Boston Celtics are leaving home for a challenge with Charlotte Bobcats after yesterday’s win over Denver Nuggets. The Celtics never went back in the game, thanks to flaws in the Nuggets defense, Paul Pierce and his teammates had a comfortable game at home. On the other side of the court, Charlotte beat Orlando by 10 points two nights ago, when their superb rookie Morrison delivered a 22 points to lead his team. The Bobcats are a fairly good defensive team, and they would like to show this on the court tonight, playing in front of their fans. A close but low scoring game can be expected for this hard match up. Under 195.5 is the pick for 4 units.

Detroit Pistons are looking forward to the New Jersey Nets for tonight’s major match up after they were defeated by Indiana on Wednesday night, when they struggled in defense against the mobile guards of the Pacers. Tonight, the Pistons will probably fight hard to deliver points from the paint of the home team, and Moore should get a nice test against Nazr Mohammed and Rasheed Wallace of the Pistons.  A close game is a must, and the away team is one step ahead. Detroit +1.5 handicap is the pick for 4 units.

Milwaukee are returning home to challenge Minnesota Timberwolves after last nights loss to the Bulls. Extraordinary Milwaukee guard, Michael Redd, is in good condition now, but their teammates in the frontcourt - especially Andrew Bogut - must concentrate better in order to stop their opponents before they penetrate into the Bucks’ lane. On the other side, Minnesota Timberwolves, after losing to San Antonio Spurs three nights ago, are looking forward to stealing a win from Milwaukee. Tonight’s game is going to be a low scoring one mainly due to offensive flaws in the Bucks. Under 191 is the pick for 4 units.

The Indiana Pacers are hosting the New York Knicks tonight for the second home game in a row after a substantial victory over Detroit two nights ago. Facing no difficulties in offense, the Pacers led their way to the Pistons basket and scored 101 points, one of their largest scores of the season so far. On the other side of the court, the Knicks are looking to beat Indiana, but it is not possible for them to keep their opponent below 85 points, which they were able to apply against Atlanta Hawks at home. Indiana seems to be a careful team on the court, and they will probably force Isaah Tomas’ team into black holes, so the Knicks score is not going to be enough for them to win this game. Under 194 is the pick for this game for 5 units.

The Seattle Supersonics are turning their route from Chicago to Cleveland after they lost to the rising Bulls on Wednesday night. Suffering from offensive problems rather than defensive flaws in the lane, Seattle’s chances of winning games are limited. They are successful when they are able to get the ball through hands to the basket, and they should be aware of the fact that Ray Allen is not an alien to carry his team to a win alone. The Cavaliers are in good form now, and they are looking forward to a comfortable win after they ruled out Charlotte in the final minutes of the game. However, they must fight hard tonight and Seattle would like to put them to the test. A close game is expected, so Seattle +8 is the pick for 4 units.

The Philadelphia 76ers are meeting the Dallas Mavericks tonight after an exhaustive loss to Boston two nights ago when they were able to score only 81 points, lacking their biggest superstar Allen Iverson. The Mavericks are on a high from Wednesday night after beating high flying Los Angeles Lakers by 10 points, indicating their dominant gameplay in the home court. Steady performances by Nowitzki, Harris, Terry and Howard, this team knows what they must to do on the court, and they have the ability to finish the game before the last period is about to begin, especially when they challenge soft teams at home. The 76ers are one of them for Dallas, and the Mavs should not force themselves to reach a victory. We’re expecting a high scoring game so Over 187.5 is the pick for 4 Units.

The Orlando Magic are traveling to Charlotte for a match up with the Bobcats after they were defeated by Toronto at home yesterday, when they were able to score only 84 points in 48 minutes. The Magic are struggling despite efforts by Dwight Howard and Carlos Arroyo, but the young guard must step up tonight to lead his team to a win. Charlotte managed to survive against Cleveland by scoring 101 points, led by LeBron James. The Bobcats would like to get a win at home, but they also know they will find it difficult to score against the Magic, who severely need a win to keep their hopes alive for the championship in the Western Conference. Strict gameplay and a close game will result. Under 182 is the pick for 4 units.

The New Orleans Hornets are waiting for the San Antonio Spurs in their second consecutive home game after breaking Cleveland on Monday night by means of the leadership of Chris Paul, one of the most effective backcourt players in the league. Their defensive capability is apparent, trying to stop their opponent from penetrating into their lane because they do have a weakness in the paint if they let players in. On the other side of the court, the Spurs are leaving home after yesterday’s glorious victory against Minnesota. San Antonio are the best team to execute efficient team defense when required. Tonight, a similar scenario can take place, so both teams will probably take serious measures to avoid concededing points. A low scoring game, the pick is Under 180 for 4 Units.

The Houston Rockets are turning their route to Golden State for an interesting match with the Warriors, having lost to Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night with an ordinary Kobe Bryant in Lakers squad. The Rockets were not able to prevent the Lakers’ role players from going deep into the lane since Yao Ming, the Chinese pivot, was busy dealing with the Lakers front court players Kwame Brown and Andrew Bynum. Missing Tracy McGrady means much for this team, and they seem to spend these days with the least damage. However, the city they are traveling to is the home of superb offensive basketball last shown two nights ago against a struggling Sacramento Kings with 126 points in the whole game. Golden State knows when to press the gas pedal, and they are almost unstoppable at home. They are averaging 100+ points and they are eager for a win to gain a high phase in the division after Lakers’ loss last night. The Warriors are going to try their best to win this match. Golden State –4.5 is the pick for 3 Units.

The Miami Heat are hosting the Phoenix Suns tonight after they beat Toronto at home two nights ago, executing fairly good team defense and efficient play by Dwayne Wade in offense. Having conceded only 77 points, the Heat showed the crowd how drastically they can lower conceded points in a game. However, Phoenix are the best scorers in the league at the moment, and their offensive strength may not be affected by the Heat defense despite dominance of Mourning and Haslem in the paint. Phoenix guards Steve Nash and Leandro Barbosa are in form, resulting in an 11 game winning streak for the Suns after a bad start to the season. Tonight, the away team may want to force the game in the defense too, so a hard fight likely. Miami, with the home court advantage, will put up a good fight. Miami +10 is the pick for 4 units.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are changing their route from Chicago to San Antonio for a challenge with the Spurs. Manu Ginobili’s effective return to the Spurs seemed to pick up the whole team, and their confidence is full after good performances by bench players Brant Barry and Bruce Bowen. On the other side of the court, the Timberwolves were raised on the hands of Kevin Garnett, about whom trade rumors were spread widely around the league. With effective leadership of KG, Minnesota spent the last week in good condition, having three wins including one against the Bulls two nights ago. The scoring performance of the team is a lot better now, and they would like to force San Antonio to struggle on the board penetrating into the lane. The Spurs would like to prove how good they are, so a high scoring match can be expected. Over 182.5 is the pick for 4 units.

The Dallas Mavericks are returning home after they were smashed by the Jazz in Salt Lake City two nights ago, scoring only 79 points. Inefficiency of Dallas’ offense was due to careful defensive play by the Jazz, along with outstanding performances by Carlos Boozer and Andrei Kirilenko in the lane. They are challing the Los Angeles Lakers tonight after Kobe led his team to a win against the Rockets despite his ordinary performance, shooting 8/26 from the floor. Kobe Bryant would like to pick up a victory against the Mavs. However, the Mavs are a well organized team now, and they will definitely take measures to stop not only #24 but also Lamar Odom and shooting guards of the visiting team. A high scoring game is expected. Over 195.5 is the pick for 4 units.

The Seattle Supersonics are traveling to Milwaukee to challenge the Bucks after a victory over Golden State at home two nights ago. The Supersonics’ flashing return to high scoring games were mainly due to efforts by Ray Allen, but his teammates executed fairly qualitative offensive work in the game, attacking the Golden State paint at every opportunity. On the other side of the court, Milwaukee would like to get a win over a moderate opponent to keep their chances of qualifying for playoffs alive.  For tonight’s game, total scoring of both teams is not likely to be restricted, so Over 206 is the pick for 4 units.

The Houston Rockets are hosting the Los Angeles Lakers tonight at Toyota Center after they beat the Wizards in a high scoring game. However, the Rockets’ high shooting percentage and effect of Yao Ming in the lane brought about such a result and shocked the Wizards fans expecting their team to return to the capital with a win. The Lakers made their way to a valuable win over San Antonio, when Kobe Bryant returned to the court with 34 points, playing like a leader in the game. The #24’s striking performance is likely to continue tonight, and the Lakers do have considerable chance for a win provided the other role players step up in the defense. Tracy McGrady is waiting for Kobe Bryant, and this challenge may result in a loss for the home team. The pick for 3 units is Los Angeles Lakers +2.

The Golden State Warriors are changing their route from Seattle to Sacramento for a challenge with the Kings, who beat the Hawks at Arco Arena on Sunday night, having an offensive dominance in the game. Mike Bibby and young superstar Kevin Martin, with help from their team mates, picked up a victory against a slipping team. The Warriors, too, scored very well in their last match against Seattle, but that was not enough for them to return home with a win in their pockets. Tonight, the Warriors are expected to try to take more defensive measures to prevent the Kings from sending the ball to their basket with ease. This doesn’t seem likely, so Over 214.5 is the pick for 4 units.

The Phoenix Suns are turning their route from Charlotte to Orlando tonight for a challenge with the Magic, after beating the Bobcats by 30 points, struggling only in the first period of the game. The Suns are one of the best scoring teams in the league, and Amare Stoudamire is getting hotter every day. Not only do Phoenix score, but they are also impressive in defense. Tonight, a great match up is expected when Dwight Howard defends Shawn Marion. Orlando would like to continue their defensive strength over Philadelphia two nights ago, and they are likely to keep the total score of the game under what is expected. Therefore Under 210 is the pick for this game for 4 units.

The New Jersey Nets are hosting the Memphis Grizzlies tonight after a loss to Boston, their biggest rival in the division, two nights ago. The Nets are having scoring difficulties at the moment, with no single player standing out. With a low field goal percentage, New Jersey is not likely to score much tonight against a fairly good team in defense. The Grizzlies were beaten by Los Angeles at home when they failed to score more than 82 points, but not conceding more than 89 points. The biggest drawback of the Grizzlies is apparently the lack of Pau Gasol, the Spanish superstar, and if they close the lane to the Nets, they have a huge advantage. This game looks to have low scoring written all over it, so Under 187 is the pick for 4 units.

The Dallas Mavericks are traveling to Utah to challenge the Jazz tonight after the latter’s unexpected loss to Minnesota in a game Kevin Garnett exploded to lead his team to the win at home, relieving trade speculations about himself. On Friday night, it was clear that the Jazz defense did not show up, with Carlos Boozer struggling against Garnett even with steady performances from Mehmet Okur and Math Harpring. On the other side of the court, the Mavericks had a good game against one of the best scoring teams in the league, not allowing Denver to score more than 90 points. Carmelo Anthony’s slipping form also affected the Nuggets score, but Dallas is on a roll now, with shining Josh Howard. For tonight’s game, it can be expected that the Jazz defense is going to bounce back slightly, but Dirk Nowitzki’s performance is going to determine the flow of the game. Maintaining a steady scoring level, the Mavs have a considerable chance to get a win from Utah. Over 195 is the pick for 4 units, considering the scoring potential of both teams.

The Portland Trail Blazers are traveling to Toronto for a match up with the Raptors after they lost to the Pacers at home two nights ago. In a game where the winner was decided in the final seconds, the Trail Blazers worked as a team to force the Pacers into turnovers, especially with Zach Randolph’s effort in the lane. On the other side of the court, Toronto was beaten by a hot Chicago team by only three points. The Raptors executed fairly good team defense, and they are likely to continue this trend tonight. The pick for this Portland – Toronto match up is Portland +9 for 4 units.

The Seattle Supersonics are hosting the Golden State Warriors tonight after the latter’s valuable victory over New Orleans/Oklahoma Hornets last night. The Supersonics beat the Hornets a day earlier, too, with much better gameplay than the Warriors implemented.  However Seattle suffers from scoring problems nowadays, having excessive turnovers to turn the match into a mess. Tonight, the Warriors’ defensive strength is likely to determine the result of the game. Expected as an ordinary game, the pick is Under 209.5 for 4 units.

The Atlanta Hawks are turning their route from Los Angeles to Sacramento to challenge the Kings in Arco Arena, having lost to Los Angeles on Friday night. Whenever the Hawks concede 100+ points, they have difficulty in dealing with the situation since they do not have key players who can score 40 to pick up the slack. Joe Johnson remains solid, but that is not enough for Atlanta playing against quality teams away from home. In tonight’s game, Sacramento’s scoring problem may become a factor again.  Lacking Ron Artest will eventually affect the Kings at home, but in a fighting game, the pick is Under 195.5 for 4 units.
