Sunday NBA picks

New York Knicks at Atlanta Hawks
Winner=Knicks
Why=I've said this before national stage plus Knicks=win. Miami will have there hands full in the first round.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Los Angeles Lakers
Winner=Lakers
Why= The Lakers will return strong after being wallopped by the Spurs in San Antonio Friday night. Even though the Thunder have a chance to get the season sweep of the Lakers today, look for the Lakers to avoid this misfortune going into the playoffs.

Toronto Raptors at Detriot Pistons
Winner=Pistons
Why=Both teams have been playing terribly of late and in a battle of who has the most young talent, look for the Pistons to come out on top against a shorthanded Toronto ball club.

Houston Rockets at Miami Heat
Winner=Rockets
Why=The Heat are resting their players going into the playoffs and the Rockets need to win out to ensure their spot in the playoffs, Houston badly needs this game.

Sacramento Kings at Charlotte Bobcats
Winner=Kings
Why=Michael Jordan has done a terrible job in the decision making regarding the Bobcats, I can't pick them to beat a WNBA team at this point.

Golden State Warriors at Minnesota Timberwolves
Winner=Timberwolves
Why= Both teams have been playing horrid, with the Warriors losing 9 consecutive ballgames and the Timberwolves snapping an 11 game losing streak with a win over the lowly Detroit Pistons Thursday night.  Look for the Timberwolves to win consecutive games in April for the first time in three years against an injury riddled Golden State squad.

Cleveland Cavaliers at San Antonio Spurs
Winner=Cavs
Why=The Spurs will be resting their players tonight, and even though their roster is deep enough to win while resting their stars, look for a scrappy Cavalier team headed by Rookie of the Year Kyrie Irving to sneak out of San Antonio with a win.

Orlando Magic at Denver Nuggets
Winner=Nuggets
Why=Denver just ensured themselves a Western conference playoff spot in last nights win.  No Dwight Howard=Magic loss

New Orleans Hornets at Los Angeles Clippers
Winner=Clippers
Why=The Hornets are a surprisingly scrappy team bu tin the wake of Chris Paul playing against his former team and the Clippers trying to move up their playoff position expect for them to dominate in this game.
