Good evening to all. At the Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City Jazz welcome them pistons, on 04: 00 Tuesday morning.

Great dominance over the full Clippers for them Jazz who have thus reached 8 wins in the last 10. Very good game, in his debut, by Jordan Clarkson who scored 19 points and showed that he can help Quin Snyder's whole coming off the bench, in a field that has been "painful" enough in Utah so far. At the same time, Donovan Mitchell was excellent for another match with 30 points and 9 assists. 20-12 record for the Jazz in the 6th position in the Western District.

On the side of pistons now, after a comfortable victory over the Wizards, the Spurs defeated them 136-109. In fact, in this game, Blake Griffin and his company allowed the "spurs" to score 18! three points. 12-21 is the record of Dwayne Casey's team which is in the 11th position of the eastern region 2,5 matches behind the 8th Magic.

Summarizing, the Jazz they are very strong at home, which is also illustrated by their 12-3 inside, as opposed to 4-11 at home. Ace even with a handicap at 9-10 points I think it is covered and can be an option but I would prefer to go with the team over 110,5 of the hosts. In the last 5 Quin Snyder players have surpassed 4 times 110 times, while the home defense has 119,2 points per game. Utah is also the league's most reliable (38,9%) team behind 7,25 with Detroit facing a big 3-point range as their opponents make up 37,2% of their efforts.

Good evening everyone and happy birthday. At Detroit's Little Caesars Arena, the Pistons welcome the Wizards at 02am on Friday morning.

Match between two teams with a similar record tonight, as the hosts are 11-20 and 11th in the Eastern District with the hosts having 9-20 being 12th. Powerful favorites at prices just under 1,40 for the Pistons, mainly due to the many absences they have accumulated in the Wizards' camp that pay over 3 points to leave with a double. Personally, I find it worthless to deal with a victory point, since neither of them inspires confidence.

My choice from the game is over 43,5 on sum points, rebounds and Assist their Bradley Beal, in yield 1,83 (bet365).

Before this season even started we knew more or less what we will see from this year's Wizards. A mediocre to poor team from which Beal will stand out and write big numbers, with this prediction being confirmed for the time being, although it is true that Scott Brooks' team is quite reliable offensively, having the 6th top performance in the league. , however defensively it is in the 30th. Beal in turn is excellent and counts numbers that data will make him an all star this year, while most likely will secure him a place in one of the all NBA teams at the end of the year, which is his personal goal since he is the milestone needed to get a supermax contract. More specifically, the 26-year-old guard counts 28,3 points per game (5th scorer of the league), along with 4,9 rebounds and 6,8 assists. The line tonight is higher than its averages, however this is because as mentioned above there are many absences of key players for the visitors, which will lead Beal to take on even more effort and I believe he will be able to do it. overcome.

13 games have the current NBA program but there is no big trick.
In Detroit, Pistons who go from bad to worse, they accept the Clippers. I've retracted Detroit in the Phoenix fight, where although it was hard to beat in the end and paid us. In the last 10 games they have only one victory against the defeated Thunder . As I have already had the most curious 5a since there are 3 heavy bodies (Drummond-Monroe-Smith), with the result that there are problems with shrinkage changes and musicals do not threaten the periphery at all, except for Jennings. Milwaukee with 98-86 in a match not played by Jennings and started by DJ Augustin.
The Clippers, although they started the season with poor performances and psycho-positive victories, have beaten up and count 3 wins in the last 4 matches while having a total 8-5 record. The 4 games have been defeated by Eastern teams and after home defeat Chicago with 105-89, count 3 away victories with two-digit differences in Charlotte, Orlando and Miami sample of how open the split between East and West.
Today they will want to achieve another victory in their tour in the East and today they will have the ideal opponent, a team that stumbles and forcibly achieves over 90 points.

Let's take a walk from the magical world of the NBA, where today the game has quite a lot of matches (11 as a whole). As in the previous stakes, I will play a match against a western and an east group, where I will naturally stand up against the East.
Sanse did not start well this year, since 7 gave 11 6 home games with 5-2 records. However, they managed to beat 118 from the top teams in the championship, such as the Golden State and San Antonio. On Monday they started a tour East to defeat Celtic in their first fight at Celtics with 114-30 in a match that although they were ahead of them with two-point differences was little missing. First scorer for Shams was Markieff Morris with 19 points while Senior Len scored 30 (rec ) and it seems to be getting slowly on it. Let's remind you that Sanse probably have the best line at the NBA, since behind Bledso and Dragic there are Greens and Thomas who can put 3 points on their good days. Many times even coach Hornackeck plays with close shapes to have XNUMX of them at his five.
For their part, Pistons with a new coach, Stan Van Gandy, started this year with a numb and 3-8 record. The tall figure with Smith, Monroe and Drammond does not come out because the team from the middle and the long distance does not threaten, 3 on the parquet are no distances in the attack and basically falls on top of each other, since the three want the ball close to the basket. The only positive news is that the Jennings playmaker makes a good year with raised numbers over last year. Also, the bench did not offer many aid since apart from the DJ Augustin the rest is nothing special.
It's hard for Detroit to keep up with the San's rhythm and I think Shawn will get an easy win.

A match between two teams that are not doing very well lately. Although this is more true for the guest Pistons, since Milwaukee is tragic all year round with some small glimpses here and there.

Detroit has also wrestled 2 with 115-94 this season and with 105-98 away, in 2 fights but Milwaukee has had many injured.

Until 15 days ago, Detroit was in the top 8 of the East with a record close to 0.500, coming from bad performances since it has a score of 10-3 in the last 7 matches. In the last game against the Clippers in Detroit, they lost 112-103, with Stuck to score 29 points, Josh Smith put another 24 but the team's main playmaker Jennings was absent with 0/7 shots. Remember that Jennings plays against his old team after playing in Milwaukee for the past 4 years.

On the other hand, Milwaukee has the worst record in the NBA with 7-33 and this year is essentially lost. The only positive thing is the small average age of the players that leaves hope for the future. Also, the Adatocumbo looks pretty good averages around 10 points and 6 rebounds and Milwaukee seems to believe him enough. However, 2014 have not made a victory yet, however they had a difficult tour with a tour in the West. 17 defeats in the last 19 matches and show have a serious problem a in attack, where only Brandon Knight is a safe solution.

I believe that today's hosts will break the pomegranate will win their first win for 2014 against unstable Pistons.
I also get + 4,5 for more security.

Pistons must meet immediately if they want mid-April to be in the first eighth in the East, leading to the playoff. The support they have as a team is given after the additions of Jennings, Smith and the improvement jumps he has makes the key and irreplaceable Andre Drummond. However, their results and image in most of the game so far is not the one that fits into a team that aims to return to the postseason, but also the quality units that make up it. The record whether they are 4-7 and Xenum-93 are coming to a hat in the second round of the Hawks race, with 85-7 and Greg Monroe (3 with 8-4), Caldwell-Pope (1 with 9-0 and 6-11 trips) and Josh Smith (5 with 15-0 and 4-99 trips) who showed an impact on their former team in a bad night. will be hostile neither for him nor for his team as they return to "Palace" and even if they are still too early in the season they are forbidden to lose again and again They have already met two defeats in Detroit against Pacers (91-119) and Thunder (110-113), and have won the Wizards ( 102-87), Celtics (77-92) and Knicks (86-10.4) to their most recent. Their great power is considered the Drummond and Monroe duo on the racket, which has a 6 rebound and is flanked by the presence of Josh Smith and Jennings's in the region. Everyone I get plus Stuckey who gives great help from the bench and has The 16.8's "piston" player has a two-digit number of points, with Bucks's former point guard being the one who drives with 9.9 per race. This is the team with the largest number of stolen 48.5 championships but also with the worst shot in an opponent's shot, as it allows 10% accuracy, with the improvement in defensive performance imperative, as it is also within 101.2's worst defenses in the championship with XNUMX.Villups, Bynum and Villanueva are all their doubts for today.

Atlanta has made a start in the first 12 races of the season that probably would not have even imagined its most optimistic fan. It has a record of 7-5 and has managed to pass both from Sacramento (105-100) and from Charlotte 103-94) and New York (110-90) in terms of their off-season .... Instead, defeats met mainly in the West, specifically Dallas, Lakers, Denver, and Florida from the Heat. Lou Williams and Ayon have returned from injuries that kept them off in the early 10 matches of the season and now the "Hawks" In the last game at the Philips Arena against his tonight's opponent, Millsap (19 with 8-14) and Teague (18 with 8-14 and 7 assist) were the ones who led their team in winning with the awesome 50.7%, but losing the battle in the rebounds and especially the aggressive state, since Detroit picked up 15 against just 5 from Atlanta and 43 versus 38 as a whole, respectively. It is noteworthy that both the two teams achieved 50 points from the painting. The rebounds s a big "thorn" for the Hawks, as well as collecting the fifths less with ave 40.6, while problem exists in regional defense, where the opponent is aptly rate reaches 37.7% and within the last decade.

Personally, the Atlanta team does not ... go, as I have been struggling with it (except for a match). I have to mention it for those who weigh them before they end up if they follow a point I propose. However, I think the timing is in favor of the Pistons, although Atlanta is molded and performs well, especially in the recent games. But the team that currently needs more victory is undoubtedly Detroit, which I believe will consolidate its sovereignty in the rebounds, it will hardly have it so much again OBJECTIVES and a bad night in Monroe and hardly see them shoot again as bad as in the last game (just over 40%).

Matches that are expected to be fought by the two teams are between Pistons and Pacers at "The Palace" as Monroe and Drummond will be on the one hand and Hibbert and West on the other. The Pistons already count 2 / 3 up until now, but in the premiere they faced the very bad defensive Wizards who have nothing to do with last year's, while in Memphis it took 5'minutes of the extension to go from 190 points to the two teams and with the "bears" the same applies to Washington. On the contrary, it was a very easy man who was the last one with the Celtics (87-77).

 The Pacers is something of last year's recipe, which contained plenty of wood and tough defenses throughout the fight, with Hibbert and West covering the basket, since the first is the NOXXX blocker at the moment with m. 1, 4.7 and 4 with 3 and Mahnmi with 8, making 2.3 a tremendously efficient three-tier high defense team. The 83.7 is also the best defense team, which allows only 37.9% accuracy to the opponent (1 and here), and as easily understood by the arapano static three tall and is in the first block ave amazing .Pano 12 from 185 it had entered into any of the struggles of the Pacers, while they have not received more than 90.

I expect a lot of "wood" from the tall teams and Indiana tight and defensive as usual. Based on the fact that the power of the Pistons is high I think they will find them extremely dark aggressive and I will choose the under 93.5 for their attack.

Personally, I consider the Pistons to be one of the favorites of the tournament, who have a roster of 13 players, 5 of whom have been in Detroit together since last year. They are Andre Drummond, Kim English, Slava Kravtsov, Khris Middleton and Kyle Singler. They fill almost the top five, in terms of the positions in which they play, since Drummond also plays as a four and could well coexist with the 25-year-old Ukrainian center in the same lineup. For Singler we could say that he was one of the revelations last season for the "pistons" completing it with 8.7 points, 4 rebounds. and 0.9 assists in 28 minutes of participation per game and playing in all 82 matches and in 74 of them as a starter. and 11.4% in three-pointers (41.3 rebounds, 45.5 assists), without doing the same during the regular season, which is not the case for Middleton who "grabbed" some of the opportunities given to him and gave assists mainly in scores and defense. The team that brings Detroit down to the summer league is characterized by their quality in the tall and I believe that they will be one of the teams that will dominate the "air" in general and the rebounds in particular.

On the other hand, we have the Nets who, at least at first glance, do not seem like something terrible. Shengelia and Taylor are the only ones who have been wearing the Brooklyn jersey since last year when they played for the first time in summer league, both performing exceptionally (10.2 points). with 52.9%, 3.6 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block the first and 15.5 points with 44.4%, 2.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 steals the second), but without being able to gain the trust of their coaches in the regular In addition to the two, there is Keith Benson on the roster who also comes from a very good summer league (13.2 points, 6 rebounds, 2.2 blocks) last summer with Atlanta. Damion also played in the last one. James, who is also on the roster of the "nets" but in last year's preseason where he moved to mediocrity (6.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists).

As I said at the beginning, I consider the Pistons to be the favorite in the tournament and I will be surprised if they fall under the 3 position. It is a set with five players from the first team roster, has a very strong frontline with Drummond and Kravtsov and Kyle Singler are coming from a very good season. On the contrary, Nets believe they will find it difficult to get to the parquet with ease, at least not in the first game. As chemistry plays the last role in this tournaments (if other are the primary issues), the the fact is that Pistons have much more than their opponent, as well as talent.

Another match that "sat" well for me, is that of the Mavericks in Detroit. The hosts are in a bad situation, coming from three consecutive defeats and six in their last seven games, where in most of them they met the radio. (114-82 out and 90-72 in), Hawks (114-103 in), Hornets (100-95 out), Spurs (114-75 out) and yesterday in the home game against the Knicks with 87-77 and Greg Monroe to be ruled out due to an ankle sprain. In fact, things seem to be more serious for the Pistons center, as he is considered extremely doubtful for all three of his team's next games (tomorrow, Sunday and Monday). that at the moment the information states that he can not put pressure on his ankle because it hurts and in combination with the fact that back to back matches follow after that with Dallas, I do not think that Lawrence Frank will risk using it is not 100%. I say all this because Monroe is the top scorer (16.1), rebounder (9.5) and ... thief (1.32) of his team and his possible absence will leave a big "nakedness" on the frontline of the "pistons" as happened yesterday in the match against New York, where the hosts collected 36 rebounds, against 48 of the "orange" and with the only purebred center Viacheslav Kravtsov having 2 rebounds and 4 points in 12 minutes. Maxiel and Jerebko Unexpectedly, they will be the ones who will start in the top five for Detroit and in the fight with the "cowboys". worst attack with 15.2.Finally, doubtful besides Monroe is also Villanueva, while Drummond remains consistently out.


We are playing at the Mavericks, who are obliged to hunt down to the end of any hopes they have to enter into the eighth and playoffs. At the moment they are five wins away from their goal and with 27-33 hold 11's West. quite good condition, except for the last four days of February, where they had three consecutive defeats from Lakers and Bocks within, but also in Memphis, which they managed to overcome with the double at Brooklyn (98-90) and the difficult home win over Rockets (112-108) yesterday, after (136-103). Apart from Texas, he is not one of the most stable teams as he counts a record of 10-21. However, the margins are now narrower, and any confrontation can be considered final for the champions of the championship, since otherwise they will see the playoff go even further. Nowitzki's team has one of the best attacks on the league with 101.2 points (7 the best), shooting at rates of 45.5% (10 best) and 36.8% on the tripe (9o cal but also the fourth worst defense with X.NUMX. The Texians get points from a number of players and a double-digit of six, having a strong circumference, but also an equally efficient frontline at least as far as the aggressive piece.

I will go with Mavericks -2, because it is the team that is burning for the victory, it aims to enter the eighth and the playoffs, but also because it faces a team that will not have the best player in the parade. The absence Monroe is a big blow for the "pistons" and that was clearly seen in the Knicks game. The first game between the two teams in Dallas was easily won by the home team with 92-77 and I believe that something will happen tomorrow.

Matches between 2 teams that are on the rise in February with the hosts having some dim hopes - mathematically the guests also have - to qualify for the playoffs as Milwaukee which is in 8th place does not inspire confidence that it will be able to hold there until the end. It seems to the Pistons that the exchange that brought Calderon to the team worked beneficially with Knight not losing his place in the top five but turning into a shooting guard, with the Spaniard helping a lot in the offensive part, mainly with his assists. Of course, Detroit still has many transitions in its game and goes very easily from high to low and vice versa. However, what seems to characterize them is that they find them dark when their opponent is a team with defensive talents since they can not score easily and barely reach or exceed 90 points, losing games in most cases. In the last 2 weeks, they scored 79 points in Indiana, 85 in New York, 90 against the Nets and 86 against the Hornets. A blow is the injury of Dramond who had shown good elements like a rookie and was unlucky since he was left out at a time when he seemed to be in shape and was gaining more and more participation time.
The 4 team in Washington confirmed their rampant advance from the time Wool returned to the team, relegating from the last position of the championship as well as the East. In addition to the return of the team's first scorer and passer who seems to have changed to "Primates" is the great effort they make in defending, keeping their opponents low on the score. The improvement on this track is very great considering that up to last year they were perhaps the worst defensive team. In the last 20 races they gave they only accepted 2 times - with the exception of the match against the Nets that went into the overtime - over 100 points and the even more paradoxical is that they won the 2 matches! So without impressing on the aggressive track, they manage to make several victories compared to what they showed us early in the season, having 10-10 record already surpassing Charlotte and Orlando while being almost with Cleveland anymore.
Tonight is the third game this season with confrontation of the specific teams with the two previous to be Christmas stays and which ended both with victories of Pistons having both low scores.
Something similar is expected to happen today, especially since the Wizards appear to be improved defensively while Detroit seems to have an issue with good defenses especially when they are under the basket (because that is where the Knicks with Chandler, the Nets with Evans rest- Humphries, the Hornets with Davis-Lopez, the Pacers with Hibbert, etc.) since they lack the easy baskets from Monroe who "opens" the defense being a good passer for free shots from the periphery. Okafor, who is expected to shoulder his marking, can keep him low in scoring so that the "Magi" have more chances to continue their streak.
For more news about injuries and more predictions, the basketball part of the forum - which although Champions League days has enough movement - awaits you

Returning to victories is the Celtics currently hosted by the Pistons in the "Palace". The last ones, who are in pretty good shape by measuring seven wins in the last 11 matches, returned from London, where three days ago they were defeated by Knicks with 102 (87-2). They are in the 90 position of the East with the same record as Orlando (87-11), but not positive record at Motor City (14-25). It's one of the Groups with the smallest productivity, since it has the 10 points, which is the eighth worst, but its percentages are at least satisfactory, as it shoots with 11% which brings it to the middle of the table, but also with the extremely high 94.8% on the three-pointer which is the seventh best in the league. However, the high level of mistakes in each match (44.4 and six more) is worth more than that in the field. more efforts are being made by Greg Monroe (37.3., 15.2 p. and 15.4rimp.), however, who looks very lonely in the frontline with the "slightly" aggressive Maxiell (3.2 and 9.2rimp) element and Drummond (7.8 and 6rimp.) coming from the bench but not doing the same thing ... noisy and on the parquet with the one who had made his name before the draft. At the same time, Detroit has not been able to show anything scary, with Knight (7.2 and 7.3 as) taking over the organization and the efforts of Prince (13.7 and 4.3Rip) to fall more and more as the years pass, and Stuckey (12.1 and 4.7 as t is extremely "soft" compared to the evolution of waiting to have the people of the "pistons". In general, we have a team that relies heavily on his defense, which is among the ten best of the league with 11.8, with one of the best regions in the field where he does not accept more than 4.3% behind the "bow", which is also the third best, and Monroe's appetites aggressively, since beyond that and Knight the selections are very limited. Also positive is the big appeal they have in the rebounds by picking up the ninth more with 96.3 per match, but also the ninth more block with 32.8. Pusan ​​beyond the classical Maggette not exist.

On the other hand, as we said at the beginning of the text, the Celtics are looking for their return to victories after the two "Sphinars" received by Hornets (90-78) and Bulls (100-99 in prolongation) (94-75 in), Hawks (89-81 off), Knicks (102-96 off), Suns (87-79 within), Rockets (103-91 in) Bobcats (100-89 within). "Celts" have no room for losses against theoretically small and medium-sized teams in the East, as they are currently in playoff with 20-19 and X NUMX-7 away from Boston. Following the instructions of one of the top tactical defense coaches, they continue to perform remarkably in the defense - not as much as in the last few years - with their midfielder being at 11 and being the seventh but not the 95.8% that allows the opponent to shoot, which brings them to the middle of the table, as is the case with 44.7% in the tripe. However, Pierce's "Gerolians" (36.1., 19.3. , 5.6.) And Garnett (3.8., 14.6, 7.), Along with the upgraded aggressive and even better than last year's Rondo (2.1. 13.5., 11Rip.) Continue to lead the "green", with the last two of them to be present at the All Star Game five in Houston this year. The fact is, though, of Massachusetts has not looked as much as we would expect. Players like Terry, Green, Lee, Sullinger and Barbosa give great quality to their ... chairs, but do not offer what they expect in the parquet, with the exception of perhaps the first who although much fallen in relation to the player we saw last year in Dallas, at least for (5). Unlike Brandon Bass, who along with Green could easily be described as the big disappointment of this year's Celtics, with the latter even performing the worst season of his career (10.3 ., 9.4rimp.) And the first one has gotten it down for good. On the positive side for Boston, the fact that 3.1 has the worst attack on the league with 12 but shoots with the awesome percentage of 95.2% which is the sixth best and also the big appeal that exists in the 46.3 steals per match which are the fourth more. There are no presentations for Rivers beyond Bradley's well-known.

I will go with the Celtics and this will be the first time this year I will trust them as they are from the teams that do not cover me so that I can raise money on them. However, lately they are very high (except for the last two " "at TD Garden) are marginally within eight and want immediate return to victories, even though they are not threatened by the bad guys Sixers this year. Additionally, it is worth betting a bit on the selfishness and stubbornness that the Celtics have always had today they will look for the rematch for the ministry PMO with 103-83 in the first meeting between them this year again in "The Palace".

"Deer" after Scale's removal and "promotion" to Boljan's first coach seem to have been transformed for the better by winning 2 wins in 2 matches and staying at 7's position in the East in which the situation is totally fluid as the distance that Milwaukee has from the teams under 8 is the same as it has with Miami in the top spot!
For Milwaukee we have analyzed things in match with Sans, he mentioned some things and NBAer at the picnic with Chicago while he was also picking up in the last game that was encountered by the two current opponents in Detroit. However, what seems to have changed to hosts is that they have more freedom in their game especially in the attack, with Jennings being very upgraded scoring. He has also changed the composition of the original pence by toppling the figure starting from the start of Illysow in place of Daniel while showing more to be trusted by Henson, the team's rune, which has 11 points and 11 rebounds average in the January matches having more time participation. 
Detroit, for his part, has stayed behind on the playoff qualifying issue, though he is very competitive in his seat and raised in relation to last year and the start of the championship as their original record was 0-8! From the holiday season onwards, they are doing pretty well with 6 winning 8 games and their 2 defeats coming in for the first time in Atlanta and the last in their last game within their own ... Bobcats! !! In the turn of these games one of their "victims" is their tonight opponent who won very hard with 96-94. In that game Milwaukee was left early on in the scoring and although he turned it in the last few minutes several mistaken choices deprived the victory. The main reason was that he completely lost the battle of the rebounds and Pistons won quite aggressively, renewing their attacks and eventually winning. In general, however, Detroit does not contend as a team, it is based more on the outbursts of some of its players, Monroe seems to be in decline, Bainoum and Stake are undoubtedly shooting and rarely justified, Singler is no longer surprising for his opponents, the accuracy of Villarreal outside of the trio's line can not continue indefinitely, leaving only Knight and Prince having some stability in their play.
I will trust the hosts that with the changes in their five will not face problems under the basket as in their last match against Pistons, and Jennings will very hardly repeat such a bad appearance similar to the New Year's premiere. Besides, Milwaukee, more specifically his coach, tries to "fix" the team (since he is considered temporary until the end of this year) and has an incentive to "present work" to persuade the owner to renew the contract with him. The same is what many players are trying to keep in place since it was announced that radical changes are expected during the transfer period either now (or 21 February) or in the summer.

Although the analysis has been written for a long time because it is still unclear whether Montai Ellis is fighting, many companies have not made any returns. However, if his ankle keeps him out of the race (according to the latest news, he is most likely to fight) and again I still believe that Milwaukee will prevail comfortably.

New Year's Eve, but the show continues on the NBA floor, but there are not so many matches tonight. However, they show a certain match, so let's look at (at least initially) one that starts earlier than the next. Two clubs belonging to the same district, Central, are in Detroit's "Motor City" and have a very good track record in recent matches with both 3 wins in the last 4 matches and a common point that both of them in their last game have been challenged last year's champions of Miami.
The hosts rely almost exclusively on their home base, having achieved 7 there from their 10 overall victories, but have stayed away this year from claiming a position to lead them to the playoffs. In fact, they do not have much change compared to the last season, apart from adding the promising Dramt Knight, who will be a good twin with Monroe under the baskets and Maggetti who came from Charlotte in exchange for Gordon. Prior to the last 4 racing game 6 was coming from defeats that eliminated them from 8 in the East.
Milwaukee, on the other hand, is doing much better and is with Chicago in the 4 position of the East, having improved a lot compared to the last season, especially when it is away from home. This is due to the fullness that distinguishes them with many players who can help score in both the guard (Jennings, Ellis) and from an average distance or near the basket (Danliwi, Sanders, Iliasova). Especially when it struggles with teams that are below 50% in victories at the time the match is made, it usually finds the way to win (except for some exceptions) finding the dark when it faces its rather superior opponents especially from the West.
Seeing both teams against Hyt, Detroit was too lucky to have unreal grip on the tripe and Bainum to score some baskets under pressure that last time she had to do something similar to her jersey. Maccabi . Plus, he did not find Wyatt opposite him, so he only had James and Bop to restrict himself. On the contrary, today's guests started the game hard and despite the black-outs that hit with the start of 2's half-time they were amazing in the last season and came to the triumph against a team that was even more motivated to avoid a second consecutive defeat.
I believe the Deer will confirm their superiority with more solutions in almost all positions and should not be considered an underdog against a not so strong team. Besides, they have defeated the "Pistons" in 3 since 4 last played games.
Possibly, depending on the news (for example, if Ronto will fight tonight), he will have another choice for the tonight matches, predictions for which there are also here

Second choice for the NBA this afternoon. The Clippers are currently with Thunder the "hottest" team in the league having 9 consecutive victories on a tour in the East. Still, 2 has been victorious from making a record of 11's 1975 history, 30's performance when the team was called Buffalo Braves, and starred Macadou, who later excelled in Europe (maybe some people remember it with her shirt Treser Milan faces Mars in the days when all of Greece saw the Championship Cup in FIFA, for XNUMXes and above, of course, this brackets).
This year, the Los Angeles team is more complete with Billlap as healthy and Crawford's additions (the big favorite at the moment for the 6 player's award, and 1's 4 championship at the time of the race !!!) and Barnes (which does not remind the player who saw the spotlight last year about falling on his interference with the police) that bring scoring (the first) and energy to the defense but with a good presence especially in the last games in the attack the second) coming from the bench. In their 9 victories, and with the exception of the match against the strong enough in the defense field (and especially in the positions of the highs in the presence of the Noah, Boucher and Gibson) Bulls, the Clippers scored a three-digit number of points taking advantage of the fact that they have plenty of options in Attack so close to the Jordan basket now has more room to act and to easily convert Chris Paul's lobbies as well as to the periphery that besides the aforementioned there is also Bledsoo with a very good presence this year (42 points "gets" from the bench as a whole, 2 the best in the league). So only an impression is not due to the fact that this 9 racing game achieves about 106 points per game, bigger than the 99.5 that they counted before their winning streak.
On the other hand, Pistons have 4 defeats and they seem to be defeated after a mini-positive series that has removed them from the last positions of the East. While they showed good evidence in the attack, especially competing at their headquarters seems to have worsened a lot in the defensive piece that was their advantage since the beginning of the season. Only against Cleveland managed to win in December (twice, of course, taking advantage of Irving's absence), while 4 has suffered a defeat in its home defeat, with the exception of Indiana's last defeat in all the others more than 100 points from Denver, Chicago (not renowned for its aggressive qualities especially without Rose and Hamilton) and Warwars. Detroit has limited solutions, quite a "small" roster, and today's race will be 3 that gives 4 2 days with Friday's fight in Brooklyn to be judged on XNUMX's prolongation.
I will bet the guests to continue their winning streak based on their prosperity but also on the fatigue of the home team who do not think they can follow their rhythm, and there are also quite vulnerable defenders. The handicap is somewhat big and although I see it covered, I would prefer to trust their attack to overtake 100ra for another game.

Good month and good earnings to everyone I wish, all of us do well to celebrate with an extra franc in the pocket until the end of the month that started today. We are going to see what exactly we will ... inaugurate.

At the American Airlines Center, the Mavericks welcome the Pistons, with Rick Carlisle's team coming from their worst productive game of the season, having seen the Chicago derailleur scoring just 78 points (101-78). last matches, where in addition to the Bulls hosted the Lakers (89-115) and hosted by the Sixers (100-98). In Dallas, however, they are very strong and changed for the better, counting five wins in eight games and having a total (negative) record 7-9. Out of the eight matches they gave at ... their home, in six they managed to achieve 101+ points, with their average amounting to 105,2. Also, in six of them he had as a big protagonist ( whether he won or lost) this year's excellent OJ Mayo, who leads his team by points (19,8), with Kaman (13,9), Carter (13,1) and Collison (12,9) following The Texans have the ninth best attack with an average of 99,2 points 's, shooting with 44,8% (11th best) and 39% on three-pointers (5th best), while they are very accurate and from the shooting line with 77,3% (8th best). In general, this is a team that gets points from most of its players who will be on the floor, with most of the efforts going to Mayo and Kaman who so far perform exceptionally. Apart from the long-known absent Nowitzki there is no other absence for today, with Darren Collison doubtful, but the reports want him to be present, after he got out of yesterday's training program without any problems. However, it is also doubtful whether he will start as a key player, since if Rick Carlisle's words are verified, then the former Pacers ace will come off the bench, with newcomer Derek Fisher taking the lead role.

On the other hand, the Pistons away from Detroit are nothing special, facing many problems defensively and not only ... Recently, Bynum and Prince with statements made their coach on the "wall" throwing "nails" concerning the His choices in systems and team members. Which clearly shows that the climate in Motor City is not the best possible. So far they have a record of 5-12 and 1-9 in their away games, as they managed to win only in Philadelphia (94-76). They have received 105+ points in their 5/10 matches away from "The Palace", with their average reaching 99,2 points. Defensively, however, they are approximately in the middle of the relevant table (13th) accepting an average of 97,1 and even allowing the opponent to shoot with only 43,6% and 34,9% on three-pointers which is the 9th and 12th best so far in the league. However, this is a team that is quite prone in errors, as it falls to an average of 15,9 per game. It is worth noting that yesterday they played in Memphis, where they lost 90-78. There are no competitive problems for Lawrence Frank, who will have all his players available.

I will go over the Mavericks attack, as they come from three consecutive defeats and I am expecting their outbreak today against a team that has shown some good examples in its last defensive games but I do not think it can to keep under 100 the very productive home-based Mavs.The likely return Collison helps even more (and he will now give his points off the bench), but the key will once again be OJ Mayo which at American Airlines Center is presented "p niasmenos "taking the team from ... hand and leading her (usually) to victory.

The first match of the year in front of their audience will be given tonight by the Nuggets, who welcome the Pistons to their Pepsi Center. 84), Magic (75-102) and Heat (89-119). George Karl's team was unrecognizable - at least offensively - with Philadelphia and Orlando, failing to score more than 116 and 75 points respectively. In the premiere they had only three players with double-digit points, as she could not find help even from her bench. She shot with very bad percentages - for Denver - as she did not exceed 90% (37,5-33) and 88% (22,2-4 ) in the three-pointers, he made many mistakes (18), while in a bad night he also had "key players like Lawson, Iguodala, Miller and Chandler, at the moment he played without Gallinari. With the latter, however, he is normally present at matches with the Magic, their image did not change much, since they still had a problem (22% shots with 38,1-32 and 84% three-pointers with 26,9-7), while for the second game in a row only three players exceeded 26 points. But where the Nuggets we all know were against the champions, where in a game with non-stop running throughout it they claimed the victory until the last second. They shot with 10% (51,6-49) and 05% (23,8-5) in three-pointers, they reduced the errors even more (21) in relation to the previous two games, dominated comfortably in the "air" collecting 13 offensive rebounds and 18 total, while they had 47 players (out of 7 who played) with double-digit points. However, one goal (three points) ) -Allen's foul in the final was the reason for them to leave for another match with ... empty hands. For tonight's match Karl will definitely be deprived of the duties of Julyan Stone, while Timofey Mozgov is given dubious hopes for his debut. It is worth mentioning the fact that Denver will compete for the first time this year with the new golden 8D retro f his idiots.

A similar start for Pistons this season, which will be in the middle (the third and three more matches) of their first tour in the West. A number of defeats in the first three matches for Lawrence Frank's team, from Rockets initially within (105-96) and then to Suns (92-89) and Lakers (108-79). A big rebound problem has been identified in " despite the presence of two extra highs such as Monroe and Drummond, since they did not manage to reach 40 in any game, picking 36,39 and 33 as 45,52 and 46 had their opponents respectively. It is worth mentioning that you are going to be playing with ... four players on the parquet, since Stuckey is not in it is the same thing, achieving a total of 10 points in the three 1-10,0-7 and 0-6 shots respectively, Knight was also a bad guy with "Limnhanthropes" with 1-8. 84 is the energetic average of Detroit points in his two away games, while he also accepted 106,5. It is very difficult to avoid the hunter today. is very much weakened away from the Palace, although the truth is that Phoenix fought it. However, with teams such as Denver who are constantly running on the pitch, with their rhythm "red" they will usually have a big problem if they can not follow the rhythm they will give off this will not be the case. Note that the injured Corey Maggette will be missing from today's game.

I'm going to go with the Nuggets, who have the chance to "defeat" and reunite from three consecutive defeats against an opponent, making an easy double-dip victory in their first appearance for this year in front of their audience. They have a much better quality team, they have solutions at the counter where they can get help, they are strong in the "air" where they are expected to dominate, with Detroit having a big problem in the field.

Second season home match for the Suns, who are welcoming the Pistons for their first win in the season. This did not come in the premiere, after being defeated by the Warriors with 87-85. (12% 10% vs. 40%) and had 38,4 players with a two-digit number of points, but they did quite a bit (5 block, 3 steals) mistakes and generally wrong choices in the specific field came up as opposed to very good picture presented by the "suns" in the preseason, regarding their matches at US Airways Center. The victories with 3 / 8 have been won, while in addition to Dallas prevailing, all the rest have been defeated. It is worth mentioning that all of their dominance at Phoenix was a double-digit point difference, against Blazers, Kings and Denver. It was one of the rebounding teams that brought 44,4 to 4 with an average of 6,3, as in the blocks was found at XNUMX with XNUMX. This is a very strong set in all positions, after players such as Scola, Beasley and Dragic have been acquired, with the former completing a strong frontline next to Gortat. It will be based throughout the year at its headquarters, since it is very difficult to deal with.

Pistons fell victim to Harden at the premiere, who set up ... a feast at the Palace of Auburn Hills, earning 37 points and sharing 12 assists !! However, Detroit's performance was not so bad, at least not aggressively (with 44.3% and 37,5% on the three-pointers). They just fell on the debut debut of the former Thunder player, who combined the defeat by the state in the battle of the rebounds and the more general defensive operation they defeated. "Pistons" is a team that does what it does at its headquarters, since it can not break a victory. Its 7-26 record last year was the third worst of the championship. This does not seem to change this year either, something that was also found in the preseason where they lost all their matches away from the Palace with ... lowered hands. In fact, they were in the worst of them in field goal percentage with 42% and 7 with the most mistakes that reached 18,8. It was a group that did not have any special support, since the only arrival was Maggette's, besides the draft where he chose the promising Andre Drummond and English, Middleton.

Second consecutive defeat accompanied by a possibly poor performance would go a lot for the Suns and especially against teams not superior to them. I hope an easy lead of Suns, who have better players and a better overall team against Pistons. The latter can not stand nor decent away from home, with their defeats usually having a double-digit point difference.
