A decent-sized schedule is on tap tonight, with 13 NBA games, three college basketball games, a televised NCAA football game and six games in the NHL.

Orlando and Cleveland is the marquee game in the NBA tonight, while there are several interesting NHL games.

Atlanta and Denver are the two most popular plays in the NBA, while the Buffalo Sabres are the public's favorite team in the NHL.

Tuesday's schedule isn't really that enticing from a sports fan perspective, although sports bettors may find it a bit more to their liking.

There is just one college football game, with Buffalo hosting Ohio, while many of the marquee NBA teams are idle. Buffalo is favored by one point.

An interesting NBA game will take place in Sacramento, where the upstart Thunder travels to play the Kings. Last year the two teams combined for 40 wins, but Oklahoma City is 3-3 so far this season and the Kings are 3-4.

On a day with several intriguing match-ups, one of the most interesting will take place when the Oregon Ducks meet the Stanford Cardinal. Oregon, fresh of its huge win over USC, is favored by a touchdown.

If there was ever a team due for a letdown, it's the Oregon Ducks, a fact most bettors are aware of, as the line is a bit lower than it should be. Stanford is no slouch and have the ability to run the ball, something that could give the Ducks problems.

Other key games are Alabama vs. LSU and Ohio State vs. Penn State.

Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy is looking for a new publisher after Random House decided not to go ahead with the release of his book, Blowing The Whistle. The book, which was scheduled to be released this month, was pulled after the NBA threatened to sue.

While it appears the book may never be published, that doesn't mean you can't see a little bit of what has the NBA so up in arms.
