(Today’s installment of your faithful reporter’s quest to prognosticate all 1,230 NBA regular-season games this season.)

Trail Blazers (11-6) at Pistons (10-5), 12:05 p.m.
Pick: Trail Blazers +4
Hey Blazers, trust me from personal fantasy-league experience: Mike Conley is not the answer.

Bulls (7-9) at 76ers (7-9), 2:05 p.m.
Pick: Bulls +6
I got a packet of free razors in the mail as a promotional item. Would it help Drew Gooden if I sent them to him?

Rockets (11-6) at Nuggets (11-6), 5:05 p.m.
Pick: Nuggets -4.5
Whoops. I was wrong, J.R. Smith is doing knuckleheaded things. He’s just doing it more quietly than Allen Iverson.

Nets (8-7) at Suns (11-6), 5:05 p.m.
Pick: Suns -9
The Nets are really above .500? Seriously?

Raptors (8-7) at Lakers (13-1), 6:35 p.m.
Pick: Lakers -12.5
The Lake Show is only 3-3 as a double-digit favorite.

Yesterday: 6-5
Season record: 122-121-3
