		<description><![CDATA[The Orlando Magic currently own the 2nd best record in the Eastern Conference at 47-21 and if they keep the pace going they could easily lock up a number 2 seed in the playoffs. Orlando enters Wednesday night’s game against San Antonio fresh off of two days rest after a disappointing rare home loss to the Bobcats 96-89. However, the Magic prepare to rebound when they host the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday from Amway Arena. The Spurs are one of the teams that are right in the middle of a big playoff race in the Western Conference. In fact, the Spurs were on the outside looking in before a huge victory over the Heat on Tuesday. Despite the win, the Spurs not afford any losses and every game is becoming very critical. Add the fact, the Spurs lost star point guard Tony Parker for the rest of the season and it gives off the impression that San Antonio has their backs against the wall. However, the Spurs will still get the chance to keep their own hot streak alive on Wednesday in one of the toughest environments for a visiting team.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Denver Nuggets host the Portland Trailblazers in a late Sunday night Northwest division showdown inside Pepsi Arena. Denver owns the 2nd best Western Conference record at 41-21 and their postseason future appears bright especially with their success over the Lakers this season. Denver also owns one of the best home records in the NBA at 27-5 and will be 6 point favorites over the Trailblazers this Sunday. Portland has won 3 straight games and 5 of their last 6 outings. The Trailblazers are also re-energized after having 3 days off which is a fairly sizeable advantage in their favor. However, the Trailblazers recent winning spree has hardly come at the hands of any respectable opponents and it will be interesting to see just how well they are playing when they travel to Denver Sunday night. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A rematch of last year’s NBA Finals renews this Sunday when the Orlando Magic host the Los Angeles Lakers. Both teams are yet again front runners in their respected conferences to perhaps making another Finals appearance. The Lakers own the best record in the Western Conference at 46-17 while the Magic own the 2nd best record in the Eastern Conference at 43-20. However, the contest will take place at Amway Arena where the Magic are a very strong 24-6. On the other side of the court, the Lakers are just 17-12 away from the Staples Center. Perhaps even more surprising is the Lakers are entering the contest on a rare losing skid having dropped two straight road games to both Miami and Charlotte. If the Lakers were to happen to fall again this Sunday, it would mark the first time they have lost 3 straight regular season games since January of 2008. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The San Antonio Spurs host the New Orleans Hornets in a Friday night showdown amongst contenders from the Southwest division. The Spurs trail the Mavericks by 5 games in the division and come into the game after a brutal road stretch that involved 10 of their last 12 games. The Spurs knocked off the Hornets earlier in the week 106-92 as George Hill led the team with 23 points. If you buy-in to the revenge factor here, many may like the Hornets plus the additional points from the betting lines. However, the Spurs own a 21-10 record on their home court and handled the Hornets fairly easily in their last meeting in San Antonio back in the opener with a 113-96 victory. The Spurs have swept all 3 meetings this year, but the Hornets will attempt to get revenge in the final meeting of the season.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Western Conference action returns Thursday night when the Phoenix Suns host the Utah Jazz in an interesting betting match-up. The Suns own the NBA’s top scoring offense draining 109 points per contest and the Jazz can light up the score board on any given night as well. Utah will actually enter the game on a rare two day’s rest which should give them a good edge. However, the Jazz were upset by the Clippers in their last outing 108-104. The surprising loss opened a lot of eyes because that was Utah’s 3rd loss in their last 5 games and the Jazz, who were one of the hottest teams in the league, have seemingly lost their momentum. The Suns roll into the contest after a late road trip where they blasted the Clippers 127-101. The Suns have now won 7 of their last 8 games and will be slight favorites when the Jazz come into town.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most intense rivalries from the Western Conference will rekindle the flame early Sunday afternoon when the Los Angeles Lakers host the Denver Nuggets from the Staples Center. The Lakers own the best record in the conference at 44-15 and have been in a league of their own over the past few seasons. Denver at times has been the only team that has hinted to the fact that they could possibly stop the Lakers reign of dominance. The Nuggets have prevailed in both previous meetings over the Lakers this season including a big 105-79 blowout back in November. However, the Lakers still hold one of the top records at home in the NBA and they will definitely be ready for some payback when Denver strolls into town.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The New Orleans Hornets will host the Orlando Magic on Friday night in attempt to get some revenge from a 123-117 loss suffered earlier this month. The Hornets have really struggled in the month of February with a dismal 4-7 record and have also dropped two straight games. However, New Orleans will look to find some comfort in front of the home crowd where they are 19-9 on the season. The Magic (39-19) lead the Southeast division by two games over the Hawks and will attempt to pad the lead in what would be a tough road win this Friday. However, Orlando has disappointed on the road dropping 8 of their last 14 games despite being one of the top teams in the NBA.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two of the top contenders in the Eastern Conference take center stage Thursday night when the Boston Celtics host Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavaliers own the best record in the conference at 44-14, but 10 of those 14 losses has come on the road. Cleveland now looks to defend off an eagerly awaiting Celtics team that has won 4 of their last 5 games. Boston will be hosting the 2nd game of a 3 game home stand following a 110-106 win over the Knicks on Tuesday night. The Celtics have played solid at home (16-9) all season and they have also already knocked off Cleveland in their lone meeting earlier this season. Many expect the revenge factor to play slightly in the hands of the Cavaliers, but the Celtics are the slight favorites for the match-up. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Dallas Mavericks host the Los Angeles Lakers Wednesday night at 9:00 eastern on ESPN. The Mavericks have been off since their 91-82 victory over the Pacers on Monday night. In that game, Dirk Nowitzki led the Mavericks with 23 points and newly acquired center Brendan Haywood dominated the boards with 20 rebounds. However despite winning 4 straight games, Dallas faces a huge home test against the Lakers. Despite the Lakers who have been without superstar Kobe Bryant, they have won 4 of their last 5 games with only a one point heartbreaking loss to Boston in that stretch. ]]></description>
