Basketball Betting Lines

11/01/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - After opening the 2008-09 season with consecutive wins on the road, the Hornets will return home for back-to-back games, starting with tonight's showdown between LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers at New Orleans Arena.

The Hornets won their season opener on Wednesday with a 108-103 triumph at Golden State, then traveled to Phoenix the following night and beat the Suns, 108-95, at US Airways Center. Chris Paul finished two rebounds shy of a triple-double and had 20 points, 10 assists and eight boards in the win.

Morris Peterson scored 21 points for the Hornets, who played without center Tyson Chandler because of a sprained right ankle. New Orleans forward Peja Stojakovic left the game in the fourth quarter due to a severe right ankle sprain and registered 20 points. David West had 18 points for New Orleans.

Chandler and Stojakovic are expected to miss Saturday's game. The Hornets will also host Atlanta on their brief homestand.

Cleveland is 1-1 on the season, having lost to Boston in the season opener on Tuesday before handing the Charlotte Bobcats a 96-79 defeat on Thursday.

In the win over Charlotte head coach Larry Brown and the Bobcats, James had a solid performance with 22 points, nine rebounds and nine assists to lead the way.

Daniel Gibson went 4-of-6 from three-point range on the way to a 25-point night and Mo Williams scored 17 points to go with seven assists for the Cavaliers. Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 11 points and Ben Wallace contributed 10 rebounds and five blocks in the win.

The Cavs will visit Dallas after their bout in New Orleans.

New Orleans won both meetings with Cleveland last season, but the Cavs have won eight of the last 11 encounters.

Cleveland has lost two straight and 12 of 15 contests at the Hornets.
