NBA Regular Season 3-20-10


76ers vs Bulls (Slo's pick: Bulls)
The Bulls are currently riding their worst losing streak since November, 2001. With Joakim Noah, Luol Deng, and Derrick Rose all out of the line up they haven't even stood a chance. Tonight there's a chance Rose will play and the Bulls are likely going to test Noah's foot but only for a few minutes. Even if Rose doesn't play I still think the Bulls are going to escape with a win tonight in Philly.

Mavericks vs Celtics (Slo's pick: Celtics)
The Celtics seem to have turned a corner as they are playing very well right now. Tonight is a great test to see if they're ready to be a championship contender once again. To win it all, they're going to need to beat great teams on the road.

Heat vs Bobcats (Slo's pick: Heat)
The Heat and Bobcats are both playoff bound, this game is all about positioning. I'm taking the Heat because they're home and I don't like to bet against guys like Dwyane Wade whenever possible.

Nets vs Raptors (Slo's pick: Raptors)
The Raptors have been ice cold and as a result they have dropped significantly in the playoff seedings. Tonight should be an easy way to regroup.

Grizzlies vs Warriors (Slo's pick: Grizzlies)
The Grizzlies are in the fight for the playoffs. I'll be surprised if they blow a game to a team like the Warriors.

Nuggets vs Bucks (Slo's pick: Nuggets)
The Nuggets have been smoking hot since acquiring John Salmons. That being said, they are still nowhere near good enough to beat the Nuggets consistently. They could luck out a win tonight, but against the Nuggets they'll lose 8 out of 10 times.

Jazz vs Hornets (Slo's pick: Jazz)
Deron Williams is the best point guard in the league. He's going to take his Jazz and do some damage with them in the playoffs.


Slo's record on the season: 538-267
Slo's record March 17th: 7-4
