Dallas winner

hace a good night. see you on monday

Man he is always early, you was late . you have to keep checking  this tread .

GL  BRO

But even more important factor is the importance of that game. Both teams are in a fight for the play-off spot and need that win at all costs. Atlanta is 8th in the East with 29 wins and 35 losses and Charlotte is 7th with 33 wins and 34 losses. Both teams should be scared of the Knicks and even the Cavaliers still be able to catch them. That means this game will be played close to the intensity level we usually see in the play-offs.

One more prediction for Bulls vs Thunder game

Thunder got an embarassing loss yesterday, when they just were unable to stop the Mavericks hot shooting. Dallas scored 109 points while shoooting 53,3% from the field and 54,2% (13-24) behind the arc. As for today`s game Thunder loss yesterday could be the best news.

Russell Westbrook did not play yesterday as the Thunder are giving him rest in back-to-back games for rest of the season. He will be ready to go tonight. Kevin Durant and other starters also sat for most of the 4th quarter, as the difference ballooned to 20+ points. More importantly, the Thunder are motivated, angry and ready to prove to the world that yesterday`s game was an accident. But leaving the motivation aside, The Thunder need to win to get as high as possible seed for the play-offs. As tight as it is the top of the Western Conference standings OKC can still finish 1st, but also drop to 3rd or 4th. It may not matter much in the first round of the play-offs, but being 2nd or 3rd could be a huge difference in later rounds.

Man i missed this one, went to work early  and didn't check back .I was leaning thunder but  lots of people was on bulls so i went with bulls

thanks again  the UNDER WAS EASY

The Hawks beat the Jazz, by 2 points, then at home managed to beat the league`s worst Bucks by 5 points, followed up with 5-point win over the Nuggets, who were coming to play back-to-back away game after playing the Heat. Yesterday the Hawks were able to get a win against the Bobcats, who had that strange back-to-back game (morning game vs Bucks followed with evening game vs Hawks) and were obviously on a bad spot. So yes, 4-game winning streak, but it will be seriously tested tonight when the tables are turned and the Hawks will find themselves in worse end of back-to-back games.

One more prediction for Denver vs Detroit 19/07

It is no secret that the Nuggets are a good home team. It has been so for years and it will stay so for foreseeable future because they play in high-altitude conditions that hurt the visiting teams. Denver has been one of the disappointment this season, but they also have been struck by injuries and obviously have a tough competition in the West.

The Nuggets are playing much better as of late though. They did beat Miami in away game, gave it a fight against the Hawks 24h later and 2 days ago they did beat the Clippers. That game against the Clippers was 1st game after 5-game roadtrip, so by now they should be nicely settled to home conditions to play against the Pistons. The Nuggets have won their last 3 home games against DAL, LAL and LAC.

76ers vs Bulls 19/03

The losing streak for the 76ers has grown to 21 games. It could easily happen that this streak can be paused only by the end of the regular season. Philadelphia is just THAT bad.

It is not only losing game after game after game, but the Sixers have not even been close to having a chance. Last time the final score was anywhere close happened more than a month ago when the Sixers lost “only” by 5 points against one of the bottom teams in the league, the Jazz. There have been games where difference in points has been staying below 10 points, but it has been more about the opposing teams sometimes not taking them seriously.

Problem for the Sixers tonight is that the Bulls are not one of these teams. They will not come out flat or start taking the game seriously after falling behind by 10 points. It is just not in Chicago`s DNA. The Bulls will come out and play hard defense, smart half-court offense and will put the Sixers in a hole as early as possible.

Win  on Denver

Bulls  didn't cover

 still  a good

Thank You

Cavaliers vs Thunder 20/03

Cleveland is done with their play-offs hopes. They have a record of 26 wins and 42 losses and are already 5 wins behind the 8th seed in the East and more importantly they are crippled by the injuries, so really have no realistic chances to put together any considerable winning streaks.

Kyrie Irving is out until April after suffering strained left bicep injury in a game against the Clippers. Luol Deng is nursing an ankle injury and Dion Waiters is having an hip problems. They might play, but most likely the Cavaliers will sit them aswell. Funnily enough these are the 3 best players the Cavaliers have. Very convinient in fact, cause Cleveland wouldn`t mind losing and it is much easier to do so if your best players are sitting on the bench wearing a suit. Cleveland did put up a fight against the Heat in their previous home game, but we all know what kind of energy LBJ and the defending champions can bring out from opposing teams. The Cavaliers still fell short and lost the game by 4 points.

The Thunder on the other hand need to keep winning. They did a good job against the Bulls three days ago and should be well rested to play against the Cavaliers. With a record of 49-18 they still need to keep winnign to secure the home court advantage throughout the play-offs. We have 23 win difference in quality between these teams. Thats not only a gulf, but an ocean of a difference. Cleveland will help Thunder a lot to secure an easy win tonight. Bet on OKC to cover -8.5 points with 5/10 units.

The Bulls are one of the teams playing good backetball at the moment. They have won 6 of their last 10 games including wins over MIA and HOU. Losses against the BKN, SAS, MEM, OKC (all for sure in the play-offs) are nothing to be ashamed of.

The Bulls are winning games, but their offensive problems are noticeable. It is often not even opponent`s defense, but the Bulls just keep putting up bricks for straight possessions and often get 4-5 minute periods when they don`t have any made baskets. It has come to the point where their best offensive threat is one of the league`s best defensive player – Joakim Noah. You can`t expect many points in that kind of situation. What is the solution here? When it comes to the Bulls they will just play tough defense and try to limit their opponents scoring as much as they can. The Bulls rarely score more than 100 points, so they know they have to limit other team below that to win the games.

back on the winning track. thank you.

The Wizards overall record is 36-33. It is 5 wins better than the Nuggets have, but the Wizards also play in much weaker Conference. That means a lot easier schedule, weaker opponents and probably a better record than their quality deserves. Against the Western Conference teams Washington is only 11-17 and in away games they are with 4 wins and 10 losses.
