These are always some tricky ones here to try and gauge. The Bulls fired their coach yesterday and not that it will help matters in the long run but generally you get a good effort following something like that. With Lauri back in the lineup and Oladipo still out and the Pacers coming off a a west coast trip. Sets up for a flat spot for them. Will take a chance with the Bulls to cover here in this division rivalry game

Both of these teams have had drastic turns. The Nuggets started off very hot while the Thunder slow and now the Thunder actually have a better record now.

We are already getting a discount on the Cavs here as these teams just met less than two weeks ago and the Cavs went off favored by 8. I know the Cavs haven't won yet and are without Love, but they have more talent than Atlanta. The Hawks last time they played made 22 3's for the game you think that will happen here? I also see a motivated Cavs team with a new coach as well. The Cavs also have had two days of rest while the Hawks just played last night.

I look for the well rested Nuggets here to come out and really take it to the Pelicans here who are also off to a hot start. I think more of the Pelicans is in large part because they have played an easier schedule and also only 1 road game. Throw in that New Orleans has some injuries right now and they have Golden St on deck I think Denver is prime for a blowout win here.

I will take the young team here who will have more energy in this game.

I'm going to lay it with the Knicks here who haven't won since their 1st game of the season. First the Nets are coming off a high energy game yesterday giving the Warriors all they could handle in just a 6 point loss. These teams have already met as well with the Nets beating the Knicks by just 2 points. The Knicks were just horrible 40% from the field in that game and yet still had a chance to win. They won't shoot that bad this time around obviously and laying a short number with revenge I think they get the job done

I will admit I could be way off here on this one because it's the classic Western vs Eastern Conference situation. I just think from what we have seen so far this Magic team is vastly improved. They could easily be 3-1 if it wasn't for a 1 point loss to the Sixers. This will also be the Trailblazers first road game of the season. Magic just won outright as a double digit dog @ Boston and now return home after a couple days off in another dog role. I think they win again tonight
