Orlando Magic @ Boston Celtics – 3pm ET
My first pick for this game is for the former number one
overall draft pick Paolo Banchero. He has put up incredible numbers throughout the early part of the regular season and he will look to replicate those numbers throughout this game on Sunday afternoon in Boston. The Orlando Magic have gotten off to a quality start to the regular season and that is thanks and part of the play of Banchero and he will look to lead them to a huge victory here on Sunday afternoon as well. This is a huge measuring stick game for the Orlando Magic and Banchero himself, as it’ll determine how he stacks up to other NBA superstars like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Banchero comes into this game leading the Orlando Magic in points per game this season. He is averaging around 20 points per game and he will look to surpass that number throughout this game on Sunday. That is exactly what I expect as I look for him to go over his total points here on Sunday afternoon at TD Garden in Boston.
My second pick for this game is for the Boston Celtics superstar small forward Jayson Tatum. He is likely going to be a future most valuable player award winner in this league, as he has already established himself as one of the best players in the NBA throughout the early part of his career. He has been the driving force behind this Boston Celtics team for the last several seasons, and he has already led them to an NBA finals, despite only being at the tail end of his 20s. He will lead them to another quality performance here at home as they remain undefeated at TD this season, and they won another solid performance from Tatum if they want to accomplish that goal. He comes into this game as the leading scorer for the Boston Celtics throughout the early part of the regular season as he is averaging nearly 30 points per game. I expect him to record another quality performance in this game on Sunday afternoon against the Orlando Magic as I look for Tatum to go over his total points in this game as well.

New Orleans Pelicans @ San Antonio Spurs – 3:30pm ET
My first pick for this game is New Orleans Pelicans, former number one overall draft selection, Zion Williamson. When he is on the court and healthy, he is easily one of the best players in the NBA but that is something he has struggled with throughout the early part of his career. He has even missed some time throughout the early part of this season, despite putting up quality numbers so far this year but he is healthy and ready to go for this game against San Antonio on Sunday. He will look to put up quality numbers in this game as New Orleans looks to pick up a solid victory away from home here on Sunday afternoon against a struggling Spurs team. If they want to pick up the win in this game away from home, they will need Zion Williamson to post a quality performance here in this game on Sunday afternoon. He comes into this game scoring around 23 points per game and I look for him to surpass that number throughout this game on Sunday.
My second pick for this game is for the former number one overall pick Victor Wembanyama. He has put up fantastic numbers during the early part of his first season in the NBA and he will look to keep the momentum rolling throughout this game on Sunday afternoon as well. He has put up solid numbers on both ends of the court for San Antonio throughout the early part of the year despite the results not coming on the scoreboard for San Antonio. At times he has been asked to do too much as he tries to pick up a struggling Spurs team, and lead them to victory by himself more often than not. He will certainly need some help throughout the next several years of his career but if they build him correctly, they will be one of the most dominant teams in the league once again sooner rather than later. He comes into this game, leading San Antonio in most major categories, and I look for him to go over his total points here on Sunday afternoon at home against the New Orleans Pelicans as well.

Houston Rockets @ Milwaukee Bucks – 7pm ET
My first pick for this game is for the Houston Rockets point guard Fred Vanvleet. The former Wichita State Shocker and Toronto Raptors has found a home in Houston and he is putting up quality numbers for the Rockets throughout the early part of the regular season. He will keep the momentum rolling throughout this game on Sunday night on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks as Houston looks to pick up a crucial early-season victory over one of the top teams in the league. If the Houston Rockets want to pick up the victory in this game on Sunday night, they will need Fred Vanvleet to put up quality numbers and protect the basketball throughout this game as well. He has been consistently facilitating the basketball throughout the early part of the season and he comes into this game leading the team in assists per game. I expect him to record another quality passing performance in this game on Sunday as I look for him to go over his total assists here in this one.
My second pick for this game is for the Milwaukee Bucks Damian Lillard. He has been incredible since his arrival to Milwaukee and he’s immediately turned the Bucks into one of the most dominant teams in the league. As long as he remains healthy and consistent throughout the year, this is going to be a very dangerous team heading into the postseason. As playing alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo has opened up the floor for both of these guys throughout the early part of the year as well. That is something Damian Lillard will look to maintain throughout this game on Sunday night at home against the Houston Rockets which is a team he is very familiar with. He has been solid passing the basketball throughout the early part of the season as he comes into this game averaging over seven assists per game this season. I expect his passing ability to come into play here in this game on Sunday night as I look for him to go over his total assists against the Houston Rockets at home.

Washington Wizards @ Phoenix Suns – 8pm ET
My first pick for this game is for the Washington Wizards, Kyle Kuzma. When the Washington Wizards acquired Jordan Poole over the offseason, everybody immediately disregarded Kyle Kuzma, but he has been the one to step up throughout the early part of the regular season. He will look to maintain that narrative with another quality performance here on Sunday night on the road in the desert against the Phoenix Suns, as Washington looks to get a much-needed victory here in this one. It is mostly the Kyle Kuzma show throughout the early part of the year as he has been the more consistent player and he will look to record another quality performance here in this one on Sunday night as Washington looks to get things going in the right direction. For that to happen, they will need Kyle Kuzma to post quality numbers throughout this game and that is exactly what I expect of him here on Sunday night. As I look for him to go over his total points here on Sunday night on the road in the desert against the Phoenix Suns.
My second pick for this game is for the Phoenix Suns Kevin Durant. He will be playing against his hometown team here in this one on Sunday night and he will look the Phoenix Suns do a solid victory here in this one as well. He is one of the best players on the planet, and he can easily drop 30+ points on you without even breaking a sweat on the majority of nights. He has had to carry the load for the Phoenix Suns throughout the early part of the regular season as both Bradley Beal and Devin Booker have missed time with injuries, but Kevin Durant is more than capable of stepping up and delivering. That is something we’ve seen several times throughout his legendary career and he will look to do that once again here on Sunday night against Washington. He comes into this game near the top of the leaderboard and points per game as he is averaging over 30 points per game this season and I look for him to go over his total points once again here on Sunday night at home against Washington as well.

Golden State Warriors @ Portland Trail Blazers – 9pm ET
My first pick for this game is for the Golden State Warriors Stephen Curry. He is one of the greatest shooters in the history of the league, and just the other night he hit a milestone that nobody else has hit in the history of the NBA. He became the first player in the history of the league to hit over 3500 three pointers in a single career. He will look to maintain that type of quality performance, and carry it into this game with him on Sunday night on the road against Portland. He comes into this game as the leading scorer for Golden State throughout the early part of the season and his points per game average also puts him near the top of the league in points per game throughout the early part of the year as well. I expect him to post. Another quality performance against the team has had so much success against throughout his legendary career as I look for Curry to go over his total points here in this one on Sunday night in Portland.
My second pick for this game is for the Portland Trail Blazers Jerami Grant. He has been one of the few players to step up in the absence of Damian Lillard and he will look to record another quality performance here on Sunday night at home against the Golden State Warriors. He comes into this game leading Portland in points per game throughout the early part of the regular season, and he will look to lead them to an upset victory of Golden State here in this one as well. He comes into this game averaging 22 points per game throughout the early part of the regular season, and he will look to surpass that number throughout this game on Sunday against the Golden State Warriors. That is exactly what I expect out of him here on Sunday night against Golden State at home as I look for Grant to go over his total points, as Portland looks to pull off the upset victory at home against Golden State.
