Caron Butler out tonight

Butler Out With Flu

Forward Caron Butler will not play tonight against New Jersey. He's home with the flu. That leaves the Wizards with eight healthy bodies. It's a throwback to last season when the team went a stretch with only eight players because of injuries and then-coach Eddie Jordan ran couple of practices with assistant coaches Mike O'Koren and Phil Hubbard stepping in.

Hey, we know Dave Hopla has a J. Maybe he can suit up. Check back later for a pre-game update.

Wizards 3-0 ATS and 2-1 SU this season w/o Butler.
They beat the Rockets in Houston w/o Caron.

But blatche and juan were at least available.

This is the most banged up and weakest wizards team i have seen in years, tonight.

Bench play especially, is going to get really ugly. they have no depth at all, especially at the guard position. Depending on how this game goes in the 1Q, if they can stay close early, for all you in-game bettors i think nets 2Q is a good bet.
