Hawks vs Magic (Slo's pick: Hawks)
Although the Hawks have the better record the Magic are still the better team. The reason why I'm taking the Hawks is because the Magic are playing the second half of back to back games on the road. The Hawks should look to run on the Magic and if they can get into their transition game they will win.
Jazz vs Bulls (Slo's pick: Bulls)
The Bulls will win in Utah tonight on the back of Derrick Rose. For the Bulls the equation is simple. Derrick Rose being aggressive offensively equals a win, John Salmons taking the majority of the shots equals a loss. Rose needs to ignore the offense and just take over at certain points. It's more than obvious that he's capable of doing so but he's just too unselfish. I have a feeling that Rose will have a good night tonight. Since I've proclaimed his as being "back" he is averaging 20.6 PPG.
Slo's record on the season: 143-73
Slo's record last night: 9-3
