DET +1 vs. MEM
This is a revenge opportunity for the Pistons, as the last time these two teams met it was decided on a Matt Barnes full court heave that miraculously stole the game for the Grizz! They both play basically the same style of slow it down, defend the shit out of you not fun for the casual NBA fan basketball, so it should be a close one. Ultimately I think the revenge factor is just enough for the Pistons to secure a victory in Memphis.
CLE +6.5 vs. SAS
The first decent NBA match up on national TV since Christmas day!! The Spurs are riding a 31 game home winning streak at the moment, but if you had to bet one team with one player that could end it, it would have to be LeBron and the Cavs right?? Plus knowing Pop and his disdain for the NBA, he might sit all of the starters tonight for the Spurs to send a message or something and then watch as his back-ups somehow keep it closer than anyone expected. Good ol' Pop. Cavs win on the road and end the streak!
SAC +2 vs. UTA
I honestly do not understand how the Jazz keep plugging along and haven't fallen into a Suns-like spiral of ineptitude with all of the injuries they have suffered. If Sacramento loses just one of their rotation players they might not win a game for six months, but for Utah it doesn't matter who they roll out, they are still competitive. Really speaks highly of Quinn Snyder's coaching ability. And even though I just waxed poetically about the Jazz, I'm taking Boogie and the points on the road here.
