THE RUB
The Bulls basically took the 1st quarter off last night and threw the game at home to the Heat, while the Hornets just fell short to the Wizards in a high scoring encounter.
Both teams coming off a B2B so there are always a lot of unknowns.
The Hornets got the better of Chicago on opening day but our ongoing theme here is to stay away from the Bulls in our betslip.
OUR PICK – Under 219.5
ORLANDO @ INDIANA

THE RUB
After starting the season 0-3, the Pacers turned the corner and have been 8-3 since and doing so with Turner and Brogdon missing time.
With Brogdon set to miss again, it will be up to Turner and Sabonis to pick up the slack, and the Pacers have an edge tonight with the Magic missing Vucevic and possibly Gordon.
Home team just, or stay away.
OUR PICK – Indiana WIN

| +2.0 | 219.0 | 111-104 |
THE RUB
After losing to the 76ers last night, the Spurs are on an 8 game skid, their worst since the 96/97 season.
No game is easy and while we would expect the Spurs of old to take care of business, this has danger game written all over it.
New York almost stole the victory on the road a month ago, at home with their opponent on a B2B has us swayed to the upset.
OUR PICK – New York WIN

THE RUB
Philadelphia are yet to lose a game on home court this season sitting on 6-0 and get to defend their record against a familiar acquaintance in Jimmy Butler.
With the forward opting to take his talents to South Beach, the 76ers fans will give him a warm welcome.
OUR PICK – Philadelphia -4.5

The Blazers will be looking for their first win since Carmelo Anthony signed and may get some help with Lillard and Whiteside likely to return.
The Cavs have lost 6 straight, their last 4 all losses of 18+ points.
OUR PICK – Portland -4.0

THE RUB
The Lakers lead the league at 13-2 which is even more impressive when you take into account one of those two losses occurred on opening night. Another factor in their favor so early in the year is that this is just their second B2B for the season.
Hopeful that they will continue the wins but Memphis could keep it close.
OUR PICK – LA Lakers WIN

THE RUB
The Pistons got their first win since Blake Griffin returned but it doesn’t get any easier tonight as they travel to Milwaukee to take on the East leaders.
The Bucks have won 6 straight and their MVP Giannis is just about unstoppable this season, averaging 30 ppg, 14 rpg and 6 ast per game.
OUR PICK – Milwaukee -12.0

THE RUB
The Jazz just got over the line at home last night against a Warriors line up that featured not one past Champion or All-star.
Utah will likely win being at home but they aren’t necessarily a sure thing which their roster would suggest.
OUR PICK – Under 222.5
