    <font size="3"><font color="DarkOrange">Keys to the game:</font></font>
    Mike Miller is coming off a great performance from the 97-81 victory over the Miami Heat, do not leave him open or Miller will just sink threes on us, look for the previously injured to Pau Gasol to be in rare form, which means Okafor will have his hands full Sunday night. Brezec needs to keep up his great scoring, and Wallace should continue his solid defending.

    Emeka Okafor vs. Pau Gasol
    This matchup may be very interesting to watch. As I stated before Okafor will have his hands full against Gasol as he will be in rare form after being sidelined with injury. Both will be dominant in the paint putting points on the board, but I believe Okafor will suprise us and be the latter in this matchup.</div>

    Memphis vs Charlotte will prove to be a good game to watch, better get the popcorn guys, your going to want to catch this one. Okafor and Gasol will be going at it most of the game and look for Matt Carroll to provide some help off the bench. Score: Bobcats may steal this one- 95-93.</div>

    nice preview. I just don't see Charlotte winning this one. Memphis is going to be to strong for them. Memphis wins 97-90.

    Maybe, but never underestimate the 'Cats, they can take down some tough opponents.
