Chicago at Orlando 92 99
The Magics returned home the next day after a good win at Miami and prepare themselves for yet another playoff team. This will be another physical and defensive match up that they can look forward to, the battle in the paint will be intense, controlling the glass will be the key factor, Bulls will have small edge in offensive rebound.
However, Orlando will have an upper hand in this match with its 3's shooting. In the last game against the league no one 3's points defender they still managed 16-27 (55.2%) from downtown which had put them back in the game in the 2nd half for good.
Chicago coming to this game with a loss at Atlanta Hawks, can't protect a its massive lead in the 1st, and 2nd half collapsed just like Miami's heats today is not gonna prepare them well at Magics Kingdom.

Play Orlando -2.5 Loss
or
Orlando -2.5/over 187.5 - I decided to go over total here, & against the trend, because Orlando will push the balls a lot more for transition, spread the floor and continue with their 3's shooting. Control the tempo and play more aggressive style which will force the Bulls to play catch up. Both teams will go to the lines, Rose will draw some contact, lead the league in this area is 2nd only to Miami Wade. I don't think the Bulls defense Orlando's 3's shooting better than Miami.
Cleveland at New York 101 110
NYK will look to play some D and back at home will feel good to play at MSG again. Melo 30 + Amare 30 + the rest 50 points. Cleveland and their new found Bob Marley + Alonzo gee will go along and try to keep up enough to not embarrass themselves. They will do their best to control the damage.
Play total score under 217.5
New Orleans at Memphis 103 96
NO is losing 3 in the row with 3-7 in last 10, visiting a team had just beaten the Spurs to pieces at their home court will be tough, with or without CP3. It will be a good match up between Zibo the Gorilla vs Okafor the human.
Play Memphis by 7
Phoenix at Milwaukee 104 93
The suns will look to take advantage another poor record team. It's nothing difficult about this game, the Suns' bench will take over 60% offensive output like last. Steve Nash will run around the baseline with the rock and do his thing.Frye will camp out in the weak right and Brook will take some 3's and collect the lunch money. That's it.
The Bucks will have Brandon Jennings & Salmons in the back court, the pair is their key offense and will put up some points.
Play Phoenix -2.5/Over 194.5 Phoenix 102 Milwaukee 88
Frye & Carter maybe out. Brook should gain more minutes
Golden State at Boston 101 107
Play total score over 201.5
