Tonight we try to have another successful picks night heading into the weekend. Usually when I pick only favorites I get burned, but tonight we buck that trend and finish strong.
WAS (-5) at ORL (L)
The Wizards have been playing well despite the loss of big man NeNe over the last few weeks. The Magic have been going in the exact opposite direction. Look for John Wall and Bradley Beal to have big nights scoring a combined 55 points in a 20 point route of the Magic.
PHO (-5) at BOS (WINNER!)
Last game marked the return of Eric Bledsoe to the Suns lineup after missing the better part of the last two months. He looked a little rusty shooting the ball, but did rack up 9 assists in limited minutes against the Cavaliers. Boston rarely doesn't show up for games and Rondo has really rounded into form after looking rusty his first couple of weeks back. The Suns are desperate for this game because they are 2 games out of the eighth seed with the number of remaining games quickly dwindling. Look for the Suns to throw everything including the kitchen sink at the Celtics in a must win road game.
LAC (+9) at UTAH (P)
The Clippers have been on an absolute tear as of late, and things should be no different tonight. The only thing preventing the Clippers from covering this line tonight will not be the Jazz, but rather a lack of a competitive game forcing them to keep their foot on the gas pedal. Even if we see 25+ minutes of Glen Davis and Danny Granger tonight, expect the Clippers to keep rollin, rollin, ROLLIN (LIMP BIZKIT shout out!!) all the way to a 9 point cover.

BJs Ass Slappingly Good Pick
Two teams with different styles, but a lot of talent. In this West v East battle, you'll want to roll with the Raptors. While the Grizz have been on a tear lately, the Raptors have won 7 of their last 10. With Toronto getting the home court advantage, you have to roll with Team Canada here. The Grizz might have a stellar defense, but the Raps have the firepower and defensive prowess to pull this one out late.
