The Pistons (3–2) are rolling into Mexico City with confidence after a big 135–116 win over Orlando. Cade Cunningham was all over the stat sheet with 30 points, 10 assists, six rebounds, and a handful of defensive plays, while Jalen Duren added a strong 21 points and 13 boards. Detroit’s offense is clicking at 110.0 PPG, and Cunningham — who averaged 37.5 against Dallas last year — continues to drive the tempo.
The Dallas Mavericks (2–3) are hoping to keep things steady after edging Indiana 107–105, marking their fourth win in five against Eastern teams. They’re putting up 108.0 PPG, though their defense (118.0 OPPG) remains shaky. With Anthony Davis sidelined, Dallas has struggled to find rhythm, losing seven of their last eight without him, meaning Luka Dončić will likely shoulder most of the load in this international matchup.

The Orlando Magic (3–4) head into Atlanta with some momentum after cruising past Washington 125–94. Paolo Banchero led the way with 28 points and 11 rebounds on 9-of-15 shooting, while Franz Wagner chipped in 25 points and six assists. Orlando’s offense looked sharp, shooting over 50% from the floor, and the team has now won 12 of its last 14 when Banchero hits at least 60%. The Magic are averaging 113.5 PPG this season and seem to be finding rhythm again after a rocky start.
The Atlanta Hawks (1–4) are still trying to steady the ship after a 117–109 loss to Cleveland, where Jalen Johnson posted 23 points and 13 rebounds with Trae Young sidelined. The Hawks have dropped three straight at home and continue to struggle defensively, giving up 122.5 PPG through five games. Atlanta did beat Orlando 111–107 earlier this season but will need more balance on both ends to get back in the win column.
PICK – ORLANDO -4.5

The Philadelphia 76ers (5–0) hit the road riding a perfect start after cruising past Brooklyn 129–105. Quentin Grimes dished out a career-high 13 assists to go with 22 points, while Tyrese Maxey dropped 26 points and Kelly Oubre Jr. added 29. Even without Joel Embiid, Philly’s offense has been rolling, averaging 129.3 PPG—the best mark in the league—while ranking second in point differential at +5.5. The Sixers have now won six straight when Grimes and Maxey combine for 45 or more points.
The Chicago Bulls (3–1) are looking to bounce back after their first loss of the season, a 128–116 defeat to New York. Josh Giddey recorded a monster triple-double with 23 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists, while Nikola Vučević added 17 points and 14 boards. Chicago’s balanced attack has helped them average 117.7 PPG with a solid +7.0 differential, and they’ll be eager to defend home court after splitting last year’s series with Philly.

The New Orleans Pelicans (0–4) are still searching for their first win of the season and will try to turn things around at home, where they’ve won three straight against Charlotte. New Orleans dropped its last outing 137–106 to Oklahoma City despite Zion Williamson’s 20 points, nine rebounds, and six assists. The Pelicans are averaging 109.3 PPG but allowing 123.3 PPG, a defensive gap that’s fueled their franchise-record-tying 13-game losing streak dating back to last season. Both Williamson and Yves Missi are questionable for this one.
The Charlotte Hornets (3–3) come in fresh off a convincing 126–103 win over Utah. Miles Bridges led the way with 29 points and six assists, while rookie Kon Knueppel added 24 in an impressive all-around showing. Charlotte’s offense has been clicking at 128.3 PPG, but road struggles remain a concern—the Hornets have lost 11 of their last 12 away from home. LaMelo Ball is questionable after missing the previous game with an injury.

The Golden State Warriors (4–3) return home looking to bounce back after a 114–109 loss to Indiana, where Jimmy Butler led with 20 points, seven assists, and three steals. Despite that stumble, Golden State has been strong in divisional matchups, winning six of its last seven, and continues to post solid numbers on both ends—averaging 120.8 PPG with a +5.6 differential. The Warriors have relied heavily on Stephen Curry’s scoring while integrating Butler’s playmaking into a balanced rotation.
The Phoenix Suns (2–3) are hoping Sunday’s 130–118 win over San Antonio marks a turning point. Devin Booker led the charge with 28 points and 13 assists on 10-of-15 shooting as Phoenix snapped a three-game skid. Still, the Suns have struggled on the road, dropping 11 straight away from home dating back to last season. Their offense remains potent at 116.8 PPG, but they’ll need to clean up defensively (129.0 OPPG) to keep pace with Golden State’s high-powered attack.

The Los Angeles Clippers (3–3) return home on short rest after a tough 120–119 loss to Miami, where James Harden went off for 29 points, eight assists, and six threes, while Kawhi Leonard added 27 points and four steals. The Clippers have been up and down early but still boast one of the league’s stingiest defenses, allowing just 109.0 PPG through six games. They’ll look to regroup at Intuit Dome, where they’ve been perfect so far this season.
The Oklahoma City Thunder (6–0) are flying high as the NBA’s last unbeaten team after a 137–106 rout of New Orleans. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander poured in 30 points with seven assists, while Isaiah Hartenstein flirted with a triple-double. The Thunder have now won nine straight when SGA scores 30 or more, and they’re averaging 118.2 PPG with a +7.4 differential, both top-three marks in the league. Chet Holmgren is expected back, while Luguentz Dort and Ajay Mitchell remain questionable.
PICK – OKLAHOMA CITY -7.5
