Cleveland Cavaliers(24-8) @ Atlanta Hawks(21-8):-
Cavs will win. Tough match to predict. Cavs are on a mission oflate. Hawks are too strong at home. Both are top tier teams in the east. This is a home-and-home series and this might create complacency in the road teams mind. But Cavs are out to prove something. Mo Williams is on a tear and Cavs bench is very solid. And, LeBron is being LeBron. He might take it up a notch this game. Hawks on the other hand has Johnson and Crawford. Other than that, Cavs match up very well with Hawks. Atlanta's staple is fast break and Cavs defend the fast break very well. On the half court set, Johnson will be guarded by two very good defenders in Moon and Parker. Hawks are undersized to guard the cavs's big men... and the king. This will be a statement game for Cavs
Oklahoma City Thunder(16-14) @ Washington Wizards(10-19):-
Wizards will win. Another tough match to predict. OKC is playing better with 8-7 road record, but wizards are a good team, that is not clicked. Wizards got bullied in Memphis but Z-Bo, but Thunder doesn’t have such a big man. Thunder will be defended very well by Butler and McGuire. This will be a close match with wizards pulling out a win. Jamison will have a big game.
New York Knicks(11-19) @ Detroit Pistons(11-19):-
Pistons will win. Another match of equals. Both have identical records. But Pistons are stronger at home. Plus they have all of their stars back. That is too much fire power for the Knicks to handle. Harrington and Gallinari will be negated by the pistons counter part. The strong guard line of Pistons will bully the Knicks and pull out an easy win.
Indiana Pacers(9-20) @ Chicago Bulls(11-17):-
Bulls will win. Bulls have Thomas back and that strengthens their defense. Pacers have lost six games in a row. Pacers without Granger are not much to talk about.
New Orleans Hornets(13-15) @ Houston Rockets(18-13):-
Houston will win. Hornets are a terrible road team this season. Paul is definitely not 100%. Without Paul, Hornets can’t win on the road since west and okafor needs Paul. Both the teams’ matchup well on the front line. But Houston guards will be too fast for Paul, since CP3 is playing on one leg.
Minnesota Timberwolves(7-24) @ San Antonio Spurs(17-11):-
Spurs will win easily. Minnesota is not a good road team and spurs are too experienced for Twolves to handle. Interesting matchup would be between Blair and Love - both rebounding machines.
Golden State Warriors(9-21) @ Los Angeles Lakers(24-6):-
Lakers will destroy Warriors. Oh man! I don’t want to be a Warriors fan tonight. Lakers have something to prove now that they have lost 2 out of 3 games. Warriors are a happy bunch with a win over Boston, but they are a terrible road team. Lakers front line will make a living on the inside tonight, and Gasol will have a big night.
