You may get your wish. Teague is a game time decision.

I just think Butler baits Okogie (and the refs) into a bunch of fouls. The rook doesn't have a chance on Philly's home floor against Butler.
Man, I've been looking forward to this one and will be watching. But I'm not very optimistic. Maybe if we had Covington this would be a good battle, but he'll be out along with maybe Teague. Remember the way Butler played with the third teamers in the pre-season scrimmage? I'm afraid we see that Jimmy tonight. KAT will have something to prove and will try to match his intensity, but Embiid is a tough matchup for him. I would love to see a win here, but I'm afraid the oddsmakers have this about right at Philly - 6 1/2.

So...LST is expecting Butler to only take one shot. :)
I'm thinking everyone on the wolves roster well be pumped up for this one, Should be a good game, Unless Corey Brewer plays then philly might win by 15 lol.
If the Wolves don't treat this game like their Finals game 7 for the year then I don't know what would ever motivate them.
Let's show some guts tonite boys!
