Orlando Magic will be traveling to Boston to take on the Celtics, 16-time NBA champions, though not that successful recently. The home team made a bad start to the season, so they will likely be looking to make quick amends in order not to miss the playoffs this season. On the other hand, Orlando is in the second place in the Southeast Division just a game behind the Hawks, who surprised the authorities at the beginning of the season. Orlando, having more defensive ability over Boston, can return home after a win. Orlando at the Moneyline is the pick.

After beating Washington on the road scoring 105 points, the New Jersey Nets are going to challenge Seattle Supersonics at home. The Nets don’t exceed 100 points in a game very often, but they showed they can do it if they have to. Jefferson - Carter double team handles the scoring while Kidd is executing the defensive concentration. Seattle does have good shooting guards, but the Nets’ defense is not likely to allow them to score more than 100 points tonight. New Jersey at the Moneyline is our pick for this game.

The New York Knicks are looking for a win against the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight after losing to San Antonio two days ago. Despite the loss,they try to increase game tempo in every situation by orders from the coach Isaah Thomas. Their opponents, the Cavaliers, have two of the most cumbersome players in the league, LeBron James and Larry Hughes. These young guys can carry the team in scoring but LeBron must step up in defense to stop the Knicks’ shooters tonight. This game is going to be very close indeed. New York Knicks at +6 handicap is our pick for this game.
