NBA Regular Season 3-22-10


Bulls vs Houston (Slo's pick: Bulls)
With all star point guard Derrick Rose back in the lineup and with Joakim Noah's return to regular minutes on the horizon I see the Bulls making a push for the 8th seed. The Knicks just played last night in New York, playing back to back road games is never easy and the Bulls should keep them running as much as possible.

Jazz vs Celtics (Slo's pick: Celtics)
I'm making the statement, the Celtics have turned the corner and are gearing up for a strong run to the title. This is another huge test for this veteran team.

76ers vs Magic (Slo's pick: Magic)
The Magic could win this game without Dwight Howard and Vince Carter. Luckily they won't have to so expect a big blowout tonight in Philly.

Nets vs Heat (Slo's pick: Heat)
The scheduling gods blessed the Heat with this game late in the season in the midst of battling for playoff positioning.

Hornets vs Mavericks (Slo's pick: Mavericks)
The Mavs are coming off a tough home loss to the Celtics, I expect them to bounce back tonight with a win over the Hornets. In other news, superstar Chris Paul is getting better from his knee injury as he is now permitted to practice on a limited basis.

Bucks vs Hawks (Slo's pick: Hawks)
The Bucks are smoking hot and the Hawks won in overtime just last night against the Spurs. All signs point to the Bucks for this game but for some reason I still think the Hawks are going to win. Plus, this could be a preview of a first round playoff series.

T'Wolves vs Raptors (Slo's pick: Raptors)
The T'Wolves must be really looking forward to the draft lottery.

Thunder vs Spurs (Slo's pick: Thunder)
Kevin Durant is coming off a miserable shooting game, that won't happen again tonight. The Spurs lost in overtime last night in Atlanta. And the Thunder are far more athletic than the Spurs. There's absolutely no logic behind taking the Spurs tonight.

Kings vs Grizzlies (Slo's pick: Grizzlies)
The Grizzlies need to take advantage of every easy win they can get.

Warriors vs Suns (Slo's pick: Suns)
The Suns will win in a very high scoring blowout.


Slo's record on the season: 548-268
Slo's record last night: 4-0
