Thanks hawkeye - always appreciate your insight. The Nugs and Celts have average 223 ppg in their last 3 meetings, and I don't see this one going under the set total, exactly for the reasons you mentioned.
Adding two more tonight:
Sixers -3.5
I think Charlotte will have a Suns hangover from their game last night.
Jazz -9
Although the Jazz have been owned by the Cavs recently, I think that changes tonight. With the Cavs on a b-b after an uptempo game, then hitting the high altitude, I think the Jazz get it done. I expect a good defensive effort out of Utah.
From the Salt Lake Tribune today:
Jazz coach Jerry Sloan didn't mention anything about LeBron James, but he voiced his disappointment Tuesday at watching big games out of Tracy McGrady (47 points), Al Harrington (38) and Kobe Bryant (33) pass without a single Jazz player fouling out.
"How long are you going to let people run up to your front door and take over your house?" Sloan said.
The Jazz will take the court tonight at EnergySolutions Arena against Cleveland - James' only visit to Salt Lake City this season - determined not to get ransacked on defense, where they have given up 100-plus points in the last three games.
