Wizards -2
----
Washington really needs this win, as they have the last seven, I think the difference is tonight the Raptors are traveling and playing a back to back against a very young team with a lot of talented energetic players. Toronto is at its best when they are creating floor space and getting open shots, I think they will fail to do so tonight with tired legs.
There has to be SOME SUSPICION that a winless team is favored no??
Under 185.5 Minnesota game
------------
Both of these teams are playing their 4th game in five days. Minnesota is playing its 5th in seven and its 3rd in a row back to back to back. The bulls are playing their second back to back in 5 days and they should know that they have to slow it down vs Minnesota and cause them to be reckless.
Memphis +3 V OKC
------
Ok city just won all three of their back to back to back, but they must be a bit tired after all that. Tonight they play a wounded memphis team whose coach Lionel Hollins is trying to find interim answers in the absence of Ze BO. I will say this, memphis has kept very close games in their last two without randolph and despite a very poor performance from Marc Gasol last game, they hung right in there with the lakers. Expect Memphis to be pumped for this game and perhaps give the thunder a loss. as far as match ups go, I think the Thunder have a LOT of adjusting to do without maynor in their lineup. Westbrook turns the ball over as many times as he assists it, and I think their options are very limited for a backup in those instances where Westbrook is out of control .
Sacramento +9.5 V 76ers
-----
Sacramento is very well rested, playing a sixers team that played last night. Also philly is coming off a large win against one of the leagues more hyped teams, the pacers. Sacramento is starting a long road trip with this game, and I think they will want to start off on the right foot. Evans had an excellent game last time out, and I expect him to play up to the high talent level of the philly backcourt. Cousins needs to bang with Brand and Philly's interior attack is tough, but I honestly can't see sacramento losing by more than 6.
