NBA Regular Season 12-30-09


Cavaliers vs Hawks (Slo's pick: Cavaliers)
The Cavs just beat the Hawks in Atlanta last night. There is no reason they can't do the same tonight at home in Cleveland.

Pacers vs Grizzlies (Slo's pick: Grizzlies)
After losing last night in Chicago I expect the Pacers to lose again tonight, this time to the upstart Grizzlies. The Grizzlies are much more athletic and if they play an uptempo game they'll win.

Magic vs Bucks (Slo's pick: Magic)
At home, the Magic should win this one in a blowout.

Raptors vs Bobcats (Slo's pick: Raptors)
I expect Gerald Wallace and Hedo Turkoglu to pretty much cancel each other out this game. The Raptors will win in a Chris Bosh explosion.

Nets vs Knicks (Slo's pick: Knicks)
Although it could come down the wire, do yourself a favor and don't watch this game. Both teams are terrible and should be cancelled from all national TV schedules.

Hornets vs Heat (Slo's pick: Heat)
I expect the Heat to go into New Orleans tonight and come out with a win. In a game that could go either way you always pick the team with the best player.

T'Wolves vs Jazz (Slo's pick: Jazz)
The Jazz should win this game in a blowout, I doubt it will be close.

Trailblazers vs Clippers (Slo's pick: Trailblazers)
Even without Greg Oden the Blazers are still a huge disappointment. Regardless of all their struggles, there is no reason to believe they won't beat the Clippers at home.

Kings vs 76ers (Slo's pick: Kings)
If Tyreke Evans plays tonight the Kings will win. Right now Evans is fighting an ankle injury but is doubtful for this game according to the Kings' official Twitter page. I'm banking on him playing, therefore I'm taking the Kings.


Slo's record on the season: 272-136
Slo's record on Dec. 27th: 2-4
