THE RUB
The pressure is on the Bulls after starting the season in similar fashion to last year, without the injuries. Dropping games to Charlotte and New York, if Cleveland are added to that list already, alarm bells will be ringing.

The Magic haven’t found their mojo on the road yet and will be liking playing tonight on home court. The Knicks are bad but not +9.0 bad, will be closer than expected.

THE RUB
The Celtics had theirs hands full in the post season last year when they faced Giannis and the Bucks. With issues in their big man department, Milwaukee should have an advantage there in the paint. A small-ball Boston outfit would be their only solution.
OUR PICK – Milwaukee WIN

THE RUB
For likely post season participants, a loss would be a bad result for either team tonight. The Nets have dropped two games in OT and look the more formidable of the two. Indiana are starting to show the gap Oladipo has left.

The Rockets’ first road game and trip East of the season. THe Wizards have always struggled to suppress the scoring output of Harden and adding Westbrook doesn’t make things easier.

THE RUB
The Kings don’t want to go 0-5 and put dent in reaching that 40 win mark so expect them to get it done. This will be the final leg of the Hornets’ California trip, 0-3 coming.
OUR PICK – Sacramento WIN

THE RUB
It’s never a good move to go against Kawhi but on the road to Salt Lake City, it will be a tough ask. This would be a great game if PG13 was healthy with both teams having multiple lineups to throw out on the court.
OUR PICK – Utah -1.5
PHOENIX @ GOLDEN STATE
Trends
- Under is 6-1 in Suns last 7 vs teams below .500.
- Over is 7-3 in Warriors last 10 overall.

| Golden St | Over | Phoenix |

THE RUB
We can’t get too carried away with the Warriors’ first win of the season against the Pelicans. They are still letting in 128.0 points per game and against a team like Phoenix, a shoot out between Curry and Booker is more likely.
OUR PICK – Over 228.5
