NBA Pickem Week 8: 40-for-40 Edition: There are nine national NBA games to pick this week, starting with Bucks/Hawks and Suns/Nuggets tonight on ESPN and ending with Heat/Hawks and Suns/Grizzles Monday on TNT. I'm holding on to first by just 3 after a rough week all around where the high score was 13 by Ufez. Make your picks with the consistency of the Miami Heat taking free throws.

A last-minute change of heart in the Nets/Pelicans game last week led to an 18-point swing. Maybe second-guessing myself isn't always a bad thing.

Jaylen Brown out with groin soreness for Celtics vs Nets. No longer a slam dunk, but I think someone will pick up the slack.
