just fact.
NBA
Wizards-Sixers
Philadelphia
Gilbert Arenas could barely bend over, and even forcing a
half-smile seemed to hurt. The Washington Wizards’ all-star point guard is the
symbol of his team lately in more ways than one. It’s an injury-plagued Wizards
squad that has lost four of its last six games.
(39-37) is so banged up that coach Eddie Jordan gave the Wizards yesterday off
from practice. The Wizards own the fifth Eastern Conference playoff spot, while
the Sixers and Chicago Bulls are 35-41, tied for the eighth and final playoff
berth. In Saturday’s 99-86 loss to the Miami Heat at the
the Wizards were missing two starters, forward Caron Butler (sprained right
thumb) and center Etan Thomas (sprained lower back).
who is averaging a career-best 17.3 points, has missed the last two games and
is listed as day-to-day. Thomas hurt his back during Friday’s 114-101 loss at
and is not expected to play tonight. Guard Antonio Daniels played Saturday
despite having a sprained left wrist. And there is Arenas, averaging 29.1
points per game after scoring 30 points against
in 40 minutes. Still, Arenas says he will be ready for the Sixers.
Hawks-Magic
Orlando
try to increase its home winning streak to 10 games at TD Waterhouse Centre.
The Magic haven’t lost at home since the Houston Rockets beat them 89-84 on Feb. 26. They have claimed such contenders as
the Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks and Detroit Pistons. The struggling Hawks
have defeated the Magic twice this season, which has cost
dearly as it attempts to stay in the playoff hunt.
beat Orlando 96-94 on Feb. 3 and 108-107 in overtime March 19 at Philips Arena,
and the Magic beat the Hawks 108-101 on March 26. The Hawks had to travel from
on Sunday.
Knicks-Pacers
NY Times
The Knicks (22-54) have three straight victories for the
first time since early January. They won their 22nd game and are
guaranteed to avoid the worst record in franchise history.
Cavaliers-Hornets
Times Picayune
The Cavaliers (46-30) have won 10 of the past 11 games to
remain in position to enter the playoffs with homecourt advantage as the fourth
seed in the Eastern Conference.
Rockets-Jazz

Their best player, former scoring champion Tracy McGrady,
isn’t with them, his bad back having ended his season a month ago. The Rockets,
mathematically eliminated last week, are simply fulfilling their contractual
obligations now, as best they can. These are games the Jazz are supposed to
win, and so far – if only lately – they have, going 5-0 against their last five
sub-.500 opponents. But the quality of opposition fluctuates crazily this time
of year, and for a young team like the Jazz, that presents problems. The Jazz

About the Rockets: They are 6-12 on the second night of back-to-back
games. They are 6-23 when F Tracy McGrady, who is out
with a back injury, does not play.
Nuggets-Blazers
Daily Camera
The Nuggets are 3-0 against the Trail Blazers this season
and have won six in a row overall against
The Nuggets can clinch their first division title in 18 years with a win. The
Nuggets squeaked past the Golden State Warriors at home on Saturday night. Carmelo Anthony scored a game-high 28 points in the 95-92
victory. Kenyon Martin and Eduardo Najera did not
play because of injuries. Najera may not return until
the playoffs because of foot injury suffered last week against the Lakers.
Martin’s status is less clear, but he may rest his sore knee the remainder of
the regular season as well.
Mavericks-Clippers
Star-Telegram
For the Mavs coasting into the
playoffs isn’t an option. Not with five games left. Not after last season. If
the surging Mavs (58-19) and talent-rich Clippers
(44-32) keep their current positions as the fourth and fifth seeds in the
Western Conference, a first-round matchup would follow.
