Minnesota at Washington
The Wizards had players only meeting, in the next game they had a strong performance offensive output, but yet lost to NYK still.
Building a winning team is not an easy task, it takes combination of pieces from free agency to good GM, from strong core of vet players to players whom come to play the game, not just showing up for the paycheck. With only 0-7, they are concerned for a worse yet to come. Last year, Cleveland Cavaliers had lost 24 games in a row. So I wouldnt be surprised that the Wizards will go 0-15 before a win.
We should see another double-double from Kevin Love, and it's a good thing that Beasley is out, as the gem of rookies; Derrick Williams will put some clinic in this game. Ridnour/Rubio = 15 pts & 12 assist will be enough for a good win Minnesota.

Take Minnesota -2.5 (2 units)

Orlando at Sacramento
Orlando will find it tough to win at Sacramento with current back court, but Howard should have another dominant game as a 80% Chuck Hayes/Hickson & Cousins won't be enough in the post. It's either Orlando win by 5 or Sacramento'sparameter game can pull an upset at home. IMO the best play is Sacramento +6.5

San Antonio at Oklahoma City
B2b games for two contenders but the edge will go to OKC for playing at home and they have a prime scorer in KD.
Perkins is probably out, but Nazr Mohammed/Serge Ibaka should cover the front-line against aging Duncan. The Spurs has yet to win on road this season. They had both lost to a fresh leg teams with young players at home by
avg 14 pts ppg. OKC to win by 4.

Cleveland at Portland
Embarrass lost at Phx sun, but back at home Portland should bounce back from a poor shooting performance .
But one has to notice that Cleveland have played well on road recently.

Minnesota at Toronto
A new improve Timberwolves had just shown that they come to play; another two double-doubles between Rubio and Kevin Love. Despite a back-to-back-to-back games, they are in good form to win a back to back on road. Play defense is one of their strong key; their opponents allowed just average of 87 ppg with 40.6% FG in last five games.

Minnesota +3.5 (1 unit)

New Orleans at Denver
The Nug is 16 of their last 17 at Pepsi Center (more than half of which with Carmelo) this included a 6 games winning streak carry forward from last season, after that major trade.

The Hornets is injuries plague most likely without guard Eric Gordon (bruised right knee) and forward Trevor Ariza (groin strain), and with Road Record 1-3 and a total 2-6 record, after appeared to be a strong started at season opening.

A quick conclusion here is obvious that Denver will win at home, it's question by how much & in what form ?

analysis:
Denver last 10: covered ATS at home 4-0; included 2 games with a wide spread -11.5 & -12.5;both covered with extra avg 7 points cushion, last one against SAC 110-83 (W) at 1/4/12. Denver shot 60.5% FG while held Sacramento Kings to just 32.3% FG & 2-21 from downtown, important to note that this game was just before they fired Coach Paul Westphal . On average a good game at home for Denver is a shooting 52 to 54 % FG with about avg 105 ppg. They play with high energy with a fast pace transiton, once the confident is up; the jumpshoot and the layup will kick in.

New Orleans could be heading down the same path of Cleveland cavaliers after lebron james had left, despite had a good
returned trade for Chris Paul. The major issue for them now is chemistry/rhythm out of sync with injuries affected players rotation. This is where more minutes will go to their last reserve Greivis Vasquez, and Al-Farouq Aminu whom should clock some points on the board.

Take Denver -12.5 (1 unit)

Like it or not, Denver will push enough high scoring that should drag New Orleans along for a ride.

LA Clippers at Portland
Apart from a revenge factor, Portland is playing against the Clippers; one of the west's top quality teams right now, this will be a playoff atmosphere, Portland's bench should rise for the occasion. Interesting matchup at forwards between LaMarcus Aldridge and Blake Griffin.
Portland (-5.5) (1 unit)

Cleveland at Utah
The Jazz is riding on a tsunami of confident right now with 5-0 at home.
Take Utah (-5.5) (1 unit)

Toronto at Washington
Big trouble to come with Washington, apart from a plain bad basketball they had yet to win one game, finger are pointing for excuses, Flip Saunders is having a hard time controlling his team, he too could be the 2nd sacking coach in this coming month.
Toronto (+1.5) (1 unit)

San Antonio at Milwaukee
These are two top notch defensive teams; Bogut is schedule to returned for this game the Bucks is desperate to win one, and it will be a physical game for a full 48 minutes flat-out.
