Chicago Bulls at New York Knicks
winner=Knicks
Why=New York has been playing well of late due to the firing of Head Coach Mike D'Antoni and even though today will be the return of Derrick Rose I feel like the Knicks has something to prove on the national stage, which always seems to bring the best out of the World's Largest media markets team.
Philadelphia 76ers at Boston Celtics
Winner=76ers
Why=Philadelphia started the year off hot and their recent sloppy basketball has put them in jeopardy of making the playoffs. Look for them to step it up tonight and realize the magnitude of these last few games leading into the post-season
Cleveland Cavilers at New Jersey Nets
Winner=Nets
Why=New Jersey has won 5 of its last 8 games and are playing their best basketball of the season leaving us to wonder, where would the Nets be if Brook Lopez was healthy all season? I take the Nets continuing to play good basketball and coming out with a W at home.
Utah Jazz at San Antonio Spurs
Winner=Spurs
Why=The Spurs are arguably the best team in the NBA, and between them and the Chicago Bulls they are one of the two deepest teams in the NBA. Look for the Spurs to make their 11 game winning streak 12 at home tonight
Toronto Raptors at Oklahoma City Thunder
Winner=Thunder
Why=The Thunder are on a 3 game losing streak after a few weeks of playing their best basketball of the season. Look for them to break this streak and head into the playoffs on fire.
Houston Rockets at Sacramento Kings
Winner=Rockets
Why=The Rockets have their eyes on the post-season and have played well of late winning 6 of their last 9 including impressive wins over NBA title contenders: Chicago Bulls and LA Lakers. The Kings have been struggling and the dysfunction throughout the team will be at its peak tonight.
Detroit Pistons at Miami Heat
Winner=Heat
Why=Anything can happen on any given day in the NBA, just not today look for the Heat to not only win but win big.
