Just read in the Pittsburgh Tribune that Crosby is going to sit tonight to rest his groin. Also, Ryan Whitney has returned to Boston for family related reasons as well.
"Penguins captain Sidney Crosby will not play tonight against the New York Islanders at Mellon Arena. Crosby is day-to-day with a sore groin."
"Also, defenseman Ryan Whitney has left the team and has returned to Boston for family-related reasons."
Might be worth taking a chance on the Isle tonight. Books are dealing a wide range of prices - as high as -305 and as low as -200.
Good luck tonight.

Hey gang,
Jazz owner Larry Miller passed away yesterday afternoon after an eight-month battle with diabetes. He took over the team in 1985 and was pretty tight with many of the players. Covers mentions it in today's pick 'n' roll too.
Here's quote from point guard Deron Williams:
"Mr. Miller was a terrific man and friend. He changed the lives of thousands of people. We have all been blessed by his generosity and love for this community, and I am blessed to call him my friend. He gave us a lot of joy, and we will miss him."
On a related note, the Jazz practiced with everyone on the roster for the first time in months. Power forward Carlos Boozer was the big name back on the court but he's expected to practice at least once more before seeing any game action.
Might be a good spot to play the Jazz tonight in Salt Lake, giving 7.5 points to the Hornets.
Good luck everyone and may the winners be yours.

The Salt Lake Tribune is reporting that Utah Jazz guard Deron Williams will miss tonight's game vs. Charlotte with a bruised quadriceps on his right leg.

The Jazz may not need him at home vs. the Bobcats, but it's something to keep your eye on for the rest of the week.
The line for tonight's game is all over the place with Utah ranging anywhere from -6.5 to -8.5. It appears that the books are adjusting to Williams' absence.
