Suns - 3.5
--------
Is ellis playing? not quite sure. What I do know is that shannon brown is going to match up just fine with him, and he will be off the bench early and often. I think the suns honestly have the lineup and the coach to be a playoff team this year. The 66 game schedule does not help the elderly nash and Hill combo, but honestly they have enough good guards to back it up. Dudley is a hell of a shooter and I think today he might get his swagger back, the suns really should beat up on the warriors. I know mark Jack has these guys thinking Defense defense, but honestly they will need some trades and some more toughness down low before that rhetoric is going to really take effect. Suns are rested, should win by 6 .
Detroit +4.5
------
Call me crazy, but I think the pistons match up just fine with the magic. The magic are soft, they play no D and only 2 of 5 starters even think about rebounding the basketball. Magic are an excellent offensive team dont get me wrong, but the pistons might cause them a bit more trouble than over 80% of the people seem to think.
Monroe is a decent center, backed up by the always defensive ben wallace to guard howard. Jerebko's game is similar to anderson's and davis's and also Pistons have Charlie V to play backup 3 and 4. Finally I think the pistons backcourt presents matchup problems for the magic's Jameer (5-9) and Duhon (180lbs soaking wet).
