The Picksix: How will the Warriors respond to the long lay-off?

Miami over PHILADELPHIA (-9.5) -- Whether Shawn Marion will be suited up remains in question, but one would have to imagine that Dwyane Wade is feeling empowered by his newfound healthy help. And since when did expecting the Sixers to win by double-digits become a sound wagering tactic, anyway?

HOUSTON (-5.5) over Cleveland -- The Cavs are banged up, with Drew Gooden, Sasha Pavlovic and Anderson Varejao all likely out tonight. The Rockets have won 8 of 9 and 13 of 16 overall and will look to remain hot.

GOLDEN STATE (-10.5) over Chicago -- Due to a weird scheduling quirk of sorts, tonight's game is the first contest since last Friday for the Warriors. Against a Bulls team playing its third game in four nights out West, the Dubs should have the energy advantage.

Last night: 5-6
Season: 376-346
