NBA Tonight: 20 Words or Less

Here is tonight's NBA schedule; each game has a quick "what to watch for" note in 20 words or less, followed by MY predicted spread/winner. Enjoy!
*all times Mountain Standard Time*

Detroit @ Cleveland 5:00 PM: Cavs haven't won since 1981, and Detroit cannot score (26th in NBA). Sadly, neither can Cleveland (27th in NBA)
Cleveland +3

Charlotte @ Indiana 5:oo PM: Indiana trying for 5th win in 6 games since firing head coach Jim O'Brien.
Indiana +9

New Orleans
@ New Jersey 5:00 PM: Hornets on 3 game losing streak, but New Jersey is a free falling mess.
New Orleans +12

Orlando
@ Philadelphia 5:00 PM: The two games played earlier in the year were split, with an average scoring difference of only 0.5 points.
Orlando +2

Milwaukee
@ Washington 5:00 PM: The Bucks will likely limp to the playoffs just above .500, while the Wizards are lottery bound.
Milwaukee +4

San Antonio
@ Toronto 7:00 PM: Spurs are 3rd in NBA in FG%. Raptors are last in NBA in opponents' FG%.
San Antonio +18

LA Clippers
@ New York 7:30 PM: Interesting that both teams are in the top ten of NBA for technical fouls this season.
New York +5

Chicago
@ Utah 7:00 PM: Boozer returns to Utah for the first time, which distracts from Bulls' great record. Utah in trouble tonight.
Chicago +6

Dallas
@ Sacramento 8:00 PM: Dallas going for 10th straight win; had 12 straight earlier in year.
Dallas +11

Denver
@ Golden State 8:30 PM: Nuggets last four games: Win, Loss, Win, Loss. Warriors last four: 3-1
Golden State +6
