In last game point guard Brevin Knight started the game but could not play in the second half because of lower back spasms. Charlotte led the Raptors at the half by 12 points, but did not hit a field goal in the final four minutes and 19 seconds and were outscored 11-1 over that time.
If Knight cannot play today, the list of players out of action for the Bobcats are Emeka Okafor, Kareem Rush, Jake Voskuhl and Melvin Ely.
Friday's game is the start of three games in four days for the Bobcats.
Cats play with heart, these guys have been playing banged up and players are hungry for court time and if it wasn't for the embarrassing loss by the Bucks to the Pacers I might have stayed off the ATS.
The Bucks lost that game on 56% shooting & 23 for 33 FTA by Indy.
I like the Bucks front court match up and I expect Bucks to close the gap on Bobcat shooters.

MIL has yet to reach 100 points in 2006.
CHA has done it once in regulation in 2006.
Bucks -3.5 -114 for 2 units(L)
MIL/CHA Under 195 -123 for 3 units(L)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Will Calvin Booth and Michael Ruffin once again start in place of Jamison and Haywood? Head Coach Eddie Jordan says that will be a game time decision.
Looking at this match up, WAS/IND Total 195.5~196 (opened 193), Booth and Ruffin will give defensive tone to this game. Wizards scoring output has been on the decline since the start of this year. The team is adjusting towards defense and the number has not caught up to them. Yes, they scored 103 - 72 win against the Hawks, but with 60 points in the paint. Can they do that against Indy? Wizards have gone Under 4 out of last 5 games.
Pacers held Bucks to 88 points in their last win. So far in Jan. Pacers have played 3 games out of 6 holding opponents in 80's taking the win. 96 points twice and allowed 106 in loss to Denver, Nugs were very sharp at home that night.
Looks like the books are going to let this number run Over.
I'll be watching to hit the Under.

I'll take a position.
