Bulls vs Trailblazers (Slo's pick: Bulls)
Maybe I'm being naive but it appears to me that the Bulls are just as good if not better than the Blazers. If the Bulls can keep Brandon Roy under wraps they'll win this game easily.
Hawks vs Mavericks (Slo's pick: Hawks)
The Hawks get the pick here for two reasons. The first is because they're home, the second is because winning this game would officially move them ahead of the Celtics in the eastern conference standings. That being the case, the Hawks are going to come out firing on all cylinders with the third seed in their sights.
Wizards vs Knicks (Slo's pick: Knicks)
I love the Knicks' deadline trade for Eddie House, he's a high energy bench player who hits clutch shots like it's second nature. If the Wizards do win this game I will be impressed. I don't know how, but ever since trading Caron Butler, Brandon Haywood, and Antawn Jamison they've been beating quality teams. I don't expect their hot streak to last much longer.
Raptors vs Cavaliers (Slo's pick: Cavaliers)
If the Cavs care at all about having the top record in the league then they should consider themselves lucky with the Lakers' recent loss to the Mavs. Tonight should be an easy win the Cavs.
Thunder vs T'Wolves (Slo's pick: Thunder)
The Thunder will have little trouble dispensing of the T'Wolves. Judging by the fact that the Thunder win virtually every matchup makes this a no brainer.
Grizzlies vs Bobcats (Slo's pick: Grizzlies)
The Grizzlies finally broke the .500 barrier and they're going to keep rising tonight. The Bobcats' 7-22 road record is enough to scare me off against any formidable opponent.
Rockets vs Spurs (Slo's pick: Spurs)
The Spurs are starting to show why they won 4 championships in the last 10 years. I'm not sure if they're as good as they've been playing but I'm definitely not willing to bet against a team that's playing like they are.
Nuggets vs Pistons (Slo's pick: Nuggets)
I wonder if Chauncey Billups feels just a little bit bad every time he embarrasses his old team.
Suns vs Clippers (Slo's pick: Suns)
The Suns have more talent at the PG and PF position than the Clippers have in their entire roster. The Suns will win this game easily tonight in the valley of the sun.
Hornets vs Magic (Slo's pick: Magic)
The Magic should have little trouble going into New Orleans and taking this game from the Hornets.
Kings vs Jazz (Slo's pick: Jazz)
The Jazz are smoking hot right now and they're going to continue to stay hot.
Lakers vs 76ers (Slo's pick: Lakers)
If the Lakers don't win this game I will question everything I know about life.
Slo's record on the season: 469-238
