If you are going to bet on Friday March 31, 2006, then you must take a look at our thoughts below.

Best: Nets @ Hawks: New Jersey already lost in Atlanta earlier this year. The Hawks have beaten the Nuggets, Spurs and Pistons as well at home, proving that they can be successful even with only 10,000 fans watching. Vince Carter is the key; if he has a high-scoring game then New Jersey should be fine. Predicted Score: New Jersey wins 97-91 in comfortable fashion.

Runner-up: Suns @ Raptors: With Phoenix playing their 4th game in 5 days, they should be thoroughly tired enough to be at Toronto
