Halloween night marked the start of the NBA Cup, but the action doesn’t stop there. Saturday brings us another fun 6-game slate with a pair of early tipoffs on the East coast.
I’ve prepared picks for every single game taking place tonight, so let’s not waste any more time and get straight into them. Odds are courtesy of FanDuel, don’t forget to check our NBA picks for in-depth previews on every single game!
Kings vs Bucks: Over 233
The last 10 meetings have averaged 249.2 points per game and the O/U record is 8-2 in those games. With Giannis Antetokounmpo being questionable, I am hesitant to pull the trigger on Milwaukee. Let’s back the points instead.

Timberwolves vs Hornets: Over 229.5
The 2 sides are a combined 8-2 on the O/U in their first 10 games combined, while in head-to-head meetings that record is at 7-3 O/U. An average of 235.2 points has been scored in those games, so I’m backing the over.

Warriors vs Pacers: Warriors -10.5
Indiana just played last night and got pummeled by a shorthanded Hawks side 128-108. The Pacers have 7 players out injured right now; they’ll have a hard time keeping up with these Warriors.
Magic vs Wizards: Magic -8.5
Orlando needs to rack up some wins ASAP following a disappointing 2-4 SU start. Of the 4 defeats this season, the Wizards have lost 3 of them by double-digits. I’m feeling confident in backing Orlando.
Rockets vs Celtics: Celtics +5.5
Boston comes into this one following an impressive win at Philadelphia to kickstart the NBA Cup. They C’s are 8-2 SU in 10 meetings, right now they’re riding an 8-game winning streak against West opponents. I can’t see them losing by more than 5 points.
Mavericks vs Pistons: Pistons -7.5
The injury situation in Dallas just keeps getting worse. The Mavs just announced Anthony Davis will miss a couple of weeks. Detroit just beat Houston, Boston and Orlando in 3 of its last 4 games. Add Dallas to that list after tonight.
