3/8 - Celtics @ Washington: Total 165 Over/Under/Push
OVER. These teams average more than 165 PF combined and aren't very good at defense. They go way over 165.

3/8 - Cavs @ Nuggets: Pick Em!
NUGGETS. The Nuggets are good at home the Cavs are not good on the road.

3/9 - Bucks @ Mavericks (+3.5): Pick Em!
BUCKS. A risky pick in a great match up but I have faith in Quailman's squad.

3/11 - Kings @ Utah (+4.5)
KINGS. The Jazz are struggling against the Western Conference and aren't the best offensive team. The Kings lockdown defense wins this one.

3/12 - Hornets (+8.5) @ Hawks
HAWKS. The Hornets are awful on the road. The Hawks run away with this one.

3/14 - Lakers @ Portland: Total 175 Over/Under/Push
OVER. The Blazers have been averaging about 95 points a game since the return of Dennis Scott and are giving up 92.

3/16 - Bucks @ Magic: Pick Em!
BUCKS. Big Z will make a big difference in this one against the smaller Magic.

3/18 - Bulls (+11.5) @ Nets
BULLS. I'm going to say that the Bulls lose this but cover the spread.

3/19 - 76ers @ Pistons: Total 13K Attendance Over/Under/Push
OVER. This is 1999 we're talking about. Detroit hasn't blown up yet.

3/21 - Warriors @ Washington (+20.5)
WIZARDS. Juwan Howard will show up big and help Washington cover the spread.

[WigNosy]

3/8 - Celtics @ Washington: Total 165 Over/Under/Push
OVER - While both teams aren't spectacular offensively, their defenses are even worse.

3/8 - Cavs @ Nuggets: Pick Em!
NUGGETS - Both teams are middle of the pack playoff teams. The Nuggets are at home, so I give them the edge.

3/9 - Bucks @ Mavericks (+3.5): Pick Em!
BUCKS - This one's easy to explain in just one word: NOPenny. But how is it a "Pick 'Em" if the Mavericks have a points line of +3.5?

3/11 - Kings @ Utah (+4.5)
JAZZ - Duncan is back and the Kings are already 0-2 vs. Utah this season, so even if the Jazz don't win, no reason to think it's not going to be a close loss.

3/12 - Hornets (+8.5) @ Hawks
HORNETS - They might not win, but this will be closer than a lot of people think.

3/14 - Lakers @ Portland: Total 175 Over/Under/Push
OVER - See Celtics at Washington.

3/16 - Bucks @ Magic: Pick Em!
BUCKS - The Magic were 1-3 against the Bucks last season and 0-2 against them this season. It's just not a good matchup for Kidd and Company.

3/18 - Bulls (+11.5) @ Nets
NETS - The Nets were streaking and carving teams up the last two weeks - the loss to Atlanta was an aberration. They'll get back on a roll and beat the Bulls handily.

3/19 - 76ers @ Pistons: Total 13K Attendance Over/Under/Push
OVER. Steve Smith still puts butts in the seats in Detroit; I don't think they've had less than 20,000 at a game all season.

3/21 - Warriors @ Washington (+20.5)
WIZARDS. The Warriors are a lot better than Washington, but they just played in GS last sim and the Warriors won by 22. You gotta think home court counts for 2 points, right? RIGHT?!?

Very sad for 0 representation from the Atlantic/Midwest Division for this pick em. Automatic 0 points.
