T.M. Selection: Washington Wizards.

I like the Washington Wizards to cover the spread against the Utah Jazz in this game on Saturday. The Wizards had lost 3 games in a row and they didn't look that great in their games but they broke out of their funk in their most recent game with a road win. Now they will be at home here and they have played much better on their home court with an 8-3 record there. The Wizards have shocked this year as they came out of the gat and took over the East holding down the 1st place spot for a while. They have slipped down the standings a bit but they still look good on the court and I think that they are going to start another run now after breaking out of their mini slump. The Jazz have looked really good lately winning 6 games in a row but I think that the Wizards have a good chance of ending that run here. The Jazz have been putting up a ton of points on teams in their games but I think the Wizards can put a stop to them with their good defense. The Jazz have played 3 games in a row on the road and this game will be closing out a 4 game road trip for them. They have been playing so well for so long during that time and on the road that I think they are going to be a bit tired here and have a let down game. They have put up 125+ points in 4 of their previous 6 games and I don't think they will be able to sustain that for much longer. I think the Jazz are going to come out flat here and I think this is a game that the Wizards have a chance to even win this game. I like the Wizards to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 101-97 Wizards.
