03/03/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kevin Martin faces his old mates for the first time tonight as the Houston Rockets welcome the Sacramento Kings to south Texas.
The Rockets acquired Martin from Sacramento on Feb. 18 in a three-team blockbuster that sent Tracy McGrady and his massive expiring contract from Houston to New York.
Martin, who led the Kings in scoring in three different seasons after being selected as the 26th overall pick out of Western Carolina in the 2004 NBA Draft, struggled a bit in his first few games with the Rockets, averaging 15.3 points in his first three games with the club, all losses.
However, the high-scoring guard has rebounded from there, netting 31.0 points per game over his last three contests, two of them Houston wins.
"It will be emotional, but it's not like I'll be out there trying to get them and it's a one-man show," Martin told the Rockets' Web site about facing Sacramento. "What we're trying to accomplish here is much bigger than Kevin playing Sacramento. We've got bigger goals and bigger expectations here, so I'm just trying to get back to being a great player and hopefully we have a big month."
Most recently Aaron Brooks and Martin both netted a game-high 28 points on Monday as the Rockets blew out the Toronto Raptors, 116-92, at the Toyota Center.
David Andersen added 16 points in almost 23 minutes off the bench and Luis Scola chipped in 11 for the Rockets, who have won just three of their last 10 games overall.
Brooks, Martin and Scola were again among the Rockets' leading scorers after becoming the first trio in franchise history to all score at least 30 points in their last game home game, against San Antonio on Friday.
"We shot well. We moved it well," said Rockets coach Rick Adelman. "I thought in the second and third quarter we defended well and did what we wanted to do. It's a game we needed to get and now we need to build on it."
The Kings, meanwhile, lost the opener of a three-game road trip last night in Oklahoma City. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook finished with 39 and 30 points, respectively, in that one to lead the Thunder to a 113-107 victory over Sacramento.
Rookie star Tyreke Evans had 27 points to pace Sacramento, which had won its previous two contests. Carl Landry, acquired from Houston in the Martin trade, added 17 points and seven boards, while Francisco Garcia and Beno Udrih each scored 13 in the loss.
"I think we're definitely going in the right direction," Kings head coach Paul Westphal said. "We're unfortunately a couple years behind the Thunder timetable. We're trying to do the same thing they did."
The Rockets and Kings have split their first two meetings this season but Houston has won four of five overall in the series.

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.
