The Toronto Raptors (6–5) will be eager to bounce back when they visit the Brooklyn Nets (3–8) at Barclays Center. Toronto has dominated this matchup recently, winning three of four meetings last season and both on the road. The Raptors come in after a 130–120 loss to Philadelphia, continuing a rough stretch that’s seen them drop 16 of their last 20 division road games. Despite the loss, Scottie Barnes has been a consistent bright spot, averaging 24.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 6.1 assists through the early season.
Brooklyn, meanwhile, was dismantled 134–98 by the Knicks on Saturday. Michael Porter Jr. led the way with 25 points, but the Nets continue to struggle without Cameron Thomas (out). Brooklyn has lost seven of its last eight without Thomas, scoring just 104.7 points per 100 possessions in that span — nearly eight points lower than when he’s active. To avoid extending their six-game division losing streak, the Nets will need better offensive rhythm and stronger bench contributions.

The New York Knicks (7–4) are rolling into this one with momentum, riding a seven-game home winning streak — their longest stretch at Madison Square Garden since 2013. Karl-Anthony Towns has been leading the charge, fresh off a 28-point, 12-rebound performance on 59% shooting in a 134–98 demolition of the Nets. New York continues to thrive behind elite ball movement and rebounding, ranking top five in both categories. Mitchell Robinson’s status (questionable) could be key, as his rim protection has anchored the Knicks’ defensive surge during this home run.
The Memphis Grizzlies (4–6), on the other hand, are searching for consistency after blowing a 19-point lead in a 114–100 loss to Oklahoma City. Ja Morant’s struggles continued with 3-of-18 shooting, and Memphis is now 0–6 this season when he shoots under 35%. The Grizzlies’ offense has looked stagnant, averaging just 108.5 points per game over their last four outings, while their defense has failed to close games late. To snap their four-game skid against the Knicks, Memphis will need Morant and Desmond Bane to find rhythm early and attack the paint against New York’s interior.

BOSTON CELTICS @ PHILADELPHIA 76ERS
Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA
TEAM TRENDS
- The 76ers have failed to cover the line in 15 of their last 17 home games vs teams with a losing record.
- The Celtics have won 10 of their last 11 games on the first leg of a back-to-back.
- 5 of the last 6 meetings between the Celtics and 76ers have gone OVERS.

The Boston Celtics (6–6) are finding their stride after a tight 111–107 win over Orlando, powered by Anfernee Simons’ 25 points and five triples on 62% shooting. Boston’s perimeter play remains a strength, ranking top five in three-point accuracy (39.1%), and they’ve shown composure late in games with a 4–1 record in contests decided by five points or fewer. The Celtics will look to continue their dominance in the Atlantic Division, where they’ve posted a 30–9 record across their last 39 games. Consistency from Jaylen Brown and a balanced bench effort could be key in keeping that trend alive.
The Philadelphia 76ers (7–5) have cooled off after a hot start, dropping a 111–108 heartbreaker to Detroit despite another stellar Tyrese Maxey performance (33 points, seven assists). Philadelphia has struggled to protect home court, losing 15 of their last 18 conference games at Xfinity Mobile Arena, with defense being the primary culprit – opponents are averaging 121.4 points per game during that stretch. Joel Embiid’s return from load management is a major boost, as the 76ers are 8–2 in their last 10 when he plays, giving them a strong chance to reclaim momentum in this Atlantic rivalry matchup.
PICK – BOSTON +1.5

GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS @ OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER

The Oklahoma City Thunder (10–2) return home after a strong road stretch, looking to keep their seven-game home winning streak alive. Their comeback win over Memphis – rallying from 19 points down – showcased this team’s resilience and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s MVP-level form. He poured in 35 points with seven rebounds, continuing a run that’s seen him average 32.1 points per game while shooting 54% from the field this season. The Thunder have also tightened defensively, holding opponents to just 106.2 points per game during their current four-game win streak. Luguentz Dort and Aaron Wiggins remain sidelined, but OKC’s depth has held firm.
The Golden State Warriors (8–5) enter off a dominant 114–83 blowout over Indiana, where Jimmy Butler led a balanced attack with 21 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists on 67% shooting. That win snapped a two-game skid, but Golden State’s road form remains shaky, they’ve dropped seven of their last eight away from home. Stephen Curry’s expected return provides a massive spark, especially for a team shooting just 33% from deep without him. The Warriors will need that spacing and veteran poise to slow Oklahoma City’s dynamic offense and reverse their recent travel woes.
PICK – GOLDEN STATE +7.5

INDIANA PACERS @ UTAH JAZZ
Delta Center, Salt Lake City, UT

The Utah Jazz (5–8) return to action looking to bounce back after a 120–113 loss to Minnesota, where Keyonte George impressed with 27 points and six rebounds. Utah’s offense continues to show flashes, averaging 118.4 points per game at home, but defensive lapses have been costly – opponents are shooting 49.6% from the field over their last five. The Jazz have particularly struggled against the East, dropping 15 of their last 17 games versus conference opponents, and will need stronger interior play from Walker Kessler to steady things against Indiana’s aggressive frontcourt.
The Indiana Pacers (3–9) are desperate to end their road woes after being blown out 114–83 by Golden State, a loss that extended their eight-game road losing streak, matching their longest since 2023. Playing without Pascal Siakam and Aaron Nesmith hurt their rhythm, as the team shot just 39% overall, but both are expected back tonight. T.J. McConnell could also make his season debut, offering much-needed stability off the bench. The Pacers will lean on Tyrese Haliburton’s playmaking (averaging 10.7 assists per game) to reignite an offense that has dipped to 109.2 points per game across their last five outings.

The Sacramento Kings (4–9) are searching for stability after a 144–117 home loss to Minnesota, where Zach LaVine led the way with 26 points and six triples. Sacramento’s defense remains a glaring concern, they’ve allowed 125+ points in four of their last five and now sit near the bottom of the West in defensive efficiency. Offensively, they still rely heavily on perimeter shooting, ranking top five in three-point attempts but just 16th in percentage (35.2%). The Kings have dropped five of their last six conference games, and to get back on track, they’ll need Domantas Sabonis to control the paint against Denver’s elite frontcourt.
The Denver Nuggets (10–3) are rolling after a 117–100 home win over Indiana, led by another masterclass from Nikola Jokic with 32 points, 14 rebounds, and 14 assists on 71% shooting. The reigning champions have now won six straight when Jokic scores 25+, and their offense continues to hum at a league-best 124.1 offensive rating. Even without Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon (both expected back), Denver has maintained its balance, ranking top five in assists and defensive rebounding. The Nuggets will look to make it seven straight against Sacramento and strengthen their grip near the top of the Western Conference standings.
