Careless turnovers cost the Pacers last out in a surprise loss to Mavs, however 6 players scoring in double figures was a positive. Bulls are flying having won 8 of their last 10. With Oladipo out, we like the Bulls to keep rolling.

Pelicans have won 3 straight, with Rondo dishing 25 dimes last out. This is a tough one, however with the MAvs healthy it should be close. Little faith in the Pelicans. Unders best.

OKC should have some extra swagger after breaking the Raptors losing streak last out, and having won 6 in a row in their own right. OKC for the win, but Bucks have avoided blowouts. Line for the Bucks best.
