Game1: Milwaukee Bucks vs. New Orleans Hornets (-2.5)
Pick: Hornets by 3
Game2: Toronto Raptors vs. Charlotte Bobcats (-2.5)
Pick: Raps with the points
Game3: Dallas Mavericks vs. Houston Rockets (-4)
Pick: Mavs with the points
Reasons: With the Bucks and Hornets, I like the Hornets to win a close game. Since firing their former head coach Byron Scott, the Hornets have played better basketball, particularly at home. For example, in their last 2 home games against the Phoenix Suns and Atlanta Hawks, the Hornets beat both teams by comfortable margins (7 and 8 points, respectively).
With the Raptors and Bobcats, I like the Raptors to win the game outright. Despite having to play last night against the Indiana Pacers, I like the matchups provided to the Toronto Raptors bigmen in this game. Raptors forward Chris Bosh and center Andrea Bargnani should have a favourable matchup against Tyson Chandler who will have to be drawn outside onto the perimeter.
With the Mavs and Rockets, I like the Mavs to win that game outright as well. I just think the Mavs have the scorers to outwork the defense that Houston provides game-in, game-out. I expect the Rockets to keep the game close, but eventually someone on the Mavericks is bound to go on a scoring streak (whether its Jason Terry or Dirk Nowitzky) that the Rockets just wont be able to match.
November Record: 9-12
