Houston Rockets @ Orlando Magic
The Houston Rockets have been decent this year without center Yao Ming but they haven’t looked like a serious contender. On Wednesday, they’ll get to measure themselves against the team was the best in the East last year to see just where they are at.
The Magic have won four of their last five games and finally got their All-Star point guard Jameer Nelson back in the lineup on Monday. The Magic should be able to dominate this game since they have the bigger front court.
Sports Betting Pick: Orlando
Minnesota Timberwolves @ New Jersey Nets
The worst two teams in the NBA will matchup on Wednesday night as the weakest team in the Western Conference faces off with the worst team in the Eastern Conference.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are just 5-23 so far this season while the Nets are a pitiful 2-26. The Timberwolves have more talent but the equalizer could be home court advantage. Look for the Nets to squeak out their third win of the season.
Bookmaker Reviews Pick: New Jersey
Golden State Warriors @ New Orleans Hornets
The Golden State Warriors are in very bad shape right now as they can’t figure out how to win. The Warriors started the season 6-10 but have won just one game since in 10 tries.
Meanwhile, the Hornets have turned things around of late by winning five of their last eight games. The return of point guard Chris Paul has obviously helped.
Paul had 30 points and 19 assists in the team’s last home game. Against a feeble Warriors squad, similar numbers are not out of the question.
Internet Sports Betting Pick: New Orleans
Atlanta Hawks @ Denver Nuggets
The Atlanta Hawks and Denver Nuggets are two young teams on the rise in each respective conference and while the Hawks have the better record overall, winning in Denver is going to be a tall order for them.
The Hawks are just 7-5 on the road this year while Denver is 12-1 at home. Playing in the high altitude clearly affects the Nuggets opponents and the Hawks will be the next in line.
The Hawks lost in Chicago on Saturday and will play in Minnesota on Tuesday. Their game against the Nuggets will be their third road game in four nights and fatigue will be a factor.
