Nov 26 - NBA

Went 2-1 last night, so thats encouraging. Hopefully, I go 2-0 tonight to bring the record back to .500. Anyways, here are my picks!

Game1: Orlando Magic vs. Atlanta Hawks (-3.5)
Pick: Falcons by 4

Game2: Chicago Bulls vs. Utah Jazz (-7)
Pick: Utah by 8

Reasons: In the Magic/Hawks matchup, I like the Hawks to win for several reasons. First off, the team at home is one of the best in the league thus far this season, going 7-0. Their defense should be solid against the better offensive options for the Magic as Al Horford and Josh Smith should be able to keep Dwight Howard and Vince Carter of Orlando in check . If they do that, Joe Johnson and Marvin Williams for Atlanta should be able to put up enough points to win this game by 7 or 8.

In the Bulls/Jazz game, I like the Jazz to win. Utah at home is one of the best teams in the NBA historically. Bulls are struggling coming into Salt Lake City, having lost their last 3 games, and their losing ways should continue to haunt them tonight.

NBA Record: 11-13
