    Pacers take this one, but without Artest the Wizard guards can have an easier time scoring.

    Pacers by no more than 9

    Wizards need to give the ball to Kwame, otherwise I take the Pacers by 7.

    I can't see the Wiz winning this one.Even though the Pacers don't have Ron Artest I say they still pull off by 7. Pacers by 7.
