Joe Johnson -2.5 Points vs Ben Gordon (-110)
Chicago has most of their guys back healthy with the exception being Drew Gooden but Hinrich is back and giving Coach Del Negro some good play off the bench. Deng has come back from his ankle injury and looked effective too, posting a double double yesterday against the Knicks. I don't think Gordon has adjusted to his role with everyone back and he is struggling with his shot lately. Over his past 5 games, he's averaged 12 points on 38% shooting. On the other side, we have Joe Johnson who is having quite a year himself. With Marvin Williams and Al Horford banged up for the Hawks, I expect JJ to pick up the scoring slack on the offensive end to account for those two.
