Tuesday's best game will surprise you and that is the Piston-Hornets matchup. The blowout game should not necessarily surprise the avid basketball fan with Lebron going up against the Knicks. Best: Pistons @ Hornets: The Hornets have won handily against San Antonio and Miami at home and this game should be a struggle for Detroit. Expect a sellout and raucous crowd to be against the Pistons, who haven't shown up in games against weak opponents more than they do versus strong ones. The Pistons are coming into this game on a sliding note.Predicted Score: New Orleans/Oklahoma City wins in a shocker 101-98 Runner-up: Celtics @ Hawks: Is it even possible for any team to be swept by the Hawks? That's what the Celtics face when they head into Atlanta having already suffered a pair of losses to Atlanta. It doesn't say much for your playoff chances when you struggle to beat the Hawks. I have to imagine Paul Pierce will step up and lead them over Atlanta. Predicted Score: Boston wins on the road 113-108 Blowout: Knicks @ Cavaliers: The Knicks have done badly against teams that are flat-out stronger and more physical than they are. The smaller Knicks have PG-playing-SG Jamal Crawford defending LeBron James, which is a recipe for disaster. Predicted Score: Cleveland wins handily in a double digit blowout 109-94 |
