The Nuggets are in desperate need of a win tonight at home against the Jazz. I do think they get the victory, but not sure if they cover the seven-point spread in their favor. Going with the over. Good luck!

Dwayne Wade played out of his mind on Sunday and helped the Heat avoid what was looking like a sweep in the series by the Celtics. Tonight Boston comes home and they get it done. The favorite is 11-3 in the last 14 meetings between the two teams. Good luck!

The Hawks didn’t even show up to play on Saturday in Milwaukee and the Bucks made them pay with an 18 point loss. Atlanta comes back tonight focused and slips by in a tight game.

Squeaked by with a win yesterday so heading into the weekend on a positive note. The Suns have dominated the injury plagued Trailblazers in the last two games and I think they get it done today. Good luck!

I have a gut feeling the Lakers take their foot off the accelerator this evening and the Oklahoma Thunder gets it done. The place will be rocking and rolling and Durant goes off. Good luck!

The Mavericks and Spurs could end up being the best first round matchup in the NBA Playoffs especially if they can get one tonight in Dallas. Good luck!

Four games on the hardwoods this evening and at this point they all still mean a lot. I know Garnett is out, but the Celtics will still prevail because Miami has such a hard time scoring. The Lake Show keep Durant in check and head to Oklahoma City up 2-0. Good luck!

Utah are 0-7-2 against the spread the last nine times they have faced the Denver Nuggets. Utah will be without Kirilenko and Okur tonight so look for Denver to get it done. Good luck!
