NBA Picks for March 9

One step forward, one step back. Looking to rebound once again after going 1-2 last night. Here are the picks:

Houston -4 vs Washington ==> Give me the Rockets to win and cover the points
Miami vs Charlotte -3.5 ==> Give me the Bobcats at home to cover 4 points
Philadelphia vs Indiana -2 ==> Give me the 76s on the road with the points

I like the Rockets and the Sixers on the road going up against two of the weaker teams in the league. Houston are playing a Wizards team that has lost three straight games and although they have been struggling themselves lately (4-6 record in the last 10 games), I dont think Houston has too much problems with Washington looking to rebuild. So long as the Rockets can keep Andray Blatche in check (20-10, nothing more), the Rockets should be able to win this game.

I like the Sixers on the road against Indiana. Theyre the more talented team and are still in the playoff hunt, so this game is huge if they still hold those aspirations. Plus, theyre entering the game as the underdog (albeit a small one) and anytime you can get points on a game, I'll take it.

Lastly, I like the Bobcats at home against the Heat. They are a much better team at home than on the road (22-8 at home, 8-23 away). Their up and down style does work for Dwayne Wade of the Heat, but Im willing to bet the all-around assault that the Bobcats and their roster provide will be able to off-set the production that Wade will be able to put out.

Until next time! A Bientot! See you soon!
