Bulls vs Magic (Slo's pick: Magic)
As of late the Bulls have been playing very well, winning their last three games. Derrick Rose is making big strides into becoming one of the league's major stars and Joakim Noah has proven that he can rebound with the best of them. Despite the fact that the Magic are in Chicago tonight after being in Minnesota last night, they are still headed for a win. The Bulls' only hope of containing Dwight Howard is to get him in foul trouble early. That won't happen though because the Bulls have no big man to challenge Howard and get fouls on him. I'll be delighted to see the Bulls win this game but picking them would be a very stupid decision. There is no logical reason to believe the Bulls will win this game. They might, any team can beat any other team on any given night. But the chance of the Bulls winning to just too slim.
Celtics vs Raptors (Slo's pick: Raptors)
The Celtics are without Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo, and Paul Pierce for this game and therefore they will lose barring a 55 point outburst from Ray Allen.
Nets vs Cavaliers (Slo's pick: Cavaliers)
If the Nets win this game, Jay-Z is going to dance his way to the Cavs' locker room and hand LeBron James his new jersey. No pun intended.
Heat vs Bobcats (Slo's pick: Heat)
The Heat have been struggling lately. A home game against a middle of the pack team is exactly what they need right now. The Heat are going to try and get their season back on track tonight at home against the Bobcats.
Pacers vs T'Wolves (Slo's pick: Pacers)
The one and only reason I'm taking the Pacers is because they're home.
Wizards vs Spurs (Slo's pick: Spurs)
I'll be shocked if Gilbert Arenas is allowed to play tonight because of his latest debacle with a teammate in which both players drew guns on each other over a gambling debt. Without Arenas, there is a very little chance of the Wizards beating the Spurs tonight.
Hornets vs Rockets (Slo's pick: Hornets)
The Rockets played last night and are now in New Orleans to play a team that scores points in bunches. That equation equals a Hornets win.
Bucks vs Thunder (Slo's pick: Thunder)
The Thunder are a much better and deeper team. I'll be surprised to see the Bucks win this game.
Suns vs Grizzlies (Slo's pick: Suns)
The Suns should run the Grizzlies out of Phoenix in this game. The Grizzlies are almost definitely going to be leaving the desert with a loss.
Jazz vs Nuggets (Slo's pick: Jazz)
Both Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups are questionable for this game. Because of that taking the Nuggets making a big gamble. A gamble I'm not willing to make.
Trailblazers vs Warriors (Slo's pick: Trailblazers)
This game is very hard to pick because both teams are aggravatingly inconsistent. I'm taking the Blazers in hopes that Brandon Roy will be enough to carry the Blazers to a win.
Kings vs Mavericks (Slo's pick: Mavericks)
Last night the Kings lost a heartbreaker as Kobe Bryant hit a game winning three as time expired. Games like that can be poison to a team with no veteran presence. I have a hard time seeing the Kings take down the Mavs tonight.
Slo's record on the season: 284-141
Slo's record last night: 2-1
