NBA 2010.03.01 first 3 picks:

Orlando Magic @ Philadelphia 76ers

Orlando did enough in the first part of the NBA season, placing them first in their division. However, they are not too comfortable, and they can't rest with Atlanta only three wins behind. Concentrating on results now will allow them to avoid late problems due to injuries or just bad nights. Since the break, they have lost at home against the rebuilt Dallas team, and on road at New Orleans. In between, they were able to win at Houston by 18 points. If they were able to do that in Houston, they should also be able to do it in Philadelphia.

Orlando is well known due to Howard. He has been playing well lately, and owns the frontcourt. Their defence is playing well, and with Nelson back and Carter finally making performances we expected, this team is hard to stop right now, with great defence and great offence.

The 76ers are going in the wrong direction since the All-Star break. After the break, in six games, they were able to win two: in Oakland against the Warriors and at home against the Spurs. But this win against San Antonio was more about a poor performance from the Spurs.

Before that game, they lost at home by 27 points against Miami. They were able to face the frontcourt of the Spurs, but that frontcourt is a little bit lazy comparing to Orlando frontcourt. Today, they will probably play without their best man in the frontcourt, Brand, and this will be rough for the 76ers, as they will have few weapons to face Howard, Lewis and company.

Their defence has been smooth lately, and will probably keep going that way today. On the other hand, their defence has not been so bad, it seems that they can handle the absence of Iverson very well . Green is likely to miss too. With Dalembert and Speights the only avaliable centres, they will probably be crushed by Howard, and the other players in the frontcourt will also have problems. Behind the arc will be the key for the 76ers try to keep the scoreboard tight, however, they will probably suffer too many points to keep it that way.
