Utah is 14-5 with Kirilenko in the line-up and the other day Coach Sloan, who doesn't say such things lightly, said he's playing the best basketball of his career. Plus they just got PG McLeod back who does a good job keeping the ball moving when the second unit is in. Also since this isnt' a back-to-back Harpring should play and he helps their depth.
On Washington's side there's only so many times you can give yourself the we-have-to-look-in-the-mirror speech before you just give up. I've been there. You know you're gonna get fired months before they fire you so you come in but you don't show up. The Wizards might be at that point. Jarad Jeffries was out last, and if he doesn't play again that would be a plus as he is the team's best defender.
I used +125 because it's available at Olympic, but it looks like this line might move toward Washington and I would hold out for a little better.
YTD +2.50
1/7 Minnesota +240 L -1.0
1/6 Atlanta +285 W +2.85
1/5 Houston +275 W +2.75
ΒΌ Orlando +800 L -1.0
1/3 Portland +2.5, 4Q L -1.1
