    (<font color="navy">Gilbert Arenas</font>, <font color="MediumTurquoise">Dan Dickau</font>)[/i]
    <font color="navy">Gilbert Arenas:</font> 24.9 ppg, 5.3 apg, and 4.20 rpg
    <font color="MediumTurquoise">Dan Dickau:</font>12.9 ppg, 4.8 apg, and 2.8 rpg</div>

    <font size="5">Keys to the Game</font>

    <font color="navy">Washington:</font>
    <ul>
    [*]Recover Game- Washington was slaughtered by the Pistons on Saturday night, this is the perfect scenerio for them to pick up an easy win and get back on track.
    [*]Play Hard- This game can both be easily won and lost by the Wizards. The Hornets are a horrible team, but you can't sleep on them because they can turn it on whenever, Washington needs to play hard.
    [*]Support Arenas- Arenas was all alone last game. Jamison had a bad game, no one else bothered to show up, besides Etan...but that didn't help. The Wizards need 2-3 players to show up and help Gilbert in this one.
    [/list]

    <font color="MediumTurquoise">New Orleans:</font>
    <ul>
    [*]Dickau- This kid scored his career high 28 against Orlando last night, he needs to come in here and be the same player. He needs to hit his 3's and get the ball around.
    [*]J.R. Smith- He is the future of the Hornets, he had 20 against the Magic Sunday night and should be able to repeat that performance against Jarvis Hayes.
    [*]Play Strong- Washington might be sleeping on them, if they come out strong and play strong the whole game, New Orleans can leave this one with a W.
    [/list]

    <font size="5"> Prediction</font>
    Washington needs this win. Arenas should be able to DOMINATE Dickau, I wouldn't be suprised to see a 40+ night from Arenas. J.R. Smith is going to have a good game, I take Washington though in a blowout 105-88. <font color="red">HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY</font>
