These two teams met just 2 days ago in Philadelphia and the Cavs dominated all 48 minutes. Donovan Mitchell has been particularly hot against this team, averaging over 39 points per game in 3 meetings. I’m doubling down on the Cavs here, back them to go up 3-0 in the regular season series.

The Pelicans won 128-109 when these two sides met in December, and New Orleans is the more motivated side having traded away their pick this summer. The Pels beat another tanking team, the Brooklyn Nets, in their last game. The Pacers returned to losing ways with a 15-point loss at a depleted Raptors team, so the Pelicans look good with the points.

The Raptors have a hefty injury list, and they meet a Clippers side who have won four on the spin. LA have struggled against teams with winning records, but they have won 11 of their last 13 games, and they should benefit from Toronto potentially missing their entire second unit.

The Kings have won each of their last three games, making the most of a prolonged run at home. They’ve won each of those games by a minimum of 11 points, and they meet a Wizards side who got back to losing ways after trading for Trae Young. With the former All Star ruled out through injury, the Wizards have suffered four consecutive blow-outs to boost their hopes of a top pick this summer.
