Lakers and Philly in a “Lottery” Bowl; Blazers and Pacers Clash
Los Angeles Lakers at Philadelphia 76ers (7:00 pm EST); over/under 219 ; SIxers -3.5. INJURIES: LAL: where do I start – Steve Blake (Q), Xavier Henry (D), Jordan Farmar, Pau Gasol, Jodie Meeks, Nick Young, Kobe Bryant (all OUT) ; PHI: none.
The Sixers are healthy and the Lakers are not. Neither team “likes” to play defense but that doesn’t automatically mean a high-scoring game. Steve Nash/LAL and Steve Blake/LAL have looked good since returning, so the Lakers may surprise on the upside.
Portland Trail Blazers at Indiana Pacers (7:00 pm EST); over/under 197 ; Pacers -5.5. INJURIES: POR: Mo Williams (OUT)none ; IND: Lance Stephenson (OUT), Andrew Bynum (OUT).
Both teams have been top of the charts health wise – until now. Stephenson/IND won’t play, making Paul George/IND, David West/IND and George Hill/IND much better plays.
Cleveland Cavaliers at Washington Wizards (7:00 pm EST); over/under 199.5; Wizards -9.5. INJURIES: CLE: Kyrie Irving (Q); WAS: Al Harrrington (OUT).
There is no telling what effect the shake up in the front office will have on the Cavaliers, but it can’t make them worse. All of the Cavs players are speculative plays, though if Irving/CLE sits whoever starts in his place (likely C.J. Miles/CLE) becomes a terrific bargain play. John Wall/WAS is among the safest bets at guard tonight.
Oklahoma City Thunder at Orlando Magic (7:00 pm EST); over/under 199; Thunder -9.5. INJURIES: OKC: Russell Westbrook (OUT) ; ORL: none.
The Magic have been playing better since regaining full health; I expect a closer game than the line suggests. That means Kevin Durant/OKC is a safe anchor play. Serge Ibaka/OKC is my dark horse for a big game.
Sacramento Kings at Boston Celtics (7:30 pm EST); over/under 200 ; Kings -2. INJURIES: SAC: Marcus Thornton (Q), Derrick WIlliams (Q) ; BOS: Rajon Rondo (D), Avery Bradley (Q).
Jared Sullinger/BOS would be the logical choice coming off a great game, but he may have to handle DeMarcus Cousins/SAC and early fouls could be an issue. Jeff Green/BOS is risky for different reasons, but I think he has enough upside to justify that risk.
Denver Nuggets at New York Knicks (7:30 pm EST); over/under 209 ; Knicks -1.5. INJURIES: DEN: none ; NYK: Kenyon Martin (OUT), Andrea Bargnani (OUT).
Brooklyn Nets * at Detroit Pistons (7:30 pm EST); over/under 203.5; Pistons -1. INJURIES: BKN: Kevin Garnett (OUT) ; DET: Josh Harrellson (Q).
The Nets have a second of back to back games, so Garnett/BKN is resting. I expect Paul Pierce/BKN to take a lesser role and the Nets will be led by Shaun Livingston/BKN and Deron WIlliams/BKN. Andray Blatche /BKN is a good sleeper if he starts.
Utah Jazz at Dallas Mavericks (8:30 pm EST); over/under 205.5; Mavs -9.5. INJURIES: UTA: Derrick Favors (P) ; DAL: none.
Minnesota Timberwolves at New Orleans Pelicans (9:30 pm EST); over/under 197.5; Wolves -1.5. INJURIES: MIN: Kevin Love (P), Corey Brewer(P), Nikola Pekovic (D) ; NOP: Tyreke Evans (Q), Jrue Holiday (OUT), Ryan Anderson (OUT).
A lot depends on whether Love/MIN is fully recovered. If Evans/NOP can’t go, the Pelicans will rely on Anthony Davis/NOP and Eric Gordon/NOP on offense. Without the Wolves big man, Kevin Martin/MIN and Ricky Rubio/MIN will be asked to do much more. It remains an open question which of the bigs will guard Love if the latter plays.
Toronto Raptors at Los Angeles Clippers (10:30 pm EST); over/under 204; Clippers -6. INJURIES: TOR: none ; LAC: J.J. Redick (Q), Chris Paul (OUT)none.
The Clippers suffered a tough loss to the Heat and the Raptors are winding down a long Western swing. I like
DeMar DeRozan/TOR and Blake Griffin/LAC to pile up the stats. Jamal Crawford/LAC is an excellent sleeper play, especially if Redick/LAC is limited.
My Lineup:
The following is my recommended lineup, subject to change, for the $11/$25,000 standard payout GPP at DraftStreet. You are required to have three guards, three forwards, one center and one wildcard/utility player for a legal eight-player lineup in DraftStreet NBA contests:
G-John Wall/WAS- $18,572, F-Blake Griffin/LAC- $18,397, C-Spencer Hawes/PHI- $12,865, G-Jamal Crawford/LAC- $11,793, G-Randy Foye/DEN- $11,724, F-Jeff Green/BOS- $10,162, F-Wes Johnson/LAL- $8,349, G-Tony Wroten/PHI- $7,721.
Others to consider: DeMarcus Cousins/SAC, DeMar DeRozan/TOR, Serge Ibaka/OKC, Michael Carter-WIlliams/PHI, Ricky Rubio/MIN, Nene Hilario/WAS, Jared Sullinger/BOS, Shaun Livingston/BKN, Andray Blatche/BKN>

After you stop taking the diet drops, continue with the 500
calorie diet for 3 days before adopting
a 2000 calorie diet for the next 3 weeks. The HCG diet is everywhere, the media are raving, the celebs are raving and even some doctors
are raving. This is a big benefit over other weight loss diets because the feeling of weakness, ranging from high to very high, is quite often experienced by dieters practicing other weight loss diets.
