Miami Heat vs Atlanta Hawks
This is the game where the Hawks will say " Enough is enough" and go all out for a win which has evaded them for about two weeks or so. Hassan Whiteside will be able to strut his wares a little bit, but Dwight Howard will effectively neutralize whatever strenght Miami has in the paint. Final score: Heat 88 - Hawks 97

Kyrie Irving and the Cavs will be focused throughout the game
CLEVELAND CAVALIERS vs NEW YORK KNICKS
The Knicks are on a roll winning their last games. It looks as if the acquisition of Derrick Rose is beginning to pay off. Kristaps Porzingis will make a huge impact in this game. So will Carmelo. The Madispn Square qill erupt into a wild frenzy as their team will appear to have a chance in the first half. But by the start of the third quarter, the celebration will die doqn as it bwcomes apparent the Cavs have no intention of leaving the Garden with a loss. FINAL SCORE : Cavs 111, Knicks 96
LAKERS VS ROCKETS
Sorry folks, for some reason i cannot edit nor bring down the photo of James Harden up above. I guess it's the basketball gods way of saying the Houston Rockets are on top of the league right now, especially after their remarkable conquest of the Warriors a week ago. The young Lakers team which is hobbled with injuries will prove no match to the Rockets. This game will put you to sleep. FINAL SCORE : LAKERS 92, ROCKETS 119

After tonight's game , Steph will be shouting "Hallelujah" to yet another Klay classic
GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS vs LA CLIPPERS
The Clippers are legit contenders for the title. They could be a slight obstacle to the Warriors' title hopes. Therefore, the Warriors will use this game to issue a strong statement. They will plant into the Clippers' psyche a huge amount of doubt that they hope the Clips will carry with them into the playoffs on April.They will apply all the techniques and all the tricks that coach Steve Kerr will tell them to do. Chris Paul will put everything he's got on the table, the problem is neither Blake nor Deandre will complement his efforts. Klay Thompson will never get close to his 60 point outburst against the Pacers but will still stamp his mark with a number of clutch shots that will help ruin the night of the Clippers fans. FINAL SCORE : WARRIORS 107, CLIPPERS 97
