A win tonight will pretty much lock down the division for the Nuggets, who now have a chance to get out of the first round of the playoffs now that Iverson is out. Not much else to say here other than one very key stat: Utah is 1-15 on the road against &gt;.500 teams. They team they beat was Philadelphia wayyyyy back in November. They actually lost those 15 games by an average of 12 points. As a rather small dog, I wouldn&#x27;t be too trusting of them at 6,000 feet of elevation where they lost by 20 back in January. Now I wouldn&#x27;t get too greedy, if the Wiz are wizzing to a cover in the early game, I&#x27;d probably be inclined to lay off or reduce units on the Nuggs. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Take Denver minus the points

Good spot for the Wiz as a double digit home underdog against the NBA&#x27;s best. And with the NBA&#x27;s best comes the opposing team&#x27;s best effort. The spread is a little higher than the first time they played Cleveland at home (a game they won) but with the new lottery system they have no reason to desire a last place finish in the NBA. Besides, what better way to temporarily salvage a horror show of a season than to beat the NBA&#x27;s best. The Cavs will certainly bring it b/c they do not yet have home court wrapped up, and that will be key. But the numbers still favor the big dog tonight when you look at Cleveland&#x27;s road performance since Xmas they&#x27;ve played 23 road games and they&#x27;ve won just 2 of those 23 by more than 11 points, and 3 of the 23 by 10 points (even at the Clips and Kings) which is tonight&#x27;s spread. Anyone that&#x27;s played basketball and been in last place will tell you that if you can beat a good team at the end of the season (especially at home), well, it just feels good and takes some of the pain away. Given that the Wizards are surely completely embarrassed at their 17 win season effort, a nice performance and attempt at a win tonight will make them feel better.....for a little bit anyway. Besides, double digit home dogs in the NBA, from what I can remember, are never a long term losing prop. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Take Washington plus the points
