I’m looking at DeRozan for around 17.5 points via
Since Bargnani is sidelined again for tonight's matchup against the Sixers, DeRozan is officially stepping up as Toronto's primary offensive engine. Honestly, after watching Philadelphia absolutely dismantle the Nets last night, I just don't see how Toronto can avoid a similar blowout, which actually works in our favor here because it means DeRozan should be seeing plenty of action—probably somewhere in the 33 to 35 minute range.🙂

Parker's averaging 18.5 over
Popovich decided to give him a breather last game along with Duncan and Ginobili, so he's coming in totally rested tonight. Honestly, I think he’s going to blow right past that line without breaking a sweat. This is such a massive matchup for San Antonio, and even though the Lakers are going to be playing without Kobe, I don't see this turning into some total blowout. My gut tells me the Spurs will stay competitive enough that Parker should get his usual solid chunk of minutes.😉

Just some thoughts on the middle spread

Looking at the Nets, they're going to be missing both Green and Wallace, and since Philly is fighting tooth and nail for a playoff spot, I don't see them having much trouble covering that line.
On the other hand, Rose is out for Chicago and Deng is dealing with that shooting arm injury, so honestly, I wouldn't trust them to cover the handicap.
