Opening Line: Wizards - 3.5 , Total 194
The Washington Wizards are expected to get some great news on Thursday as Caron Butler is expected to return to the starting lineup. “I feel good," said Butler, "I went through a full practice again and I felt good. After today’s practice, I went in the back and got a little treatment and I still feel good. If I wake up tomorrow and feel the same way, I’ll definitely be on the court.” SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Cavaliers on the Road.
Butler has missed the last 15 games due to a torn labrum in his left hip. He has looked great in practice and is expected to be back in the starting lineup on Thursday against Cleveland. “He looked great today," said Head Coach Eddie Jordan, "He had a lot of burst, speed, explosion, great passing, and he was running up and down the floor. He looked really, really good today.” The Wizards have finally started to play well again after struggling mightily without Butler. "It would be tremendous for us to have Caron back tomorrow," said DeShawn Stevenson. "To get his 21 points per game back, it really takes a lot of pressure off of the rest of the guys."
