There are 8 games on the NBA slate on Friday, as the Halloween action looks set to be scary good. More undefeated teams try to keep their perfect starts in tact when the Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers take to the floor on the final night of October. With this huge slate let’s not waste any more time and jump straight into my picks for each of the games with lines and odds courtesy of bet365. As always, find our NBA predictions for all of the action every day.
Celtics vs 76ers best bet: 76ers ML (-110)
The 76ers are so far undefeated this season and boast of one of the most exciting backcourts in the league. With Joel Embiid coming off 2 straight 20-point games, they should have too much firepower for the Celtics.

Hawks vs Pacers best bet: Hawks -2.5 (-110)
Pascal Siakam is struggling to carry the Pacers squad. He will have a tough matchup with Jalen Johnson and Kristaps Porzingis defending the paint. With 7 players listed out, the hosts will struggle to compete.
Raptors vs Cavaliers best bet: Over 239.5 (-110)
The Raptors are 4th in pace, top half of the league in offensive rating and second to last in defensive rating. With the Cavaliers playing up tempo basketball too, ranking 11th in pace, this one has all the makings of a high scoring game.

Knicks vs Bulls best bet: Bulls ML (+160)
The Bulls are off to a hot start this season and take on a Knicks team yet to win on the road. The hosts have been 6th in the offensive and defensive rating and seem to have taken a leap this year. Seem like great value at home tonight.
Lakers vs Grizzlies best bet: Under 238.5 (-110)
Luka Doncic is questionable to play here which could leave this as a straight matchup between Austin Reaves and Ja Morant. I do not see enough scoring around these 2 players to help the over hit in this one.

Nuggets vs Blazers best bet: Under 240.5 (-110)
These teams have been 2 of the stand outs defensively to open the season, ranking 5tb and 6th respectively in defensive rating. With Jamal Murray questionable to play and Donovan Clingan possessing the size to really impact Nikola Jokic, take the under in this one.
Jazz vs Suns best bet: Jazz ML (+125)
The Suns had no answer for Lauri Markkanen when these sides last met, with the Finish star dropping 51 points in a win. With the Jazz ranked 4th in offensive rating and the Suns just 25th, take the team that has been far smoother scoring the rock, especially with Jalen Green out.

Pelicans vs Clippers best bet: Clippers -11 (-110)
The Pelicans are coming into this with an air of desperation, having dropped 2 straight games by 30 or more points and signing and bringing in Deandre Jordan straight to their starting 5. The Clippers have more than enough talent to compound their misery.
