Knicks vs. Bulls, Thu Oct 28, 8:00pm (EDT)

PICK: Nikola Vucevic OVER 12.5 rebounds (+100)

PROJECTION: 13 rebounds

Not since the 90s has there been such excitement for a Knicks/Bulls game, but hysteria is at fever pitch for both sets of fans as they come together tonight at the United Center. Nikola Vucevic has been an obvious bright spark for Chicago and looks primed to feast on the glass against the Knicks, who rank in the bottom third of the league for opponent rebounds given up to start the season with an average of 49 boards per game. With a high rebound count expected, and the big Bulls Center accounting for around 28% of Chicago's rebounds so far this year, this looks like a good spot.

Jazz vs. Rockets, Thur Oct 28, 8:00pm (EDT)

PICK: Christian Wood UNDER 1.5 assists (+110)

PROJECTION: 1 assist

It's a fine margin but it's one that we're confident in as the stifling Jazz defense matches up against the Rockets in Houston.

Utah allow a measly 19 assists per game - second best in the league - while giving up just 99 points per contest. It's going to be really tough for the Rockets to get anything going, especially for a big man who is not particularly known as a facilitator, having two games already this season below this mark. The blowout potential of this game also increases the chances of this cashing with Wood no doubt being sent for an early shower if they're down big heading into the final quarter.

Grizzlies vs. Warriors, Thu Oct 28, 10:00pm (EDT)

PICK: Steph Curry OVER 32.5 points (-110)

PROJECTION: 34 points

The Grizzlies are on the second night of a back-to-back after suffering a big loss to the Blazers in Portland. A lot of their star players sat towards the end of the game and with a young core they should still see considerable minutes in San Francisco which hopefully leads to a competitive game. If Memphis can stick around, then Curry's points line will be smashed. The Griz have the third-worst defense in the league to open up the year, bleeding an average of 118.8 points per game. That run and gun pace will suit the Warriors just fine with Chef Curry as the usual focal point of the offense.
