UTAH [-6.5] over New Orleans
Big match-up of the ‘05 draft point guards. They’ll both be motivated. If Deron Williams can contain Chris Paul just a little bit, the Hornets will suffer big time. Carlos Boozer will roll without Tyson Chandler in the lineup and some of the best fans in the league will recognize the importance of this meeting.

MEMPHIS [-6] over Seattle
Memphis is coming off 5 games where they’ve played tough teams pretty well, similar to our LA pick last night. If you wanna get better, play good teams. Seattle is ready to go home. This is their last game of a 5 game trip, they’re young, and they’ve already had a big win on the trek ’cause of Durant’s game winner. And, Skeets and I both loved this game right away. That could be good, or disastrous. Jump on the train!
