NBA Expert Picks - 10 Nov 06
Category: Daily NBA Picks
Orlando Magic are going to challenge Indiana Pacers tonight after a close win against Seattle Supersonics two days ago. Hedo Turkoglu played an important role in that match, so everyone will have an eye on him tonight too. Orlando executes team defense well, but Indiana can score as well. So, a close match between these two teams can be expected. Orlando +5 is a rational pick.
In tonight’s big match, the last years champions, Miami Heat, are traveling to New Jersey to get out to the court against the Nets. The former’s last match performance against Jazz indicates that this season Carter and his crew will not give up trying hard even if they fall behind over 10 points. On the other side, Miami reorganized the lineup so that every man on the team has a unique role, and they have been playing well in their last three games, two of which they won. This game is an open check for an overtime, but it is certain that New Jersey is going to try their best at home. New Jersey ML is a good choice (currently around -185)
Houston is going to welcome New York Knicks, who beat Denver surprisingly on Wednesday night. The Knicks’ main principle is to shoot as many as they can in a game, and try to be a fast team resembling Phoenix Suns, but they do not have a high quality guard like Nash. So, Knicks may score over 100, but they can concede 120 as well. Especially, Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady in good condition are the worst news for the New York Knicks because they do not have this much defensive capability. Game total over 194 is the pick.
