Emotional Jazz welcome Hornets to townBasketball Betting Lines02/21/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hearts will be heavy in Salt Lake City tonight, when the host Utah Jazz resume a five-game homestand versus the New Orleans Hornets at EnergySolutions Arena. On Friday, longtime Jazz owner Larry Miller succumbed to complications from type 2 diabetes at the age of 64. Miller had to have both legs amputated starting six inches below his knees due to complications from the disease in late January. He passed away surrounded by family at his Salt Lake City residence, and was owner of the club for 23 years. The Jazz will hit the floor Saturday in search of their fourth straight win overall and seventh in a row at home. They improved to 3-0 on the residency following Thursday's 90-85 triumph over the Boston Celtics, as Mehmet Okur scored 19 points and Deron Williams notched 18 and 10 assists in the win. Andrei Kirilenko scored 13 points in his comeback from surgery and Ronnie Brewer tallied 16 points for the Jazz, who improved to 23-6 at home for the season. Utah will also host the Atlanta Hawks. Meanwhile, New Orleans will resume a three-game road trip and opened the trek with Friday's 115-111 overtime loss against the Los Angeles Lakers. Rasual Butler had a season-high 31 points and Chris Paul chipped in 21 points and 16 assists, but fouled out in overtime. David West had 16 points and 16 rebounds in defeat, while James Posey ended with 17 points and 10 boards for New Orleans, which had a two-game winning streak halted and lost for the seventh time in 11 tries. The Hornets will also visit Sacramento and are 13-12 away from the Big Easy in 2008-09. Hornets center Tyson Chandler was on the bench after returning to the team following the reversal of his trade to Oklahoma City because of a failed physical. Chandler hasn't played since January 19 versus Indiana because of a left ankle injury and is also nursing a toe problem. His return date is unknown. Utah defeated New Orleans, 116-90, on January 7 this season at EnergySolutions Arena and has won two straight, six of seven and 10 of the past 13 meetings. The Hornets have dropped five in a row and 14 of 18 trips to Utah.

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.
