I can’t believe Utah
against San Antonio
is the passed over, third game for this evening. Two marquee teams featuring
some bankable players? Can’t possibly pick it, though. Not with both teams
playing last night. Not with all those injuries.

And the Suns against the Hornets usually would warm us over,
but with Chris Paul (notes) (two words) on the shelf, this could be something nasty.
Then again, with the way the Suns can come and go defensively, New Orleans could make a game out of it.

Still, Chicago and Los Angeles. The Lakers
could welcome back Pau Gasol (notes) tonight, while the Bulls might finally welcome the
struggling Derrick Rose (notes) back to the status he enjoyed as a rookie last season.
Any bit of improvement from Rose - and fellow backcourt mates Kirk Hinrich (notes) and
John Salmons (notes) - would help. Especially with Kobe looming.

Comment away down below, watchers.

Los Angeles Lakers: 8-3, 94.4 possessions per game
(ninth-most in the NBA), 105.4 points scored per 100 possessions (16^th),
102.3 points allowed per 100 possessions (10^th).

Chicago Bulls: 6-4,
92.3 possessions per game (16^th), 98 points scored per 100
possessions (27^th), 99.5 points allowed per 100 possessions (4^th).
