Knicks square off with Nets at MSG
Basketball Betting Lines
02/04/2012 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Knicks will play their third game in as many
nights when they entertain the local New Jersey Nets Saturday at Madison
Square Garden.
The Knicks have lost the first two of back-to-back-to-back contests and
suffered a 91-89 loss in Boston last night. Carmelo Anthony ended with 26
points and six assists for the Knicks, who haven't won in Beantown since a
101-77 victory back on November 24, 2006. Tyson Chandler recorded 20 points
and 11 rebounds, while Amare Stoudemire added 16 points and 11 boards for New
York, which has dropped 11 of its last 13 games to fall to 8-16 on the season.
"We need to find ways to be consistent all the way through the game. We're not
there yet," Knicks head coach Mike D'Antoni said.
New York will take a break after tonight's game and will get back to work
Monday versus Utah in the Big Apple. The Knicks are 4-7 in front of their home
crowd this season and are playing back-to-back-to-back games for the first
time since Mar. 20-22, 1999, when they beat Boston and lost to both Toronto
and Atlanta.
New Jersey has lost three of its last four games and dropped a 108-105
decision versus Minnesota last night. Wolves guard Luke Ridnour buried the go-
ahead three-pointer with 1:23 remaining, while Anthony Morrow ended with a
career-high 42 points and nailed eight three-pointers for the Nets, who went
1-1 on a two-game homestand and failed to build off a recent win over Detroit.
"He was just on fire. Our guys were finding him, setting great screens for
him, he was letting it fly," Nets head coach Avery Johnson said of Morrow, who
sat out Wednesdays win over the Pistons with a sore left ankle. "Every play
that we drew up for him, he executed it perfectly. I think he was perfect and
special tonight. It was a special performance."
The Nets shot 44.2 percent from the field and received 16 points and nine
rebounds from Kris Humphries. Deron Williams tallied 12 points and matched a
season-high with 14 assists in defeat, while Jordan Farmar added 14 points in
a reserve role.
After visiting the Knicks, New Jersey will play two straight and four of five
games in the Garden State. The Nets are 5-9 away from Newark.
New York won all four matchups with the Nets a season ago and is 11-5 in the
past 16 meetings between the two Atlantic Division foes. The Nets have lost
two straight and four of five trips to Madison Square Garden.

Pacific-10 Conference odds
Teams that should be in: Stanford
Oregon and USC get their tickets punched after taking care of business this weekend. Yes, the Trojans' computer numbers aren't great, but there's no way the third-place team in this league is getting nixed. Grudgingly, I added Arizona after consultation with our Bracketologist. I don't know that Arizona will lose its last three (including a Pac-10 quarterfinal game), and even if the Cats do, I still can't see how they'd be left out, given the overall profile. That said, it bears watching, as three more L's would leave them at 18-12 (9-9) and on a 6-11 skid entering the Dance. It would be nice to see the Wildcats get at least one W in the Bay Area next week, as Cincinnati (albeit without Armein Kirkland and with a worse profile) was axed after a similar slide last season. I just couldn't rationalize having some of the other teams as locks and not having Arizona in that category -- there just aren't enough good teams behind the Cats to threaten their spot, it seems. Stanford has its fate in its own hands with the Arizona schools coming to the Farm to close out the regular season next weekend.
Should be in:
Stanford [17-10 (9-7), RPI: 40, SOS: 21] No shame in not getting a win in L.A., but that makes the home game against Arizona State a must-win ahead of what could be an intriguing meeting with Arizona should the Cats lose at Cal. Getting to 11 Pac-10 wins would make Selection Sunday much more comfortable, but 10's probably more than enough this season. The Cardinal have nonconference wins over Texas Tech and at Virginia to lean on, although they also lost badly to Air Force and Santa Clara at home.
| Southeastern Conference odds |
Work left to do: Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Mississippi State
It looks more and more possible that no one from the SEC West will make the NCAAs. How weird is that? Tennessee and Vandy move into the locks category after more good work this weekend. Kentucky stays there, although it would be smart for the Cats to handle Georgia at home Wednesday ahead of a trip to the Swamp. Could a disaster scenario (two more L's and a first-round SEC tourney exit) somehow dislodge the Cats despite their incredible computer numbers? Still unlikely, but not worth chancing it.
Work left to do:
Alabama [19-9 (6-8), RPI: 43, SOS: 47] The tough L at Tennessee was understandable, and even created some hope. Unfortunately, that hope was dashed by a home loss to Auburn, which leaves the Tide in some real trouble. There's still no signature win on the profile (no, Kentucky doesn't count), and the computer profile is weakening rapidly. The Tide conceivably could beat Ole Miss and win at Miss. State to get to 8-8 and clinch at least a share of the West crown, but that's probably not enough right now. The Tide will need to do some work in the SEC tourney.
Georgia [16-10 (8-6), RPI: 52, SOS: 23] This is the team with the best chance to make it from this section right now. The Bulldogs rebounded from a terrible performance at Ole Miss to beat down Miss. State. Now they are at Kentucky (king of the RPI 51-100 win) and home to Tennessee. That would be worth a lot of computer points to get both (which is doable), as both teams are in the top 11 in RPI. Finishing at least 9-7 is an absolute must, and I would feel much better about the Dawgs' chances if they got both to get to 10 SEC wins. They also beat Gonzaga, but lost to ACC bubblers Georgia Tech and Clemson.
Mississippi [18-10 (7-7), RPI: 63, SOS: 79] Like everyone else in this division, Ole Miss gacked up a chance to stake a claim, losing by double figures at South Carolina. Even 9-7 likely is not nearly enough with a nonconference profile devoid of anything notable.
Mississippi State [16-11 (7-7), RPI: 66, SOS: 37] With a chance to get in the mix, these Bulldogs were leashed by their Georgia counterparts. Could they get to 9-7? I guess -- although winning at Arkansas, then beating Alabama is no lock -- but would that mean all that much for a team with this overall profile? Probably not. There's nothing of note (on the good side) in the nonconference profile. |
