The vaunted home-and-home with the Jazz is upon us!

A quick of miscellaneous things real quick…

To the lineups!UTAH
PG – Deron Williams: Not Chris Paul.
SG – Matt Harpring
SF – Andrei Kirilenko, the white Shawn Marion.
PF – Carlos Boozer? Is he playing this week, or is he off?
C  – Mehmet Okur, possible All-Star.

SACTOWN
PG – Mike "Professional scorer" Bibby
SG – Arthur Bonzarelli
SF – Ron-Ron Cunningham
PF – Kenneth Cornelius Thomas
C  – Shareef The Cursed? Brian Skinner? Brad Miller and his broken thumb?

The line: +3.5. I'd take the Kings. This line should probably be 2.5 or even 2. If this game was in Sacramento, wouldn't you expect the Kings to be favored by at least 4?

Fun bet o' the night: I don't believe this. I actually don't believe this. On Bodog right now, you can get better odds (12/1) that Kobe will score 60+ against Charlotte than Kobe scoring less than 20 (18/1). Absolutely astounding. One turned ankle, and that's a good bet. And yes, this is a landmark moment for NBA betting.

Sideshow most likely to be entertaining: Rick Adelman is reportedly going to strap Shareef down a little bit. I'm for this. The wires are getting removed Wednesday – he'll be back to bronze statue status within two weeks, no doubt. Let him take it easy against the Jazz.

Best matchup: Sacramento's bigs vs. Mehmet Okur. He's on a roll. Stop him, please.

Did Ron-Ron find any good shellfish in the Great Salt Lake? Did Bibby go Deron Williams on Park City? Is Kevin Martin's hand literally on fire? Find out tonight!

Let's go Kings!
