Opening Line: Wizards - 2 , Total 190.5
The Washington Wizards head out on a five game road trip looking to maintain their 5th place position in the Eastern Conference standings. The Wizards are just a game and a half in front of Toronto and Philadelphia in the East. They are coming off a big win at home against Detroit as Antawn Jamison had 24 points and 12 rebounds in Sunday’s 95-83 win. "When we play good teams, we step up," said guard DeShawn Stevenson, "That says a lot. When the playoffs come, we're going to have to play a good team like that." Overall, Washington has won three straight and six of seven. They will need that momentum as they head out on the road. "It's a completely different animal out there," coach Eddie Jordan said, "We've got to put our road hat on."
SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Trailblazers at Home.
The Wizards are playing well since Caron Butler returned from injury. He had 17 points in Sunday’s win. The Wizards were missing Gilbert Arenas who wanted to play but was told by doctors he was not ready. Portland faces a back-to-back situation on Tuesday as they were in Seattle on Monday night. The Blazers are a solid 24-10 at home this season.
