Detroit Pistons @ Milwaukee Bucks – 6pm ET
My first pick for this game is for the Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham. He has put up quality individual numbers throughout the early part of the regular season despite the results not coming for Detroit on the scoreboard. He will look to maintain his quality start to the regular season and help lead the Detroit Pistons to a much-needed victory here on Saturday night on the road against their Central division rivals. He will need to play one of his best games of the season if he wants to lead the Detroit Pistons to a victory over the Milwaukee Bucks here in this game on Saturday night. He comes into this game leading the Detroit Pistons in points per game and assists per game throughout the first 25 games of the regular season and he will look to them in both of those categories here in this one as well. He comes into this game averaging 22 points per game throughout their first 25 games of the regular season and I expect him to have a quality scoring performance here in this one. I look for him to go over his total points here on Saturday night in Milwaukee.
My second pick for this game is for the former two-time, most valuable player award winner Giannis Antetokounmpo. He has put up incredible numbers throughout the early part of the regular season and he will look to keep those numbers intact with another quality performance here and this one on Saturday night at home against Detroit. With the way he is playing throughout the early part of the regular season he will likely be a finalist to potentially win his third most valuable player award. He looks to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to another victory on Saturday night at home. He comes into this game not only leading the Milwaukee Bucks in points per game, but he also is near the top of the leaderboard in the league for points per game throughout the early part of the season as well. He is averaging around 32 points per game this season and I expect him to go over his total points here on Saturday night at home against the Detroit Pistons. As I look for him to lead the way for all scorers throughout this game on Saturday night as he looks to lead Milwaukee to a win.

Atlanta Hawks @ Cleveland Cavaliers – 7:30pm ET
My first pick for this game is for the Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young. When he is playing well this is a very dangerous Atlanta Hawks team, but when he is off of his game the Atlanta Hawks have very little chance of putting together a successful game and picking up a victory. They will need to put up a quality performance here on Saturday night as they hit the road to go to Cleveland to play a beat up Cleveland Cavaliers team, and they look to come away with a huge momentum boosting victory in the process. If Atlanta wants to get away with a victory in this game on the road in Cleveland, they will need Trae Young to put up quality numbers throughout this contest on Saturday night, and he is more than capable of doing that against Cleveland as we’ve seen several times throughout his career. He comes into this game as the leading scorer for Atlanta as he is averaging around 27 points per game throughout the early part of the regular season. I look for him to put up quality numbers here on Saturday night and go over his total points against Cleveland.
My second pick for this game is for the Cleveland Cavaliers Donovan Mitchell. He has led the way for the Cleveland Cavaliers since his arrival at the beginning of last season, and he will have to step up and handle even more responsibility this time around. It was announced on Friday that both Evan Mobley and Darius Garland. The other two stars in this Cleveland rotation will be missing several weeks with some severe injuries. Which means Donovan Mitchell will get all the focus in this game, and he is more capable of stepping up and delivering as we’ve seen several times throughout his legendary career. He comes into this game as the leading scorer for Cleveland as he is averaging nearly 30 points per game this season. He will look to do so once again here on Saturday night at home as Cleveland looks to get things going in the right direction with a solid victory over the Atlanta Hawks. That is where I look for Donovan Mitchell to come in as I look for him to post numbers and go over his total points as he tries to lead Cleveland to a much-needed win here in this one at home.

Chicago Bulls @ Miami Heat – 8pm ET
My first pick for this game is for the Chicago Bulls DeMar DeRozan. He has put up fantastic numbers throughout the early part of the regular season and he will look to step up and deliver in this game in South Beach on Saturday night against the Miami Heat. Once again, the Chicago Bulls will be without Zach LaVine for this contest, so DeMar DeRozan will be the focal point of the game plan here. This one is more than capable of delivering when all eyes are on him as we’ve seen several times throughout his career. He comes into this game averaging around 22 points per game throughout the early part of the regular season and he will look to surpass that number here in South Beach on Saturday night. When DeMar DeRozan faced off with Miami and their previous game, he led Chicago to a victory and dropped 23 points, and he will look to replicate that performance throughout this game on Saturday night as well. Regardless of how the game ends this time around, I still look for DeMar DeRozan to go over his total points here on Saturday night.
My second pick for this game is the Miami Heat’s Jimmy Butler. He will likely be short handed once again, as he will be without Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo throughout this game on Saturday night at home yet again. When these two teams met on Thursday night Butler scored 20 points, although they came up short against the Chicago Bulls. He will look to replicate that type of performance with a different result this time around on Saturday night as Jimmy Butler looks to go over his total points and lead Miami to a win. He has been putting up respectable numbers all season long as he comes into this game as the leading scorer for the Miami Heat throughout the early part of the regular season. He comes into this game on Saturday night at home averaging 22 points per game on the year and I expect him to go over his total points here on Saturday night in South Beach against the Chicago Bulls. I look for Butler to put on a solid scoring display as he looks to leave them to a much-needed victory here in this one on Saturday night.

Indiana Pacers @ Minnesota Timberwolves – 8pm ET
My first pick for this game is for the Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton. He has played incredible basketball throughout the early part of the regular season and he has helped lead the Indiana Pacers to a solid start to the year as well. He comes into this game, looking to record another quality performance, and further establish himself as the best point guard in the league this season. He comes into this one averaging a double double and he has been solid, rebounding the basketball throughout the early part of the year as well and he will look to put up another solid performance here on Saturday night on the road in Minnesota. Despite being listed as a gametime decision, I still expect him to give it a go in this game on Saturday night as he looks to improve his 26 points per game average throughout the early part of the year. I expect him to go over his total points here in this game on Saturday night against Minnesota.
My second pick for this game is for the former number one overall draft pick the Minnesota Timberwolves Anthony Edwards. He is putting up incredible numbers throughout the early part of the regular season and he will look to maintain those numbers throughout this game on Saturday night against the Indiana Pacers. The play of Anthony Edwards has helped lead the Minnesota Timberwolves to one of the best records in the league throughout the early part of the year and they will look for an early season statement. Victory here on Saturday night at home as well. He comes into this game as the leading scorer for the Minnesota Timberwolves throughout the early part of the year as he is averaging around 24 points per game coming into Saturday night. He is also currently listed as a gametime decision, but I also look for him to try and play in this one against Indiana and I look for Anthony Edwards to go over his total points in this game as well.

Oklahoma City Thunder @ Denver Nuggets – 9pm ET
My first pick for this game is for the Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous Alexander. Ever since his arrival in Oklahoma City, he has been the face of this franchise, and he will look to continue leading them throughout this early part of this regular season with another quality performance here on Saturday night against the defending NBA champions. He comes into this game as the leading scorer for Oklahoma City and his points per game average also puts him among the leagues leading throughout the early part of the year as well. He comes into this game averaging 31 points per game throughout the early part of the regular season and he will look to maintain that average with another quality game here on Saturday night against the Denver Nuggets. I expect him to go over his points here in this game as he looks to go bucket for bucket with the two-time, most valuable player award winner Nikola Jokić.
My second pick for this game is for the Denver Nuggets Nikola Jokić. He has put up incredible numbers throughout the early part of the regular season and he will look to keep the momentum rolling throughout this game on Saturday night against Oklahoma City. He comes into this game, nearly averaging a triple double on the season as he leads the Denver Nuggets in all three major categories throughout the early part of the regular season. He will look to record another quality performance here in this one on Saturday night against Oklahoma City, as Denver looks to further establish themselves as the favorites to win a second consecutive NBA championship. Jokic comes into this game averaging around 27 points per game throughout the early part of the year and I expect him to go over his total points here in this one on Saturday night against Oklahoma City at home.
