NBA Regular Season 3-3-10


Celtics vs Bobcats (Slo's pick: Celtics)
The Celtics are coming off a very unimpressive win last night in Detroit. This is a huge game for the Bobcats so expect them to come in tonight with a ton of energy. I'm taking the Celtics because despite their struggles and disappointments, they're still the Celtics.

Hawks vs 76ers (Slo's pick: Hawks)
The Hawks' last game was a blowout victory against a shorthanded Bulls team. I don't think this game is going to go much differently.

Magic vs Warriors (Slo's pick: Magic)
The Magic are not only much better than the Warriors but they also present matchup problems all over the floor. The Magic will win in a blowout tonight at home.

Nets vs Cavaliers (Slo's pick: Cavaliers)
The Cavs will win tonight without breaking a sweat. There is no reason to believe the Nets will even stay competitive tonight.

Knicks vs Pistons (Slo's pick: Knicks)
The Pistons just lost last night at home to the Celtics. I have a hard time seeing them put together a good performance tonight in New York not even 24 hours later.

Hornets vs Grizzlies (Slo's pick: Hornets)
These teams have almost identical records. I want to take the Grizzlies but the fact that the Hornets are home gives them the edge.

Bucks vs Wizards (Slo's pick: Bucks)
This game doesn't matter for the Wizards, it matters a lot for the Bucks. That's the main reason why the Bucks will win tonight.

Mavericks vs T'Wolves (Slo's pick: Mavericks)
The Mavs should be home in time for dinner tonight as they make quick work of the T'Wolves.

Rockets vs Kings (Slo's pick: Rockets)
The Rockets have been playing pretty well lately and I don't think that's going to stop tonight against the Kings.

Nuggets vs Thunder (Slo's pick: Nuggets)
The Nuggets' 25-5 home record is what's attracting me in this pick. Part of me wants to take the Thunder but they're playing on the road as the second half of back to back games tonight and that's never a good thing.

Trailblazers vs Pacers (Slo's pick: Trailblazers)
The Blazers matchup well with the Pacers and they're going to enjoy a win tonight at home in the Rose Garden.

Clippers vs Suns (Slo's pick: Suns)
I used to doubt the Suns but after their last few games I have been impressed enough to change my mind.


Slo's record on the season: 490-249
Slo's record last night: 4-0
