Philly needed the break more than anyone and they showed it last night when they dominated a Pistons team that was playing a lot better before the break. The Thunder were on fire before the break but now they go on the road to play one of the tougher defenses in the league. 76ers have lost the last 2 match ups by 11 points total, but this time I think they have a better opportunity to win as they have much to prove. Thunder simply turn the ball over far too much to be favored this much I expect this line to drop back down to 3 before the game starts, because 76ers just don't turn the ball over they play sound defense and won't get blown out at home as under dogs.
Jazz losers of 4 straight and the Rockets winners of 4 straight. Both on 0 days rest and I give the home team a huge advantage. The Rockets have been out rebounded in 7 straight games and its bound to happen again tonight in Utah with Al Jefferson and Josh Howard to grab enough rebounds and second chance opportunities to give them the win. They got revenge here just 11 days after they allowed Houston to shoot over 50%. Houston came out last night in Toronto and really struggled. I see that carrying over and the Jazz will buckle down considering they know they have lost to this team a lot of late. Houston is over achieving right now and their road trip they are starting will prove it.
