SEASON POINTS +/-

PICKS ATS

The Clippers and Hornets meet for the first time this season on Saturday, and both arrive with identical records — but very different streaks. Los Angeles has dominated this matchup for years, riding a 14-game winning streak over Charlotte, including a clean sweep last season. Their latest outing was a rough one, a 129-101 loss to Orlando despite James Harden putting up 31 points, eight assists and five triples. The Clippers have now dropped nine of their last 10.

Charlotte hasn’t fared much better lately. The Hornets fell 127-118 to Indiana, though Kon Knueppel impressed with 28 points, eight boards, seven assists and five threes, while Miles Bridges added 25. They’ve lost seven of their last eight — but get a boost with Brandon Miller available to return.

PICK – OVER 228.5 TOTAL POINTS

NEW YORK KNICKS @ ORLANDO MAGIC

Amway Center, Orlando, FL

TEAM TRENDS

• The home team has covered the line in 16 of the Knicks’ last 17 games.
• The Knicks have lost their last 6 road games vs Eastern opponents.
• Eleven of the last 14 meetings between these teams have gone UNDER.

WIN/LOSS

SEASON POINTS +/-

PICKS ATS

The Magic and Knicks both come in with nine wins, but Orlando holds the early-season edge after taking the first matchup 124-107 behind a 28-point night from Franz Wagner. The Magic are rolling at home, fresh off a 129-101 win over the Clippers, where Jalen Suggs delivered 23 points, seven assists and five threes. They’ve now won four straight at Kia Center, even with Paolo Banchero still out.

New York is coming off a tight 113-111 win over Dallas, powered by Jalen Brunson’s 28 points. The Knicks will arrive looking to correct one trend — they’ve dropped six straight conference road games and need to flip that momentum.

PICK – UNDER 229.5 TOTAL POINTS

WASHINGTON WIZARDS @ CHICAGO BULLS

United Center, Chicago, IL

TEAM TRENDS

• The underdogs have covered the line in each of the Bulls’ last 7 games.
• The Wizards have lost their last 13 games.
• Each of the Bulls’ last 7 games on the second leg of a back-to-back have gone OVER the total.
• The Wizards have lost the first half in each of their last 11 games.

WIN/LOSS

SEASON POINTS +/-

PICKS ATS

Both teams roll into this one on the second night of a back-to-back, and neither is bringing much momentum. The Bulls took last year’s series 3-1 including two comfortable home wins — and they’ll hope returning to United Center helps steady things after getting crushed 143-107 by Miami. Josh Giddey (19 points, 11 rebounds, nine assists) was the lone bright spot, and with Coby White expected back, Chicago will look to avoid a fifth straight conference loss.

Washington arrives in even rougher shape. The Wizards were blown out 140-110 in Toronto, extending their losing streak to 13 while continuing to play without Alex Sarr.

PICK – OVER 244.5 TOTAL POINTS

DETROIT PISTONS @ MILWAUKEE BUCKS

Fiserv Forum, Milwaukee, WI

TEAM TRENDS

• 9 of the last 10 games between the Pistons and Bucks have gone OVER the total.
• The Pistons have won 11 straight games.
• The Bucks have failed to cover in 7 of their last 8 games after coming off overtime.
• The Bucks have won the 1st quarter in 18 of their last 19 home games vs Detroit.

WIN/LOSS

SEASON POINTS +/-

PICKS ATS

The Bucks have owned this matchup for years, riding a 13-game winning streak against Detroit and sweeping last season’s series. They return home after a 123-114 overtime loss to Philadelphia, where Ryan Rollins stepped up with 32 points, six rebounds and a career-high 14 assists while Giannis Antetokounmpo sat out. Milwaukee will try to reset after seeing an eight-game streak against the 76ers snapped.

Detroit comes in red-hot. The Pistons beat Atlanta 120-112 behind Cade Cunningham’s 25 points, six rebounds and 10 assists, plus Jalen Duren’s 24 points. They’ve now won 11 straight — their longest run since 2004 — and could get Tobias Harris and Jaden Ivey back.

PICK – OVER 224.5 TOTAL POINTS
