The Hawks have dropped the last 3 including back to back games to the Heat although tonight’s game will be against their first Western Conference side. Gun PG Trae Young has made a miraculous recovery from an ankle sprain which improves their chances.
Spurs just.

THE RUB
Hard to go past the Lakers at the moment who have not missed a beat since dropping the first game of the season on opening night.
Their last two wins have come on the road and this will be their first venture East for the season. AD against his home crowd, that says enough for us.
OUR PICK – LA Lakers -6.5

THE RUB
The Magic have been well below last season’s output, however three of their four losses have come against the Bucks, Nuggets and Raptors. Not the easiest of opponents.
Could be a good bounce back game for Orlando.

THE RUB
Game of the day – Miami are looking to improve to 6-1 and along with the 76ers, an early front runner in the East, while the Nuggets are riding the wave of expectations, albeit with some low performances by their superstars Jokic and Murray.
We are not doubting the Heat could get it done in the Mile High City, but more comfortable in the home team taking the W tonight.
OUR PICK – Denver -4.5
