This one’s pretty simple. Gilbert Arenas, Washington’s top scorer, is done for the season (knee). Caron Butler, the team’s third highest scorer is also out. When Washington wins, something they haven’t done much lately, they score 105 points or more. Only two teams in the NBA give up more points than Washington so triple digit scoring is crucial for them. That type of offensive output is unlikely against a Cleveland team that gives up an average of only 93.4 ppg (3rd best in the league). Without Arenas and Butler Cleveland should dominate. Take the Cavs.
