Millsap leads Jazz to home-and-home sweep of Clips

Basketball Betting Lines

11/04/2008 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Paul Millsap scored 15 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter and the Utah Jazz cruised to a 89-73 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers in the back end of a home-and-home series from the Staples Center.

Millsap was 8-of-12 from the field with nine rebounds while Andrei Kirilenko notched a double-double with 15 points and 11 boards for the Jazz, who have claimed victory in each of their first three games this season despite being without star guard Deron Williams, who is out with an ankle injury.

"We're playing as a team with or without Deron," Millsap said. "I busted my but and it worked out for me. Hopefully I can continue to help my team."

Carlos Boozer scored 25 points and hauled in 10 rebounds, as the Jazz previously used a big second half to pummel the Clippers, 101-79, on Saturday in Salt Lake City.

The wins gave head coach Jerry Sloan his 997th and 998th wins at the helm of the Jazz. Sloan has 1,092 career NBA wins over the course of his 29-year coaching odyssey, the first three of which were spent in Chicago. Utah's next two games are at home against Portland on Wednesday and Friday vs. Oklahoma City.

Chris Kaman had a team-high 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Clippers, who have dropped their first four games to start the season.

Baron Davis returned from a sore hip and shot 5-of-15 from the field for 14 points and doled out nine helpers while Marcus Camby made his debut in a Clippers uniform, collecting five points and nine rebounds in almost 27 minutes. Camby sat out the preseason and LA's first three games with a heel injury.

"It was like riding a bike," Camby said of his return. "It was a good step for me. I felt a little winded out there but we're going to build from tonight."

Utah held a narrow lead, 36-35, at the half and the Clips stuck around in the third quarter with a three-ball from Davis tying the game, 57-57, with two minutes left in the third.

The Jazz went on a 10-3 run that bridged the third and fourth quarters and Millsap put on a one-man show down the stretch, with 15 straight points to lift the Jazz to victory.

Game Notes

The Clippers next take on the Lakers in a designated away game at the Staples Center...Boozer had 13 points and eight rebounds Monday...LA's Al Thornton contributed 11 points and seven boards...The Jazz have beaten the Clips seven of the last nine meetings...Attendance was 12,712.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.

Bet NFL Sports Lines

Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.

Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.

A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.

Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.

Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.

And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
