2 units.....washington (+2.5)
2 units.....cleveland (+6.5)

normally dont post on the nba forum, as im much more of an ncaa player, but feel like these are two good nba plays for tonight.

wiz catch new jersey in a poor spot for the nets. coming off a huge game last night which matched 2 of the easts best team (nets/pacers) and the nets needed a good 2h push to get the cover and SU win. now they travel 24 hours later to play a rested wiz team. would be surprised if washington didnt win this game

cleveland has been brutal lately, even failing to win SU vs the terri-bulls at gund arena the other night. but i kinda had a feeling that might happen- because all signs pointed to the cavs peeking ahead to this game. at 10-44, the cavs should never be in a "lookahead spot" because for christsake, theyre the worst team in the league, but all the attention was being paid to philly and iverson coming into the gund friday night for the rematch of wagner/iverson going at it. the last time these 2 met, it was a phenomenal battle with iverson and wagner scoring at will, and the cavs jumping out early, then blowing the lead, then almost rallying for the win. cavs should take this one to the wire. doesnt hurt that the sixers are in off a pasting of the bulls and will likely be taking this game for granted. all media questions have been toward wagner and his rematch with his idol (iverson). should be an entertaining battle.

also was close to playing houston, but passed. id like to think the rockets have enough sack and pride to avenge that pathetic 2h collapse vs the mavs at home a few weeks ago. dont recall the exact numbers but believe they turned a 10 pt halftime lead into a 25 or 30 point loss. dont like the rockets coming off a road swing though, thats the only thing that made me pass on em. but am still tempted
