The Magic have lost 8 straight after an impressive opening month. With Oladipo questionable for tonight, Orlando will see this as an opportunity to get back on the winner’s list. Very risky this one, best to stay away.

Big test for both teams here. The Cavs are going for their 8th straight win while the 76ers are on the hype train. Embiid is talking trash while Simmons is being compared to LeBron. Will this be the game where the King lets the new kids in town know their place? Any doubts, take the Over when available.

1 & 2 in the East lock horns for the first time this season. Traditional conference rivals that will more gauge how far the Pistons have come as we are all convinced the Celtics are legit.

The Blazers are going for 2 wins in their trip to New York with a tight victory in Brooklyn the other night. The Knicks have been solid at home with a 9-3 record although check back around game time to see which Knicks suits up with Porzingis and Kanter suspect.

Its a matter of how much instead of if. The Rockets enjoy a beat down and may post some massive numbers tonight ala the Suns game.

The Spurs welcome back Tony Parker and go for round 2 against their Texas rival. These games are always close regardless of form but Spurs basketball usually takes the chocolates. If your confidence is waning, take the Under.

Similar to the Houston game but could be even messier. The Warriors are managing any niggle with their Superstar lineup and whoever takes the court tonight will get the job done!

The Clippers have had their way with the Lakers winning the last 4 contests. However, injuries have seriously changed the Clipper trajectory this season where the Lakers are almost at full fitness. Depends which version of either team shows up tonight, take the Under to be sure.
Best Bet = Under 215.0
