NBA basketball picks and previews 4/19/09
In the NBA tonight the remaining 4 ‘Game 1’s are being played tonight, Utah @ L.A Lakers, Philly @ Orlando, Miami @ Atlanta and New Orleans @ Denver. Orlando rested Dwight Howard and Hedo Turkoglu in the final games of the season which is why they lost games to teams like Milwaukee and Toronto but while both are questionable for tonight’s game they’ll both definitely play in an important game. The Magic cannot afford to go into the 2 76ers home games 1-1 because Philly are a strong team at home (24-17) and Iguodala and co. can make them pay wherever they play.
Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy will be looking for big performances from Howard and Rashard Lewis, two of the Magic’s mainstay throughout the season and if they can go into the 2 road games at 2-0 they will be confident that they can at least nick one and settle this game in 5 as a team that were way over .500 on the road in the regular season. Tip off is at 5.30pm ET and the game is being televised on TNT.
