Neither side has impressed in the early going, but the Magic will be amped up to get a result in this NBA Cup game. The duo of Banchero and Wagner will be too much to handle for the Celtics. Orlando allows the fewest attempts from three in the entire NBA. With the Cs relying heavily on the deep ball to score points, this could be a struggle for them.

The Wizards lost by 29-points to a weakened Boston side in their last game. Cleveland bounced back from a defeat in their NBA Cup opener by claiming wins over Philadelphia and Atlanta. They should have an easier time against this poor Wizards side. Point differential is a tie-breaker in the NBA Cup, so the Cavs have plenty of motivation to win big and cover this line.

The Bulls are 6-1, while they beat the Knicks to make a winning start in the NBA Cup. The Bucks have lost two of their last three games, including a 28-point thumping against the Raptors. Back a buoyant Bulls side with the points.

The Thunder lost their first game of the season last time out, while key defender Lou Dort remains a doubt after missing that game. The Kings have won two of their last three, losing a competitive clash with the Nuggets in the other, so back them to keep within 10 points of the Thunder after narrowly losing when the pair met in OKC.

The Spurs have suffered back-to-back defeats against the Suns and Lakers, while they meet a Houston team who have won five on the spin. The Rockets have the tallest starting five in the NBA, so back them to nullify the Spurs and secure a victory.

The Raptors thumped Atlanta on the road in their opener, before losing a string of games due to defensive issues. They’ve addressed those issues and have put together a three-game winning run, while Toronto has a shot at a first truly competitive NBA Cup campaign.

After some defensive struggles limited his minutes, Dick has got back into the mix as the Raptors’ fortunes have turned. He scored eight points in a win over Memphis, before recording 14 against the Bucks.
