03/14/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Phoenix Suns hope to get back on the winning track Sunday when they resume a season-long seven-game homestand against the fading New Orleans Hornets at US Airways Center.
The Suns fell to 1-2 on their residency Friday when Kobe Bryant finished with 21 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, as the Los Angeles Lakers earned a 102-96 victory over Phoenix.
Amare Stoudemire had 29 points and 16 rebounds to lead the Suns, who are currently the seventh seed in the Western Conference playoff picture. Jason Richardson added 16 points, while Steve Nash had 14 points and eight assists in the loss.
"I think the second quarter was what got us," Stoudemire said. "The Lakers took advantage of it. Once you get down against those guys, it's tough to get back."
The Hornets, who are opening up a five-game road trip tonight, lost for the sixth time in seven games Friday when Carmelo Anthony put up 32 points to go with 12 rebounds, and Denver pulled away late for a 102-95 win over New Orleans.
David West and Marcus Thornton led New Orleans with 30 and 23 points, respectively. Darren Collison accounted for 17 points and 10 assists in the loss for the Hornets, who are now an almost insurmountable seven games behind Portland for the final playoff spot in the West with just 16 games left to be played.
"They made plays and we didn't," Thornton said. "They're an elite team, veterans, and they made plays down the stretch."
Veteran forward James Posey did not travel with the Hornets to Phoenix due to a nasty case of the flu.
Phoenix has taken two of three meetings with the Hornets this season, including a 124-104 rout in the desert back in November.

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
