Milwaukee Bucks @ Charlotte Hornets – 7pm ET
My first pick for this game is for the Milwaukee Bucks Damian Lillard. He has battled some injuries throughout the early part of this season but he looks to be healthy and ready to go for this game on Friday night against the Charlotte Hornets. On the other hand, Giannis Antetokounmpo is currently listed as a gametime decision, which means more responsibility, could fall on the shoulders of Damian Lillard in this game on Friday night on the road in Charlotte. We have seen it time and time again throughout his career, he is more than capable of stepping up to the plate and delivering fantastic performances, and I expect more of the same amount of him in this one. He comes into this game averaging around 24 points per game throughout the early part of the season and I look for him to equal or surpass that number here on Friday night against the Charlotte Hornets. As I look for Damian Lillard to go over his total points in this game as Milwaukee looks to pick up their eighth victory of the regular season in this tournament matchup.
My second pick for this game is for the Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball. He has recorded some questionable performances throughout the early part of the regular season but I look for him to get things on track in this game against Milwaukee. He has been excellent at passing the basketball, but he has been inefficient when it comes to shooting the basketball and that is something that will need to improve if Charlotte wants to find long-term success throughout the regular season. I expect him to put up a solid scoring display here on Friday night at home against the Milwaukee Bucks, as Charlotte looks for a huge statement victory early on in the regular season. For that to happen, LaMelo Ball will have to post an efficient scoring performance in this game and improve upon his points per game as well. He currently comes into this game averaging around 22 points per game on 41% shooting from the field and I expect both those numbers to improve here in this one. As I look for LaMelo Ball to go over his total points here on Friday night against the Milwaukee Bucks.

New York Knicks @ Washington Wizards – 7pm ET
My first pick for this game is for the New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson. He is off to a fantastic start in his second season with the New York Knicks, and he will be looking to keep the momentum rolling here on Friday night on the road against Washington. He has been posting fantastic numbers despite the slow start to the season for the New York Knicks, and he will be looking to help them turn things around and it starts with grabbing a victory on the road here in Washington with a quality performance from Jalen Brunson leading the way. He comes into this game averaging around 23 points per game throughout their first 11 games of the season and he needs to improve upon his shooting percentage as he is only shooting around 47% from the field. New York Knicks have been building up some momentum because of solid performances from Brunson as he has helped lead them to four victories and their last five games, and I expect his solid string of play to continue here on Friday night. As I look for Jalen Brunson to go over his total points against Washington here in this one on the road.
My second pick for this game is for the Washington Wizards, Kyle Kuzma. He is putting up quality numbers throughout the early part of the regular season and he will be looking to continue doing so in this game at home on Friday night against the New York Knicks. When Washington traded for Jordan Poole from the Golden State Warriors many people looked at Poole to be the leader of this team. However, so far Kuzma is still the one holding the flag for the wizards as Jordan Poole has struggled throughout the early part of the year. I expect Kyle Kuzma to record another quality performance here on Friday night at home against the New York Knicks in this tournament game as he looks to lead Washington to a much-needed early season victory. Kuzma comes into this game averaging around 24 points per game throughout the early part of the regular season and I look for him to go over his total points here on Friday night at home against the New York Knicks. As I look for Kuzma post and efficient scoring performance in this game as Washington looks to get things on track early on in the year.

Philadelphia 76ers @ Atlanta Hawks – 7:30pm ET
My first pick for this game is for the current MVP award winner, and the Philadelphia 76ers big man, Joel Embiid. He has flourished throughout the early part of this regular season without James Harden on the roster, and he will be looking to keep the momentum rolling here on Friday night on the road in Atlanta. He will be looking to win his second consecutive most valuable player award this season and with the way he is playing right now he is arguably the early season frontrunner to do that. Joel Embiid averages around 32 points per game throughout the early part of the year which also makes him the leading scorer in the league and for the Philadelphia 76ers as well. He will be looking to record another quality efficient shooting performance here on Friday night on the road for this tournament game against the Atlanta Hawks as Philadelphia looks to continue their hot start to the season. That is exactly what I expect out of Joel Embiid as I look for him to post quality numbers in this game and I have him going over his total points here on Friday night against Atlanta.
My second pick for this game is for the Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young. He has been putting up quality numbers throughout the early part of the regular season and he will be looking to do so once again in this game on Friday night at home against Philadelphia. If Atlanta wants to have any chance of picking up a victory over Philadelphia, Trae Young will have to be the catalyst behind the performance as he will need to post a fantastic game in order to get the job done. We have seen time and time again that he is more than capable of doing so, and he will be looking to do that here on Friday night at home in this tournament game as the Hawks come into this game looking for an early season statement victory. He comes into this game averaging around 24 points per game throughout their first handful of games this season and he will be looking to replicate or surpass that number here on Friday. He will need to shoot the basketball a lot more efficiently as he comes into this game shooting around 35% on the year. I expect him to do just that here on Friday night as I also look for Trae Young to go over his total points in this game against Philadelphia.

Detroit Pistons @ Cleveland Cavaliers – 7:30pm ET
My first pick for this game is for the Detroit Pistons Cade Cunningham. He is off to a fantastic start this season, and he will be looking to keep the momentum rolling here on Friday night on the road in Cleveland against a divisional opponent. He is one of the best young point guards in the league and he has been efficient at shooting and passing the basketball throughout the early part of this regular season. he will be looking to maintain that efficiency here on Friday night as Detroit looks for a victory to get momentum rolling in the right direction after a few rough weeks. He comes into this game as they’re leading scorer as he is averaging 21 points per game on the season and he is shooting the ball at a 40% rate which will need to improve throughout this game against Cleveland on Friday on the road if Detroit wants to come away with the victory. He will also need to pass the ball away and work away from the ball to get opportunities in this game as he looks to build on his seven assists per game average as well. Regardless of the result of this game on Friday, I look for him to go over his total points against Cleveland.
My second pick for this game is for the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar shooting guard Donovan Mitchell. He has led for the Cleveland Cavaliers throughout the early part of the regular season, and he will be looking to do so once again in this game on Friday night against Detroit at home. Darius Garland is currently listed as a gametime decision for this one which could up the responsibility for Donovan Mitchell throughout this game against Detroit in this tournament contest. Donovan Mitchell is more than capable of stepping up to the plate, and delivering when he is tasked to do so, and I expect more of the same here on Friday night against the Pistons. He is off to an incredible start this season, and I expect that solid start to the season to carry over into this home game against their division rivals. As Mitchell comes into this game, averaging 29 points per game throughout the early part of the regular season, I look for him to equal or surpass that number in this game as Cleveland looks for another victory here in this one at home after wrapping up their road trip against Portland with a victory.

Boston Celtics @ Toronto Raptors – 7:30pm ET
My first pick for this game is for the Boston Celtics small forward Jayson Tatum. There is an argument to be made that he is one of the best players in the NBA these days and he is off to a fantastic start to the season, and he will be looking to further that narrative with another quality performance here on Friday night. He comes into this game as the leading scorer for the Boston Celtics throughout their first handful of games this season and his points per game average put him among the league leaders in scoring as well. Jaylen Brown is currently listed as a gametime decision. For this one which means Jayson Tatum will have to step up and deliver twice as much as he already has throughout this year. We’ve seen in the past that he is more than capable of doing so and that is exactly what I expected of Jason Tatum here on Friday night in this tournament game north of the border in Toronto. The last time these two teams met Jayson Tatum scored 27 points and I expect him to go over his total points once again here on Friday night in Canada.
My second pick for this game is for the Toronto Raptors Scottie Barnes. Toronto comes into this game dealing with a plethora of injuries to some of their key players and Scottie Barnes will have to step up and deliver in a big way if Toronto wants to grab a victory over Boston here on Friday night. He has been fantastic throughout the early part of the regular season as he has taken over the lead scoring role from Pascal Siakam throughout their first handful of games. He will be looking to maintain that pace with another quality performance here on Friday night at home against the Boston Celtics as Toronto searches for a massive momentum boosting victory early on in the regular season. He didn’t post the best numbers the last time these two teams met earlier this season as he barely scored double digit points, and he will be looking to improve upon that performance here on Friday night at home against Boston. That is exactly what I expect as I look for Scottie Barnes to go over his total points the second time around against the Celtics.
