Analyst: Todd Cordell
- Bulls moneyline
- Josh Giddey Over 7.5 rebounds
- Norman Powell Over 19.5 points
Cordell is backing Chicago to bounce back after its season-opening loss, with Giddey positioned to make an impact on the glass. Milwaukee struggled with rebounding in its opener, creating an opportunity for the versatile guard to exceed his line. Powell rounds out the combo after a strong track record of scoring at least 20 points in high-total games and against teams that allow favorable three-point opportunities.

Raptors vs. Wizards combo: 6.39x
Analyst: Chris Walder
- Raptors moneyline
- Under 236.5
- Kawhi Leonard Under 24.5 points
Walder expects Toronto to build on its dominant season-opening performance against a revamped Washington lineup. The Raptors' defense could help keep the total in check, making the Under a natural fit alongside the moneyline. Leonard's scoring Under completes the combination, with the star forward still working his way back into game shape after an inefficient shooting performance in the opener.

Knicks vs. Celtics combo: 6.23x
Analyst: Juan Carlos Blanco
- Knicks +2.5
- Jalen Brunson Over 34.5 points + rebounds + assists
- Derrick White Over 2.5 made 3-pointers
Blanco expects the Knicks to respond after a disappointing season opener and keep this matchup within a couple of points. Brunson's all-around production is central to that game script, while White's three-point prop benefits from his increased offensive responsibility and strong history of shooting from deep against New York.

Mavericks vs. Pacers combo: 6.48x
Analyst: Zak Hanshew
- Pacers -5.5
- Over 237.5
- Ivica Zubac Over 11.5 rebounds
Hanshew sees Indiana's up-tempo offense creating problems for a Dallas team dealing with frontcourt depth concerns. The Pacers' scoring potential supports the Over, while Zubac gets a favorable rebounding setup against a Mavericks interior missing key contributors. His 15 rebounds in the season opener provide an encouraging starting point for the big man's prop.

Pistons vs. Heat combo: 10.04x
Analyst: Ed Scimia
- Pistons -1.5
- Under 235.5
- Jalen Duren 20+ points
Scimia is backing Detroit after the Pistons rallied for a season-opening win, while Miami continues to work out its new-look lineup. The Under fits with the teams' recent head-to-head results and Miami's opening-game total. Duren's scoring leg adds upside: he averaged 19.5 points per game last season and faces a Heat team that surrendered 131 points in its opener.

Rockets vs. Spurs combo: 5.47x
Analyst: Geoff Clark
- Stephon Castle 1+ steals
- Spurs moneyline
- Under 224.5
Clark expects San Antonio to respond after its loss to Oklahoma City and has the Spurs winning outright. The Under is his top pick, with both teams playing at a neutral venue in Austin and Houston potentially facing shooting regression after an exceptionally efficient opener. Castle's steal prop complements that defensive game script.

Clippers vs. Lakers combo: 7.62x
Analyst: Chris Walder
- Walker Kessler Over 14.5 points
- Under 225.5
- Brook Lopez Over 4.5 rebounds
Walder combines Kessler's scoring potential with an Under on the game total and a rebounding prop for Lopez. The Clippers and Lakers have leaned toward the Under in recent head-to-head meetings, while Kessler's perfect shooting performance in the opener offers reason to expect another prominent role in the Lakers' offense. Lopez could also see an opportunity to contribute on the glass while matching up with a bigger frontcourt.

Grizzlies vs. Warriors combo: 7.30x
Analyst: Geoff Clark
- Warriors -4.5
- Ty Jerome 3+ made threes
- Draymond Green 6+ assists
Clark expects Golden State to bounce back at home after its season-opening loss to the Lakers. The Warriors' continuity and home-court shooting advantage give them an opportunity to pull away against a young Memphis roster. Green's playmaking should help create quality looks for Golden State, while Jerome's three-point prop could benefit if the Grizzlies are forced to chase the game and lean more heavily on their offense.
