New Jersey at Detroit
The Nets will be at Detroit without D. Will as the point guard will need to rest his sore wrist. In their remaining games, it's just a formality for them to show up, but it either to improve lottery odd or David stern knocks on their door. Either ways, Detriot is tough to beat at home with Rip and Prince is still in the line up, a better bench than Jersey. A good match up is between Greg Monroe and Lopez in the middle.

Nets' Road Record 5-33 vs Home Record 19-19.

Point Guard Will Bynum Rodney Stuckey Tracy McGrady
Shooting Guard Richard Hamilton Ben Gordon

Jazz at Spurs
The Spurs went cold for 6 games just like that & now 3 winning streak, will go for 4 when the Jazz is in town. Coming to this game the spurs had 2 days rest & had held the improved Kings to 40% shooting in their last game. Playing defense is their focus right now and put a finishing touch for the playoff preparation. Their second unit will get the minutes but they just as effective at both offensive and defensive ends.

Despite won at LA, the Jazz have always played their best basketball but team injuries does affect their true potential, but all they can do is tried to keep the damage to minimal in this game, as they will expect a tough game on the spurs home court.

Loss twice to OKC can't really make George Karl losing his sleep, the veteran coach knows his team is deep enough to win.

For now crushing a lowly timberwolves at home shouldn't be too difficult given their star player is sitting out to injuries.
