The Picksix: Lakers to get back on track?

WASHINGTON (-6.5) over Milwaukee -- The Bucks' short-lived hot streak (if one can really even call it that) appears to be over.

Seattle over INDIANA (-9.5) -- With three wins in twelve games, the Pacers don't strike us as a team with which we're looking to give a bunch.

MINNESOTA over Portland (-2.5) -- The Wolves closed a West Coast road trip with consecutive wins, and the Blazers play the tail end of a back-to-back the night after blowing a double-digit lead in Cleveland.

Utah (-3.5) over CHICAGO -- The Jazz are really a lot better than the Bulls.

PHOENIX (-16.5) over Memphis -- One win over the Nets hasn't convinced us that the Grizz can hang with anyone on a regular basis. Their recent loss margins (see: another 30-pointer to the Celts) back that up.

LA LAKERS (-12.5) over Toronto -- Losing on two last-second free throws from Beno Udrih on Sunday can't have made Kobe and Pau too happy.

Last night: 5-2
Season: 487-458
