Wizards vs Bulls (Slo's pick: Bulls)
The Bulls are coming off a brutal loss to the Suns in the closing minute. At this stage in the playoff race, every game is life or death. With their schedule becoming incredibly treacherous after this game I have a hard time seeing the Bulls let this one slip through their fingers. As a side note, don't be surprised to see President Obama sitting court side tonight. As a Bulls fan Obama has been to several Bulls-Wizards games, as well as inviting the Bulls to the White House last year.
Rockets vs Celtics (Slo's pick: Celtics)
At this point in the season it's very difficult to pick games where one of the teams is already in the playoffs and the other team is still battling for a spot. In picking the Celtics, I'm assuming their going to treat this game like any other.
Pacers vs Heat (Slo's pick: Heat)
Now is not the time for the Heat to start losing games and in any way jeopardize their playoff spot. Dwyane Wade and company are going to take care of business tonight in Indiana.
Bobcats vs Bucks (Slo's pick: Bobcats)
The Bucks have cooled down a bit since their scorching start after the trade deadline. Tonight their going into Charlotte to play a very dangerous Bobcats team. It's not that I don't think the Bucks could win, there's just a better chance that the Bobcats are coming out of this with a W.
Cavaliers vs Hawks (Slo's pick: Cavaliers)
This is a statement game for the Cavs. They've been leading the eastern conference virtually all season and heading into the playoffs it's always good to re-assert your dominance.
Pistons vs Suns (Slo's pick: Suns)
The Suns would have to play dreadfully bad for the Pistons to even have a shot tonight.
Grizzlies vs Hornets (Slo's pick: Grizzlies)
The Grizzlies are going to be too much for the Hornets to handle tonight at home. If they keep this an uptempo game then we might even see a blowout.
Spurs vs Magic (Slo's pick: Magic)
The Spurs are very annoyingly inconsistent. They lose to the bad teams and then destroy the Celtics in Boston. It just doesn't make sense. Despite their many big wins this year, I have a hard time seeing the aged Spurs run up and down with the Magic for a full 48 minutes. This game might stay close through 3 quarters, but eventually the Magic are going to pull away.
Warriors vs Knicks (Slo's pick: Knicks)
The Knicks' road record is nothing to write home about but I still think their going to have enough to take down the Warriors. Also, keep your eye on Danilo Gallinari. I've seen him play about a dozen times this season and each time he has been very impressive.
Lakers vs Jazz (Slo's pick: Lakers)
This is a really tough game to pick, the one and only reason why I'm taking the Lakers is because they are home.
Slo's record on the season: 576-291
Slo's record last night: 1-1
