Utah +7.5
League: 12-3 (Av. loss 3.3) away 5+ dog, 1 day rest off 10+ ats loss as away 4- dog. [Utah] (2-0 this season)
5-0 (av. loss 0.2) if opp off home ats win.
League: 3-7 (av. win 5.1) home 5+ fav, 2 days rest off 10- ats win as home 4- fav, when opp off ats loss. [NY] (0-2 this season)
0-5 (Av. LOSS 3.4) if opp was last away.
8-13 (Av. win 5.1) on any rest.
2-7-1 (Av. win 0.6) if opp lost away by 10+ ats.
It has been 6 home games since NY won by more than this margin....Including a 5 point win over Phoenix and 6 over the Clippers, both teams worse than Utah. In fact a 20 point win over Seattle is the only time they have beaten a team from the West by more than this number.
utah have owned NY recently, winning their last 5 meetings SU @ NY by an average of 13.8 points! They are 7-2 ats their last 9 games in NY.
Utah are 7-1 on the road when the total is b/w 170-180 this season and 11-3 in the last 3 years!
Hard to see how Utah get blown out here.
Washington +6
The spread has been inflated by Washington's poor performances on the road. But they have not been beaten by more than this number at home by a team from the East since December 30, some 13 (home) games ago.
In fact they beat Indi 107-96 at home in Jan, and have won 3 of 5 SU @ home v. Indi and lost the other 2 games by 4 and 6.
Larry Hughes is out from that game, and he shot 16 points, but Arenas and Stackhouse are back in and will be looking to perform well infront of a Friday night home crowd.
Indi have been out-rebounded badly recently, 38-56 v. New Orleans. Washington were 40-41 @ NO, and winning the boards will go a long way to deciding this game. Definate edge Washington.
League: 17-9-1 (Av. loss 4.3) home 5+ dog off 10+ ats loss as away 5+ dog. [Wash]
