Knicks vs Bulls (Slo's pick: Bulls)
This game is going to be decided by the Bulls energy. They are going to be either very energetic and eager to wash away the stain of last night's collapse, or they're going to be dragging their feet on their way to a ninth straight road loss. Given the personalities on the Bulls I have a hard time seeing them not give everything they have tonight.
Celtics vs Pacers (Slo's pick: Celtics)
Larry Bird will be in the new Garden tonight to watch the Celtics methodically dismantle his Pacers.
Wizards vs 76ers (Slo's pick: Wizards)
Both of these teams are so inconsistent that this game is very hard to predict. I'm taking the Wizards in hopes that they can play with some purpose tonight on their home court.
Bobcats vs Pistons (Slo's pick: Bobcats)
With Tayshaun Prince out, and Richard Hamilton and Ben Gordon questionable for tonight's game it makes no sense to take the Pistons tonight on the road.
T'Wolves vs Hawks (Slo's pick: Hawks)
This is a trap game for the Hawks. if they bring at least 70% of their usual energy they should still win.
Grizzlies vs Warriors (Slo's pick: Grizzlies)
The Grizzlies have been playing well as of late, I expect them to win this game with relative ease tonight at home.
Mavericks vs Trailblazers (Slo's pick: Trailblazers)
Mavs' superstar Dirk Nowitzki is still struggling from an elbow injury, he is heavily medicated and his status for tonight's game is questionable. Even if he plays, I doubt he will shoot well after being drugged up for the last few days. If the Blazers take advantage of that and go at him on offense all night they will win.
Rockets vs Clippers (Slo's pick: Rockets)
The Rockets are far more talented than the Clippers, so much that there was no other choice when picking this game.
Lakers vs Thunder (Slo's pick: Lakers)
The Thunder have cooled down since their hot start, despite a big night from Kevin Durant the Thunder will still fall tonight in LA.
Slo's record on the season: 246-125
Slo's record last night: 3-2
