Bulls vs Warriors (Slo's pick: Bulls)
Right now the Bulls are desperate for a win. If the Warriors are contained early on they will never get comfortable and as a result will never get their offense going. If the Bulls win the first quarter they will win the game.
Heat vs Mavericks (Slo's pick: Heat)
If the Heat can keep it close all the way up until the 5 minute mark of the fourth quarter they'll win. Dwyane Wade is the best closer in the game today and if given the chance he will show that tonight.
Hornets vs Knicks (Slo's pick: Hornets)
The Hornets are starting to play the way I thought they would last summer. If they can keep up their solid defense they will win tonight at home.
Cavaliers vs Trailblazers (Slo's pick: Cavaliers)
The Blazers are stumbling rite now and tonight the Cavs are going to knock them down. I thought the Blazers were not going to be greatly affected by Greg Oden's absence but clearly I was wrong. The Cavs will win big tonight at home.
Grizzlies vs Thunder (Slo's pick: Thunder)
The Grizzlies don't have the defensive stopper in place to contain Kevin Durant. Expect the Thunder to win big tonight in Memphis.
Spurs vs Bobcats (Slo's pick: Spurs)
The Spurs are really starting to show their age. A loss to the Bobcats tonight would be a red flag that their run in the West is starting to come to a close. If they're dropping home games against sub .500 teams, they are no longer a serious title contender.
Lakers vs T'Wolves (Slo's pick: Lakers)
The T'Wolves keeping it somewhat respectable tonight would be a shocker.
Suns vs Magic (Slo's pick: Magic)
The Suns were my original choice in this game but after comparing the rosters the Magic are the obvious choice. The Magic's defense is good enough to at least slow down the Suns' offense. But the Suns' defense is going to have a nightmare containing the Magic's many offensive weapons. In the end, I see the Magic pulling out a win tonight in Phoenix.
Slo's record on the season: 199-105
Slo's record last night: 0-1
