NBA Regular Season 1-23-10


Pacers vs Sixers (Slo's pick: Pacers)
Both teams are coming off wins last night, I'm not taking the Sixers because they're on the road in the second half of back to back games.

Bobcats vs Magic (Slo's pick: Magic)
The Bobcats' six game winning streak came to an end last night in Atlanta. This is a big game for them. Are they going to start up another winning streak, or are they going to wallow in the mire and drift back into mediocrity. I just don't think they're talented enough to keep winning the way they were.

Cavaliers vs Thunder (Slo's pick: Cavaliers)
The Cavs are the best team in the NBA right now, they will win again tonight against the very young and talented Thunder.

Pistons vs Trailblazers (Slo's pick: Pistons)
After losing last night in Boston I have a hard time taking the Blazers. On the other hand, the Pistons are painfully inconsistent. My gut says Pistons so that's who I'm going with.

Heat vs Kings (Slo's pick: Heat)
The Kings are ice cold, this is a great time for the Heat to get a winning streak going heading into the all-star break.

Rockets vs Bulls (Slo's pick: Rockets)
The Bulls are coming off a huge win last night in Phoenix. Derrick Rose was sensational scoring 32 points and throwing down one of the best in-game dunks I've ever seen. As much as I want to, I'm not taking the Bulls tonight in Houston. I just don't think they have enough left in the tank to propel their way to a win tonight.

Bucks vs T'Wolves (Slo's pick: Bucks)
In order to stay in the playoff hunt the Bucks are going to have to take advantage of the games against bad teams. This is one of them.

Nuggets vs Hornets (Slo's pick: Nuggets)
There's no reason to believe the Hornets will win this game tonight in Denver.

Suns vs Warriors (Slo's pick: Suns)
The Suns are going to redeem themselves tonight after a very disappointing loss to the Bulls last night at home.

Jazz vs Nets (Slo's pick: Jazz)
The Jazz are going to win easily tonight at home.


Slo's record on the season: 356-188
Slo's record last night: 8-5
