Expert NBA preseason moneyline predictions for October 11
Mavericks vs Rockets: 
Rockets
The Houston Rockets ran out to a 135-117 win over the Dallas Mavericks in Macao on Friday.
I'm expecting more of the same on Sunday morning, especially as the NBA has made a point of having its teams run out consistent lineups that include starters for its China Games.
Magic vs Cavaliers: 
Cavaliers
The Cleveland Cavaliers limited their starters in their first preseason game on Wednesday, with Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and company playing just 17 minutes each.
Cleveland should extend its key players, while the Orlando Magic have several questions when it comes to availability on Sunday, with Jalen Suggs, Anthony Black, Noah Penda and Jonathan Isaac all having reasons to potentially sit this one out.
That has me backing Cleveland for Sunday's matchup.
Bucks vs Hornets: 
Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks pulled off a two-point win against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday, with Myles Turner leading five players who scored in double digits while playing over 20 minutes each.
With the Charlotte Hornets coming off a 34-point loss in their preseason opener, I'm backing the Bucks to win.
Bulls vs Nuggets: 
Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets have showcased their depth in their first two preseason games, while Nikola Jokic has demonstrated his incredible passing ability.
The Chicago Bulls have also been digging deep into their bench this preseason, but they’ve given significantly more minutes to players who are unlikely to see much action during the regular season.
With that in mind, I’m picking Denver to come away with the win on Sunday.
