<u><font size="3"><font color="#FF0033">MATCHUP BREAKDOWN</font></font></u></div>

<font color="#FF0033">Zydrunas Ilgauskas</font> v <font color="#0066CC">Chris Kaman</font> – Kaman’s 5-9 was no match for Z’s 29-10 on Wednesday. I don’t expect Ilgauskas to win by as much this time around, but I do expect him to be on top.
<font color="#FF0033">Drew Gooden</font> v <font color="#0066CC">Elton Brand</font> – On Wednesday, Brand came up big with 33-13 whilst Gooden was left with 6-8 in 17 minutes. I would not be surprised if Brand is as dominant again, but one thing is pretty certain – Brand will be victorious.
<font color="#FF0033">LeBron James</font> v <font color="#0066CC">Corey Maggette</font> – 28-7-9 compared with 25-3-1 classed as a fairly comfortable night for LeBron. It wasn’t too comfortable, but comfortable enough for me to believe that he will surpass Maggette once more.
<font color="#FF0033">Larry Hughes</font> v <font color="#0066CC">Cuttino Mobley</font> – Hughes came up big with 23-9-5 whilst Mobley hardly showed up with just 7-5-5 in 44 minutes. Because Hughes is in form, I expect him to be on top at the 2-guard come the end of the night.

<font color="#FF0033">Eric Snow</font> v <font color="#0066CC">Sam Cassell</font> – A double-double (24-4-10) for Cassell was in a different league to Snow’s 4-1-2. I hope that Snow puts up more of a fight, but really can’t see that happening. Cassell should win this one pretty easily.
