NBA Tips and Trends
Philadelphia 76ers at Washington Wizards
76ers: The 76ers have already clinched a spot in the playoffs and are now trying to win as many games as possible to get the best seed they can. They're aware that finishing fifth or sixth would allow them to face the Cavaliers or Magic and avoid the Pistons or Celtics. Philadelphia is 10-2 ATS in its last 12 road games overall and put up 109 points in their recent road contest in Atlanta. The Sixers have defeated Washington in back-to-back meetings but only by a combined 6 points.
76ers are 24-9-1 ATS in their last 34 games overall.
Key Injuries - NONE
Wizards (-4, O/U 197): The Wizards are just beginning to make their presence felt in the East, with Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison and Gilbert Arenas all finally playing together. Washington showcased what it is made of on Wednesday night against the Celtics and has covered the point spread in 4 out of the last 6 meetings with Philly.
The OVER is 9-1 in Washington's last 10 home games.
Key Injuries - NONE
Denver Nuggets at Utah Jazz
Nuggets: The Nuggets will try to strengthen their hold on a playoff berth as they play their final road game of the season. Denver got 33 points from Allen Iverson and 25 from Carmelo Anthony in defeating Golden State on Thursday 114-105 to move a game ahead of the Warriors for eighth place in the West. Nuggets head coach George Karl said: "We get to enjoy this victory for a day." Karl is well aware that his team has lost 20 of 23 at Utah since 1996.
Nuggets are 2-8 ATS in the last 10 meetings.
Key Injuries - NONE
Jazz (-6.5, O/U 226.5): The Jazz are looking to bounce back after a 97-94 loss to Dallas on Thursday as they return home to the EnergySolutions Arena, where they have lost just once in their last 26 contests. As a division winner, Utah can finish no worse than the No. 4 seed in the West and appears unlikely to move up, yet the starters have continued to log minutes. The Jazz defeated the Nuggets 132-105 in the lone meeting at Salt Lake this season.
Favorite is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings.
Key Injuries - NONE
New Orleans Hornets at Sacramento Kings
Hornets: The Hornets are clinging to the No. 1 seed in the West and are not sneaking up on anyone anymore, but they are also in the middle of a very tough stretch to close out the season: Lakers last night, Kings tonight and Mavs Wednesday night. Chris Paul has been quoted as saying: "We are up to the challenge." They allowed this Sacramento team to drop 112 points on them last time at Arco Arena in a 9-point defeat.
Favorite is 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings.
Key Injuries - NONE
Kings (NA): The Kings have quickly gone from spoilers to spoiled. After beating Houston and Denver this month to stymie the respective playoff positioning of those teams, the Kings fell to Golden State on Tuesday after losing to the Lakers on Sunday. Small forward Ron Artest is battling a sprained left thumb while center Brad Miller will not return due to a leg injury. Sacramento?s defense has simply been non-existent lately and allowed 140 points in its Tuesday loss at Golden State. The Kings have covered the point spread just 3 times over the last 2+ years in this matchup with New Orleans.
Home team is 13-3-1 ATS in the last 17 meetings.
Key Injuries - C Brad Miller (13 ppg; leg) is OUT.
F Ron Artest (21 ppg; thumb) is questionable
