01/29/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Starting point guard Deron Williams is having an All-Star type season for the Utah Jazz, who own a five-game lead over the second place Denver Nuggets in the Northwest Division.
Originally selected out of Illinois with the third overall pick by Utah in the 2005 NBA Draft, Williams is averaging 17.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and a team- best 9.2 assists per game. The Illinois product has collected 13 double- doubles and has registered double-digits in assists 16 times this season.
The New Jersey Nets play the finale of a five-game road trip when they visit the Jazz on Monday at EnergySolutions Arena. It is the second and final game of the campaign between the squads. On November 8th, Vince Carter scored 30 points and pulled down eight rebounds as the Nets handed the Jazz a 96-89 loss at Continental Airlines Arena.
New Jersey has lost three of its last four at Utah. The Nets have won five of the last six contests in the series.
Utah tries to get back on the winning track against New Jersey. On Saturday, Bobby Jackson scored 21 points off the bench to lead the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets over the Jazz, 94-83, at the Ford Center.
Williams finished with 27 points on 11-of-19 from the field and dished out eight assists in the loss to the Hornets for the Jazz, who have dropped two of three since winning four in a row. Paul Millsap recorded a double- double with 15 points and 17 boards, while Derek Fisher contributed 14 points and Mehmet Okur netted 11 in defeat.
On the injury front for Utah, forward Carlos Boozer (bruised left knee) is questionable for Monday's contest. He played just over three minutes against the Hornets and scored two points.
Boozer leads the Jazz in scoring (22.1 ppg) and rebounding (11.8 rpg). He has recorded 33 double-doubles and has scored in double-digits in 41 outings this season.
The Jazz are 16-5 at home this season. They are scheduled to host Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday and will visit reigning MVP Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns on Saturday. Utah is 2-0 against Phoenix and 1-1 versus San Antonio.

Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.
New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.
His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.
HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.
The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.
RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.
First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.
The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.
These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.
New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
