Pick of the Day

Georgia State

The Panthers are fighting for the top spot in the Sun Belt, while South Alabama is winning only about 1 in 3 games on the season, and is only in the middle of the conference race because they've faced the easy part of their schedule early, but their next 3 are against the top 3 in the conference.

NBA Rankings - 15 Mar

The Clippers have extended their winning streak to 10 games, taking down all four challengers it met this week, and this week's schedule is pretty weak, so look for them to extend it to 12 by next week. Just winning won't be enough to guarantee the top spot for another week, though, as the Spurs are on a run of their own, winning 9 in a row and closing the gap on the Clippers, and they will probably also have a 12-game streak by this time next week.

Memphis has been the league's hottest team this week, winning 3 of 4 while moving themselves solidly into playoff position. They are projected to finish 3 games ahead of the Suns, and this week they have 2 easy wins, against the Jazz and 76ers, so they'll start to pull away a little bit.

Brooklyn has also continued to be hot, winning three times this week, each time against a slightly better team. They wrapped up the week on Wednesday with a last-second win over the Miami Heat, making them a perfect 3-0 against the defending champs, and they are projected to finish 11 games ahead of the Knicks, so they won't have to worry about making the playoffs.

Miami has gone ice-cold, losing 5 of their last 6 games, including 3 of 4 this week, and while Brooklyn and Chicago have been playing well, losing to Denver at home is a major cause for concern. The Heat need to beat Houston tomorrow, especially since the Rockets are the team that started this slide.

Pick of the Day #125

Georgia State

For the first time I am picking today against the team I picked yesterday, since the Red Wolves should be extra tired after surviving in 4 overtimes against Little Rock. The Panthers are the top team in the conference anyway, so they didn't need that extra advantage.
