76ers make a stop in Sacramento

Basketball Betting Lines

12/30/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia 76ers hope to build on a rare win tonight when they resume a six-game road trip in Sacramento.

Elton Brand notched a season-high 25 points on 11-of-16 shooting off the bench Monday to lead the Sixers in a 104-93 triumph over the Portland Trail Blazers at the Rose Garden.

Allen Iverson returned from a four-game absence while dealing with an arthritic knee to score 19 points and dish out five assists for Philadelphia, which produced the first win three games into its trek.

"I've been working, especially on my jumper, just trying to get my legs under me, get my legs stronger, so I can get that lift that I need," said Iverson.

Marreese Speights sank 7-of-8 from the field to lead a trio of Sixers with 14 points. Andre Iguodala and Samuel Dalembert also scored 14, with the former adding nine assists and the latter eight boards.

Philadelphia snapped a three-game slide overall for just its third win in the last 19 games.

"You need a lot of toughness out there. The whole problem has been defense, rebounding, things like that, so we need that toughness out there; we need to get those rebounds we need to go to the basket, get post catches, we need that sort of thing," said Brand.

The Kings, meanwhile, are coming off a big win over Denver on Monday. Andres Nocioni scored a season-high 21 points off the bench in that one as Sacramento captured a 106-101 win to improve to 11-5 at ARCO Arena.

With the win, Sacramento, which finished an NBA-worst 17-65 last year, already matched its win total on its home floor from last season when the club finished 11-30 as the host.

Donte Greene and Beno Udrih each added 17 points for the Kings, who finally got a win on their four-game homestand (1-2). They had lost their two previous games in overtime to Cleveland and the Lakers, respectively.

Jason Thompson added 15 points and 11 rebounds, while Omri Casspi had 11 points in the win.

"We knew how close we were to winning those games. We didn't want it to happen a third time in a row at home," said Thompson of the Kings' recent stretch. "We're a young team that has been learning through some growing pains. We want to be an elite team in this tough conference and you need wins like these, especially at home."

Star rookie Tyreke Evans, a Philadelphia-area native who leads all first-year players in scoring with 20.3 points per game, sat out the game against the Nuggets with a balky right ankle and remains questionable for tonight's contest.

The Sixers swept the home-and-home series between the two clubs last season and have won three in a row overall vs. the Kings.

MySportsbook.com: NFL draft - The NFC South


In part two of MySportsbook.com’s draft preview, we’ll take a look at a division that was extremely disappointing last season: the NFC South.  Many “experts” predicted the Panthers to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, of course they could not even make the playoffs in an extremely weak NFC.  The Saints definitely made up for the disappointing seasons of their NFC South brethren by exploding out of no where en route to the NFC Championship game.  For the avid NFL gambler, it is imperative to pay attention to the NFL draft.  Although free agency gets a ton of publicity, the successful franchises build their teams around the draft.

1. New Orleans Saints
Who would have thought this time last year that the Saints would be the favorites to win the NFC South for the 2007 campaign?  New Orleans is loaded with firepower on the offensive side of the ball but with the exodus of Joe Horn they will most likely look to draft a WR on Day 1.  Despite having the NFL’s 3rd ranked pass defense last season, the Saints will most likely upgrade their CB’s with one of their first two picks. Other possibilities for the Saints will be TE and DT.  Because of where they will be selecting (27th), the Saints could go the “best available player” route which could net a LB.

Key additions: Eric Johnson TE, Troy Evans LB, David Patten WR
Key loses: Joe Horn WR,
Team needs: CB, WR, TE, LB, DT
Possible draftees: Aaron Ross CB Texas, Darrelle Revis CB Pitt, Ted Ginn Jr. WR OSU, Paul Posluszny LB PSU, Chris Houston CB Arkansas, Greg Olsen TE Miami

2. Carolina Panthers
Carolina was one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL last season.  With the signing of David Carr, expect the very first quarterback controversy to come out of Carolina if Jake Delhomme doesn’t rebound quickly from an average 2007 season. With veteran safety Mike Minter getting up there in age, they will look to draft a safety on Day 1 but probably not in the first round.  LB is another need with the loss of Chris Draft to go along with Dan Morgan’s concussion problems.  If TE Greg Olsen is still on the board, he might be too good to pass up despite their needs on the defensive side of the ball.

Key additions: David Carr QB
Key loses: Chris Draft LB
Team needs: LB, TE, S, OT
Possible draftees: Greg Olsen TE Miami, Patrick Willis LB Ole Miss, Paul Posluszny LB PSU, Levi Brown OT PSU

3. Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons were another NFC South team to have a disappointing 2007 season.  The Falcons have been plenty busy during the off season with plenty of players coming and going including a new head coach.  The Falcons were able to improve their draft position with the trade of coveted backup QB Matt Schaub.  High on the list of Day 1 needs will be a defensive end to replace Patrick Kerney and a hard hitting safety since Lawyer Milloy is nearing the end of his career.  With an additional 2nd round pick, the Falcons could attempt to trade up to acquire local product WR Calvin Johnson. 

Key additions: Joey Harrington QB, Toniu Fonoti OG, Joe Horn WR
Key loses: Justin Griffen RB, Patrick Kerney DE, Matt Lehr OG, Ashley Lelie WR, Matt Schaub QB
Team needs: DE, S, OT, WR, DT
Possible draftees: LaRon Landry S LSU, Amobi Okoye DT Louisville, Levi Brown OT PSU, Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas, Alan Branch DT Michigan

4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Age really caught up to the Bucs last season.  The Bucs still have plenty of household names on defense in Ronde Barber, Simeon Rice and Derrick Brooks but the one thing those three have in common is unfortunately age.  It is imperative for the Bucs to get much younger, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Despite having bigger needs on the defensive side of the ball, WR Calvin Johnson is the most likely pick if he is still available when the Bucs pick at the four spot.  This would suit Bucs’ faithful just fine as Johnson is widely considered the top talent in the draft and it is a position of need for the Bucs.

Key additions: Jeff Garcia QB, Kevin Carter DE, Torrie Cox CB, Cato June LB
Key loses: Dewayne White DE, Sean Mahan OG
Team needs: WR, LB, DE, CB (Youth on defense!)
Possible draftees: Calvin Johnson WR Georgia Tech, Gains Adams DE Clemson, Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas
