I'm thinking the head to head matchups favor Atlanta. Williams and Horford will have better nights tonight simply because they are better players than there opponets tonight.
| Zydrunas Ilgauskas | Latest News: Zydrunas Ilgauskas (ankle) has been ruled out of Saturday's game, though coach Mike Brown said he could have played if necessary. The Cavs play three times next week, so even one DNP would jeopardize Z's value in weekly leagues. Anderson Varejao played well in his first start and the Cavs stellar record gives them some breathing room, so don't expect them to rush Ilgauskas back. | ||||||
| Daniel Gibson | |||||||
| Latest News: Daniel Gibson (sprained toe) is expected to miss at least two weeks. The plan is for Gibson to be reevaluated after two weeks, and given how troublesome toe injuries can be, it's likely that he'll be out longer than the two-week timetable. He had been coming on of late, averaging 13.8 ppg in four December games. For those in deep leagues, Wally Szczerbiak is worth a look -- he scored a season-high 16 points in 26 minutes on Tuesday. | |||||||
| Eric Snow | |||||||
| Latest News: The Cavaliers are waiting to hear from the league on a disability claim on guard Eric Snow. Snow is retiring and will not play this season (or again) because of chronic problems with his left knee stemming from an injury last year. If the claim is accepted, the team could save more than $10 million when combining insurance coverage and luxury tax savings. | |||||||
Maybe because Atlanta is strong at home?

Now off to the CHRISTmas party.....
GL with your bet I dont agree and see no logic in betting against a team who is beating teams by an average of 20 points per game. Besides that Atlanta after getting off to a fast start has fizzled this last month. Have become an average .500 team.
