday when Danny Granger scored 21 points as the Pacers beat the Boston Celtics for the second time in nine days, 97-83.

 

Darren Collison and Paul George added 17 points apiece for the Pacers, who have won five of six overall to improve to 9-3 this season.

 

The Kings, meanwhile, are returning home for a short stop after a 1-4 road trip, culminating with Monday's 99-86 loss at Minnesota.

 

"I've got the simplest offense you can run," said Sacramento coach Keith Smart, who is 2-5 since taking over for the fired Paul Westphal. "You just move it to a spot and move it to the next spot. But for whatever reason we're trying to make the play ourselves with the defense set."

 

Indiana has won three of its past four visits to California's capital.
