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

Hornets (12-7) at Raptors (10-12), 9:35 a.m.
Pick: Hornets -2
“Brunch with Jamario Moon” is not quite the same thing as “Breakfast at Wimbledon.”

Heat (12-10) at Grizzlies (8-15), 1:05 p.m.
Pick: Grizzlies +1.5
It’s about time for Marc Gasol’s once-a-week breakout game that makes all 4,382 Grizzlies fans forget, at least momentarily, about his older brother’s fire-sale departure.

Thunder (2-22) at Spurs (14-8), 4:05 p.m.
Pick: Spurs -16.5
I would be more interested in seeing OKC make a run for 9-73 than in watching the Celtics, Cavs or Lakers go for 72-10.

Timberwolves (4-18) at Lakers (19-3), 6:35 p.m.
Pick: Timberwolves +15.5
The Lakers just aren’t running it up like they used to.

Yesterday: 5-5
Season record: 167-175-4
