02/25/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The lowly Sacramento Kings resume a three-game homestand tonight, when they welcome the Charlotte Bobcats to ARCO Arena.
The Kings dropped the opener of the residency on Monday, when Chris Paul scored 27 points and dished out 13 assists and New Orleans welcomed center Tyson Chandler back to the lineup with a 112-105 win over Sacramento.
Chandler, who had been sidelined the last 16 games with a sprained ankle, had 15 points and 10 rebounds. He was traded last week to Oklahoma City but failed the physical, necessitating his return to the Hornets.
Sacramento's Kevin Martin scored 24 of his game-high 32 points in the final quarter, but the Kings lost for the eighth time in nine games. The 24 points were an ARCO Arena record for most in a single quarter.
Spencer Hawes had 13 points and tied a career-high with 14 rebounds for the Kings, who fell to 8-19 as the host on the year.
Sacramento will finish its residency by welcoming the Los Angeles Clippers to town on Friday.
The Bobcats, meanwhile, fell to 0-2 on a five-game road trip on Tuesday, when Steve Nash had 22 points and five assists to lead the Phoenix Suns past Charlotte, 112-102, at US Airways Center.
Boris Diaw, who was traded from the Suns to the Bobcats earlier this season, chipped in a season-high 27 points, 10 boards and six helpers for the Bobcats, who have dropped three in a row overall. Raymond Felton totaled 14 points and nine helpers in defeat and Gerald Wallace had 13 points for Charlotte.
Raja Bell, who also was traded from the Suns to the Bobcats earlier this season, had 23 points against his former team.
The Bobcats, who have lost seven straight on the road and are now a miserable 6-20 as the visitor on the year, will finish their trek with visits to Sacramento, Golden State and the LA Clippers.
The home team has won seven of the eight all-time meetings between the two clubs and the Bobcats have never won in Sacramento, losing all four of their trips to California's capital.

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.
