Kurt Warner and his Arizona Cardinals will be looking to tag the San Francisco 49ers for yet another loss on Monday Night Football. Here's a look in your Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

The Niners have been in a tailspin over the past month and a half, losing five games in a row and changing head coaches and starting quarterbacks. San Francisco's latest loss came two weeks ago against Seattle, when they fell 34-13 at home. J.T. O'Sullivan posted a QB rating of just 59.8 in that game; Shaun Hill will be the starter Monday night.

The Cardinals have won three of their last four games, getting past Buffalo, Dallas, and St. Louis while dropping a decision to Carolina two weeks ago. Warner continued his strong play in the team's 34-13 win over the Rams last time out, going 23-of-34 for 342 yards passing with two touchdowns. Tim Hightower had a score and 109 rushing yards.

Arizona is listed as a 9.5-point home favorite for Monday night, with the total at 46.5 points. The Cardinals are 5-3 straight-up, 6-2 against-the-spread, and 5-3 on the OVER/UNDER so far this year. The Niners are at 2-6, 2-6, and 4-4 in their eight games.

Other Notable Events

Winners of four of their five games so far in November, the Phoenix Suns will play host to the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night. The Suns knocked off the Milwaukee Bucks 104-86 on the road last time out, with Shaquille O'Neal scoring 29 points and grabbing 11 boards. Amare Stoudemire picked up 24 points, and Steve Nash tossed in 16 points.

There are four other games on the NBA's Monday schedule, including an Atlantic battle between the Raptors and Celtics in Boston - both those teams also played on Sunday. Also on tap: Oklahoma City at Indiana, Portland at Orlando, and New Jersey at Miami.

The Rest of the Schedule

There are just two games on the ice on Monday night, with Edmonton at the Rangers and Tampa Bay at Washington. The Capitals are 7-4-2 on the season despite getting minimal contributions from Alexander Ovechkin (two goals in 11 games) and Jose Theodore (.877 save percentage). The Lightning are hoping top draft pick Steve Stamkos can get on a roll this week - he has just four points in 13 games this season.

As well, college basketball gets going on Monday, with a pair of games in the annual Coaches vs. Cancer Tournament. Georgia Southern will take on Houston at 4:00pm ET, while it'll be Presbyterian at Duke at 7:00. Both games are at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
