Detrot Pistons are traveling to Charlotte for a match up with the Bobcats after they won against Knicks with a final half comeback. Defensive momentum of this team is currently high, and they would like to stop their opponents before they penetrate into the paint. Rasheed Wallace and Nazr Mohammed are two role players who can do this job. On the other side of the court, the Bobcats are looking for a win in order to convince the crowd that they drafted Morrison for a solid reason: to win. However, it will be very hard for the entire team to score against the Pistons tonight, even at home. Therefore, the pick is Under 191.5 for 4 units.

The Atlanta Hawks are heading towards Portland to play a tough game with the Trail Blazers, who forced Orlando in their previous match to a struggling position allowing the Magic to score only 91 points. When Zach Randolph puts in, they tend to go close to winning matches. The Hawks, however, play a high tempo game when they are in front. They weren’t able to do it against Cleveland in their last match, conceding 62 points in the first half of the game. Joe Johnson and Josh Howard have to step up if the Hawks want a win before returning home tonight. Expected as a fight between two equal opponents, the pick for this game is Under 189.5 points for 4 units.

The Los Angeles Clippers are hosting the Orlando Magic in the Staples Center after they lost to their “rival in the city”, the Lakers, last night. A slight form slip in the entire Clippers crew was observed due to inefficient basketball from Sam Cassell, the man who is expected to organize game flow in every part of the game. However, after they lost yesterday, they would like to defeat the Magic, the hottest team after Dallas Mavericks in the league at the moment, and maintain their hopes for being a promising team for the playoffs. Their last chance is a good one since the Magic encountered a similar breakdown against Portland, scoring 91 points in the whole game. Some defensive flaws in the Magic paint may result in dramatic baskets, hard to recover against a concentrated team. Clippers –1.5 is the pick for 3 Units.
