The Picksix: Jazz look to keep the good times rolling at home

Detroit (-7.5) over CHARLOTTE -- The 'Cats may be tired after a double-overtime loss in Cleveland. Meanwhile, having seen that Charlotte beat Boston and played Cleveland to the wire over a three-day span, the Pistons won't be taking the Bobcats lightly.

Boston (-6.5) over WASHINGTON -- A 23-9 fourth quarter spearheaded by the efforts of Big Baby Davis and the rest of the Celts' second unit appeared to get the C's back on track last night in Jersey. Should carry into the nation's capital tonight.

Minnesota over SAN ANTONIO (-14.5) -- Too many points. And how much effort could the Wolves have expended in losing by 31 in Houston last night in the first place?

PHOENIX (-11.5) over Milwaukee -- The Bucks come off a tiring loss in Los Angeles last night, while Steve Nash is likely to return for a Suns team that got destroyed in his absence on Thursday.

UTAH (-6.5) over Orlando -- The Magic have considerably cooled since the start of the season, and this road trip has featured poorly played losses in Sacramento and Denver and a not-so-dominant victory over the Clips. The Jazz dominate at home, where they are 14-3 on the season. Should be more of the same for both teams.

Indiana over SACRAMENTO (-4.5) -- Once Kevin Martin returns, we'll consider giving a few points at home every now and then with the Kings. Until then, we'll pass.

Dallas (-8.5) over LA CLIPPERS -- What's to like about the Clips at this point? Yep, not much.

Last night: 9-2
Season: 287-246
