The Hornets have lost back-to-back games, scoring 89 and 79 points in disappointing defeats. The Sixers are 5-1 for the season, and they have enough depth to deal with the Hornets, even if a couple of their superstars are held out.

The Pelicans ended their 0-4 start with a victory over Sacramento, but this is a much tougher test. The Hawks beat Cleveland 114-111 in their last game, and they opened the season with big wins over the Orlando Magic and Charlotte Hornets.

The Bucks can really score, but their 132-100 defeat to the Houston Rockets last time out highlighted their defensive issues. The Cavs have given up at least 111 points in each of their five games this season despite a 3-2 record, so back the over in this game.

Incredibly, Memphis are the last unbeaten team in the NBA. Their brilliant start continued with a 124-103 win over Portland, in a game which they started as underdogs. The Grizzlies now meet the worst team in the league, with the Clippers starting 0-5, and they have lost those games by an average of 16.6 points. The Grizzlies won 123-112 at the Kings earlier this week, so take them to cover again.
