NBA Picks Thursday

G- Jodie Meeks PHI- Meeks played 40 minutes, had 19 shots, 27 points, 4 assists, and 3 rebounds, needless to say, all above his season average. Andre, Brand, and Williams have all been announced as "resting" last night and tonight so expect more of the same.

G- Evan Turner PHI- For the same reasons as Meeks, we like Turner tonight. These nights when you don't know exactly who is going to be playing what minutes you kind of have to role the dice, and we rolled it for 278 last night so we aren't changing anything for tonight. Turner had 41 minutes, 29 points, 29 shots, 13 rebounds, and 6 assists... all over his season average.

F- Ryan Anderson ORL- Anderson had a huge night last night. 24 points and 13 rebounds and 15 shots. Anderson is also averaging 21 and 10 over his last 5 games and we expect him to play the entire game which will become a factor for some players on some teams.

C- Greg Monroe DET- Monroe is coming off of 2 off days and he has played well vs. the full 76ers lineup throughout the season, not to mention their depleted lineup of backups who will be playing tonight.  Monroe is averaging 14 rebounds in his last two games.

C- Tyson Chandler NY- Chandler is having a great year and CHA gives up huge points and rebounds to opposing centers. Expect more of the same tonight. Especially with the possibility of them resting Melo and Amare and the fact Melo and Amare are both inconsistent. Need to stay around twitter to see updates on whether his minutes will be effected tonight.

U- John Wall WAS- Wall went off last night. 21 points, 13 assists, and 7 rebounds. Expect more of the same tonight vs. a Miami team who is resting their stars and could honestly care less about the game.

*Demarcus Cousins SAC- Cousins has been a beast in his last 2 games putting up 32/7 and 29/10. We expect a full compliment of minutes and another great performance as Pau Gasol is likely out tonight and it'll be an even thinner team for the Lakers tonight.
