Category: Daily NBA Picks
Toronto Raptors are turning their route from Boston to New York to challenge the Knicks tonight two days after they won against the Celtics, scoring as many as 108 points in the game. Playing careless defense makes this team go and force the opposite basket, but they cannot help conceding points either. The Knicks, on the toher hand, lost to Detroit yesterday night in a game whose first half ws led by them. With the start of third period, when most of their shots were missed, they were not able to come back and indicated the loss of self esteem could result in such defeats. For tonight’s game, it won’t be hard for both teams to send the ball to the opposite basket, so a high scoring game with Over 204.5 points the pick for 4 units.
The Houston Rockets are hosting the Cleveland Cavaliers after the latter’s victory over the Hawks in Atlanta last night. Fighting against the Hawks frontcourt players Joe Johnson and Josh Smith, LeBron James led the team with efforts of Gooden and Ilgauskas. However, the Rockets are not one of those teams Cleveland can deliver 100+ points to. The Rockets, even though they lost some momentum in thier last few games, are still a high standard defensive team, and would like to force the Cavs into black holes on the court. The pick for this game is Under 179.5 for 4 units.
The Seattle Supersonics are traveling to Utah to challenge the Jazz after a substantial victory over the Pacers, which made the entire Sonics team fresh their self confidence. Not working too hard in defense but working more in the opposite basket, the Supersonics had their way to high scores, and they are expected to do this again against the Jazz, who lost to Los Angeles Lakers two days ago in which they were not able to put their hands in front of Kobe Bryant’s hot hands, conceding 132 points. The chance of comeback from the home team is always there, but Seatle won’t let the game get away. Seattle +8 handicap is the pick for this game at 4 units.
