Wiz's NBA

Dallas at Denver

As much as I like how Dallas is playing right now, I don’t think they have a shot at winning game 1. I think if Dallas is going to win a game at Denver it will be game 2. I look for Billups to put on a show in game 1, and there is no question he is the reason this Nuggets team has gone from mediocre to one of the bets teams in this league. I think the game will be pretty close throughout, but I look for the Nuggets to pull away at the end and win this one by 10 points or so.

Wiz's pick:Denver-6

Miami at Atlanta

While the Hawks are the more experienced team overall, the Heat have Wade, and he knows what its like to win a big game like this, and the Hawks don’t, as they haven’t been out of the first round in years. I don’t think Horford is going to be able to play, and even if he does he likely won’t be anywhere near full strength. Look for Wade to drop a big number in game 7, as I am going with the team with the best player overall to win this game.

Wiz's pick:Miami+5.5
