NBA Regular Season 12-16-09


Hawks vs Grizzlies (Slo's pick: Hawks)
At home, there is no excuse for the Hawks to lose this game.

Pacers vs Bobcats (Slo's pick: Pacers)
Playing on the road for the second half of back to back games is always a challenge. The Bobcats are going to fall just short of victory tonight in Indiana against the Pacers.

Magic vs Raptors (Slo's pick: Magic)
After being embarrassed last night in Miami the Raptors are headed for another blowout loss. Not only are they playing back to back road games but they have to play the defending Eastern Conference champion Magic.

76ers vs Cavaliers (Slo's pick: Cavaliers)
For the Cavs to keep pace with the Celtics they're going to have to win games like these. They will win dominantly tonight in Philadelphia.

Nets vs Jazz (Slo's pick: Jazz)
A close game is highly unlikely, the Jazz will win easily.

Hornets vs Pistons (Slo's pick: Hornets)
The Pistons are playing the second half of back to back road games. If they play lazily Chris Paul will tear them apart.

Bucks vs Lakers (Slo's pick: Lakers)
Until the Lakers cool down they will be picked every time.

T'Wolves vs Clippers (Slo's pick: T'Wolves)
The T'Wolves create several mismatches tonight. First, the Clippers have nobody to guard Jonny Flynn, and second, Al Jefferson will score at will tonight with his power post play.

Thunder vs Mavericks (Slo's pick: Mavericks)
The Mavs will win this game if they can at least slow down the scoring machine that is Kevin Durant. Of course, that's a lot easier said than done.

Nuggets vs Rockets (Slo's pick: Nuggets)
The Nuggets will win in a major blowout tonight in Denver.

Warriors vs Spurs (Slo's pick: Spurs)
Although the Spurs are playing the second half of back to back road games they are still the much better team. If they are still a legitimate contender they need to win these games.

Kings vs Wizards (Slo's pick: Kings)
The Kings play better as a unit, they will win tonight at home in Sacramento.

Slo's record on the season: 222-112
Slo's record last night: 7-0
