Boston has been putting its defensive face on (finally), on a 6-1 run under the total. That's also keyed their 6-game win streak. In fact, the Celtics have surged to 7th in the NBA in points allowed. Into town comes New Orleans, a team with no offense, 28th in the NBA in points scored. They prefer a slow paced game allowing 96.8 ppg -- 12th in the NBA. The under is 6-0 in the Hornets last 6 vs. a team with a winning record. This is the second of a back to back spot, too, and the under is 4-1 in the Hornets last 5 games playing on no days rest. The under is 11-2 in the last 13 meetings in Boston between these teams. Play the Hornets/Celtics under the total.

The Magic want be able to keep pace with the Pacers tonight!!!!!

PACERS.......PACERS........Over the Magic!!!!

NOO MAGIC LEFT FOR THE MAGIC...THE PACERS WILL RULE THE ROSST AS THEY CONTUE TO DOMINATE THE EASTERN CONFERENCE RACE...GOOOII INDIANA...

Indiana is tops in the NBA in points allowed just 89 points per game and second in rebounds and faces a weak shooting Charlotte team. Indiana is not a great shooting team, ranked 28th in FG shooting (42%) and Charlotte is ranked 27th. The under is 5-2 in the Bobcats last 7 vs. the Eastern Conference. Indiana is 29th in the NBA in points scored, preferring a slower pace, while Charlotte is 18th, so don't look for an offensive show, plus the under is 4-0-1 in the last 5 meetings. Play the Pacers/Bobcats under the total
