Washington are on the second leg of a back-to-back after a 119-97 loss to the Hornets last night in Charlotte as -2.0 favorites. The Wizards made just 9 of their 40 3-point attempts and shot just 38% overall.

On Saturday, Chicago outscored Orlando by 18 points during the 2nd quarter and went on to a 118-92 road win.

Both rank in the top 3 in the league in tempo and the bottom 3rd of the league in defensive efficiency, so Overs tempting.

The first meeting this season was a high-scoring 133-130 Chicago win in Washington.

Chicago win in a high-scoring affair.

MATCHUP FACT – The Bulls have lost the first half in 8 of their last 10 games at United Center.

Toronto have won 3 of their last 4 and rank near the bottom of the league in rebounding  at just 42.7 rpg. On Saturday, Toronto allowed Atlanta to shoot 57%  from the floor in a 132-121 road loss.

Memphis hope to put an end to a 3-game losing streak after being outscored by 10 points in the 4th quarter of a 118-109 road loss to the Pelicans.

Raptos starting to regain some swagger.

PICK – TORONTO -2.5

PLAYER PROP BET

Toronto will be eager to get back on track after losing to the Hawks 132-121 and Pascal Siakam is our man to get the ball rolling.

After a slow start to the season, Siakam is finding his swagger, scoring 30+ in 3 of his last 5  games.

Over the last 7 days, Memphis have allowed a huge 40.9 points to PFs.

The undermanned Grizzlies will struggle to contain Siakam.

PICK – PASCAL SIAKAM OVER 20.5 PTS (32 PTS)

Denver have lost two-straight after dropping to 12-10 after a 119-114 loss on Saturday to Sacramento. 50 points from Nikola Jokic was just not enough to cover for the loss of Jamal Murray (knee). Murray is a game-time decision in this one.
