The New York Knicks are turning their route to Cleveland tonight for a challenge with the Cavaliers. Poor scoring performance of the Knicks resulted in a substantial loss to Chicago a few days ago. On the other side of the court, Cleveland would like to try to regain and consolidate their leadership in the division. In order to do this, LeBron James and Drew Gooden must step up their gameplay. Expected as a tight game, New York +10.5 is the pick for 4 units.

The Charlotte Bobcats are traveling to Atlanta to meet the Hawks after they chalked up a substantial win over the Nets away from home last night. Stabilizing defense and stopping Carter and Kidd helped the away team win by three points, conceding only 92. On the other hand, Atlanta lost to the Wizards in a competitive game, in which the away team forced the win until the end of the last period. Tonight’s game could be a hard fight between two strict teams, but 189 points is too low a total for a game like this. The pick is Over 189 for 4 units.

The Seattle Supersonics are hosting the Orlando Magic tonight after Orlando’s recent excellent form, thanks torising performances from Dwight Howard and defensive strength of their backcourt players. The away team considers this match as a comfortable one for themselves since they lead the division while their opponents are having nightmares. The Sonics, however, must win this game because they showed the signs of inactivity in offense and low scoring potential despite Ray Allen’s consistent gameplay. The home team seems to force the game in scoring, and the Magic is going to find a way to level it in offense too. Therefore Over 195 is the 4 point pick for this game.
