The Mavs looks to bounce back from a surprise home defeat to the Pacers, when they welcome the Bulls to Dallas.
Chicago has started this season better than most pundits expected, pushing the ball up the court with pace and shooting volume threes.
The Bulls are 3-4 across two weeks of action and 2-2 on the road, but are now two games without a win off the back of a disappointing showing to Utah.
Alternatively, the Mavs are 4-3 to start the season, despite starting six games as the bookies favourite.
Dallas are 2-4 against the spread as favourites this season, and I don’t think they be covering the double digit points line here.
The 2024 and 2022 NBA Champions meet in Boston as the Celts play host to the Warriors.
Both sides enter this fixture in ominous form, the Dubs have started the season 6-1, 4-0 on the road, while the Celts are 7-1, and 2-0 at TD Garden.
Jayson Tatum has started the season on fire, averaging 30-7-5 and will be asked to do a lot of heavy lifting in this game with Jaylen Brown sidelined through injury.
On the Dubs’ side of the fence, new signing Buddy Hield has filled the Play Thompson void seamlessly, averaging 22 points off the bench, hitting 4.7 three point field goals per game.
I’m backing both Tatum and Hield to hit 3+ 3PT field goals.
