On average, the Rockets are scoring 120.8 points while allowing 115.2 points per game.

Miami has been very good lately, dropping only two contests out of their last 11. The Heat can attribute much of that success to solid defense. Over their last 12 games, Miami has allowed 100 points or fewer on five occasions, and 106 points or fewer seven times.

On average, the Heat are scoring 111.9 points while allowing 105.4 points per game.

On average, the Mavericks are scoring 117.8 points per game while allowing 109.8 points per game.

The Pelicans haven’t hit a five-game losing streak, and it’s due in large part to the fact that they’ve struggled to score points. New Orleans has failed to score more than 110 points in any of their last four games, and they’re coming off two 104-point performances.

On average, the Pelicans are scoring 114.5 points while allowing 118.9 points per game.

Golden State has been one of the worst teams in the NBA this season, especially on the road. Of their 12 away games so far this year, the Warriors have allowed 120 points or more in seven of them. Currently, Golden State has lost five of their last six while giving up 122 to Miami and 142 to Dallas.

On average, the Magic are scoring 101.1 points while allowing 102.3 points per game.

The Magic are often involved in defensive, low-scoring games, so it isn’t a huge surprise to see that Evan Fournier leads team with just 18.4 points per game.

50* Powerhouse Play on Spurs/Pistons over217 -109

Neither the Spurs (7-13) or Pistons (6-13) own a winning record. Today, these two teams will go head to head in Detroit. The over/under is set at 217 points.

The fall from grace has been unending for the Warriors (2-11), who will go into New Orleans to take on the Pelicans (3-9) this evening. The over/under is set at 228.5 points.

Golden State is already without the vast majority of the star pieces that turned them into a perennial powerhouse in the NBA over the past few years.

On average, the Magic are scoring 100.3 points and allowing 99.9 points per game.

50* Powerhouse Play on Spurs/Wolves under228½ -109

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Grizzlies/Hornets under220 -109

Both the Grizzlies (3-7) and Hornets (4-6) are struggling to find wins early in this NBA season. Tonight, they’ll go head to head in Charlotte. The over/under is set at 220 points.

Although Memphis has managed only three wins out of 10, one of those wins came in their most recent game against the Spurs in San Antonio. That win is one of just four times the Grizzlies have scored more than 105 points in a game this season.

On average, the Grizzlies are scoring 109.1 points and allowing 119 points per game.

Rookie Ja Morant is the leading scorer for Memphis. On average, Morant is dropping 17.8 points and 5.2 assists per game. While six Grizzlies players are averaging 10 points or more, none are close the threatening 20 points per game so far this year.

We’ll see two very different teams on display this evening as the high-scoring Nets (4-5) go into Utah to take on the suffocating Jazz (7-3). The over/under is set at 217 points.

On average, the Nets are scoring 119.8 points and allowing 121.7 points per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Pacers/Magic under204 -110

Bradley Beal leads the Wizards with 27 points per game in addition to his 6.1 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game. However, Washington can boast seven players averaging at least 10 points per game.

In a fight for the second spot in the Central division of the Eastern Conference, the Pacers (4-4) will host the Pistons (4-5) in Indiana. The over/under is set at 210 points.

On average, the Heat are scoring 113.7 points and allowing 106.6 points per game.

For Phoenix, the scoring starts with Devin Booker, who’s averaging 26.1 points per game. Ricky Rubio has found new life in the desert, averaging 12.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, and a team-high 8.5 assists per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on 76ers/Jazz under212 -110

After suffering their first loss of the season, the 76ers (5-1) will try to bounce back in Utah when they take on the Jazz (4-3) this evening. The over/under is set at 212 points.

With Joel Embiid serving his suspension, Philadelphia didn’t have enough to keep up with the Suns on Monday. By a score of 114-109, Philly lost for the first time after starting the season on a five-game winning streak.

On average, the 76ers are scoring 114 points and allowing 107.3 points per game.

Led by Embiid’s 23.3 points per game, the 76ers have five players averaging at least 13 points. Tobias Harris has been good to start the season, averaging 20.3 points and 8.8 rebounds.

After three wins in a row, the Jazz have dropped their last two contests. In those losses, Utah only managed 101 and 94 points. Through seven games, the Jazz have scored more than 101 points only twice.

On average, the Jazz are scoring 100 points and allowing 95.6 points per game.

For Utah, the scoring is up to Donovan Mitchell and Bojan Bogdanovic. Mitchell is averaging 25.7 points and Bogdanovic is averaging 20.2, but no other Jazz player is averaging more than 12.4 points.

50* Powerhouse Play on Kings/Raptors over218½ -110

The Raptors (4-2) have responded well to losing their superstar player after last year’s championship. Tonight, they’ll host the struggling Kings (2-5) in Toronto. The over/under is set at 218.5 points.

Sacramento opened the season with a five-game losing streak. However, the Kings have entered the month of November looking like a new team. After a one-point victory over Utah, the Kings took care of the Knicks to win their second straight contest.

On average, Sacramento is scoring 101.1 points while allowing 110.1 points per game.

The duo of De’Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield is finding its feet for Sacramento. In the win against New York, Fox went for 24 points with six assists, and Hield added another 22 points with four rebounds.

With three wins in a row over Chicago, Orlando, and Detroit, the Raptors showed that they’re not going to fall apart after Kawhi Leonard’s departure. However, Toronto fell to Milwaukee by 10 in their most recent game.

On average, the Raptors are scoring 113 points and allowing 106.8 points per game.

Pascal Siakam is quickly evolving into a star. Thus far, he leads Toronto with 26 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. Kyle Lowry has been productive as well, scoring 24 points per game in addition to 6.8 assists and five rebounds.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Rockets/Grizzlies under234 -110

While the Rockets (3-3) continue to struggle on defense, the Grizzlies (1-4) are just, plain struggling. Tonight, these two teams will go head to head in Memphis. The over/under is set at 234 points.

Houston is set for its fourth-straight game on the road after playing in Washington D.C., Brooklyn, and Miami. In all three contests, the Rockets showed they’ll need a lot of offense to overcome their weak defense. In losses to the Heat and Nets, Houston allowed 123 points or more. In their victory over the Wizards, the Rockets allowed 158.

On average, the Rockets are scoring 121.3 points per game while allowing 127 points per game.

It’s no surprise to see James Harden leading the Rockets in scoring with 35.3 points per game. In addition to a team-high 9.8 rebounds and 9.2 rebounds per game, Russell Westbrook has added another 21.2 points per contest.

The Grizzlies needed overtime to take down Brooklyn and earn their first win of the season. Memphis has been unable to win or surpass 105 points in any of their four other games.

On average, Memphis is scoring 106.6 points per game while allowing 119.4 points per game.

With a team-leading 18.8 points per game, Ja Morant has gotten off to a great start to his NBA career. However, the Grizzlies don’t have another player averaging more than 13.2 points per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Nuggets/Magic under202 -105

A team with championship aspirations will face off with a team on the rebuild tonight when the Nuggets (3-2) head into Orlando to take on the Magic (2-3). The over/under is set at 202 points.

Since a strong 3-0 start to the season, Denver has dropped two straight to Dallas and New Orleans. Including an overtime win against Phoenix, the Nuggets have failed to score more than 108 points through their first five games.

While the Nuggets have six scorers averaging double-digit points, no players has more than Jamal Murray’s 17.8 points per game. Nikola Jokic is having the largest all-around impact with his 15 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game.

The Nuggets are averaging 106 points per game and allowing 106.4 points per game.

Orlando is aiming to get back to .500 after dropping three of their last four, and it isn’t likely they’ll do so if they allow Denver to get over 100 points. Through five games, the Magic have yet to score more than 99 points.

Only three Orlando players are averaging at least 10 points, led by Evan Fournier’s 18 points per game.

On average, the Magic are scoring 94.8 points per game while allowing 99.6 points per game.

50* Powerhouse Play on Pelicans/Thunder over228½ -110

After losing their duo of stars in the offseason, the Thunder (1-4) have gotten off to a rough start to the season. In a late afternoon matchup, the Thunder will host the Pelicans (1-4) in Oklahoma City. The over/under is set at 228.5 points.

With first overall pick Zion Williamson yet to return from injury, New Orleans dropped their first four games of the season. However, they’re fresh off their first win of the year in which they cruised to victory over a strong Nuggets team.

Brandon Ingram, Jahlil Okafor, and Frank Jackson all pitched in with at least 21 points. Okafor’s 26-point performance was the best on the night, and helped him earn a plus/minus of +19. On the season, Ingram is leading the way with a team-high 26.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game.

Oklahoma City got in on the Warriors-bashing parade with a 120-92 win, but that’s been their only victory of this young season. Since then, the Thunder have lost a pair of games to Houston and Portland.

The Thunder are trying to win with a true team effort. While Shai Alexander leads the team with 21.6 point per game, Steven Adams is tops on the team with 11.8 rebounds per game, and Dennis Schroder has a team-high 4.4 rebounds per game.

While New Orleans is scoring 121.2 points per game, Oklahoma City is scoring 102.2 points per game.

50* Powerhouse Play on Cavs/Pacers over212 -109

Both the Cavaliers (2-2) and Pacers (1-3) will need to keep pace with the Bucks if they want to compete for the division title. Tonight, the Pacers will host the Cavs in Indiana. The over/under is set at 212 points.

Cleveland is coming off a 117-111 win over the Bulls after losing at Milwaukee the game before. For a preview of tonight’s matchup, we can look at the Cavaliers’ second game of the season in which they took down the Pacers by a score of 110-99.

On average, the Cavaliers are scoring 106 points per game while allowing 108.3 points per game.

A lack of star power has allowed center Tristan Thompson to spread his wings. Thus far, Thompson is scoring a team-leading 20.3 points while reeling in 11.8 rebounds per game. Kevin Love has been productive as well, scoring 16 points and adding a team-leading 16.8 rebounds per game.

The Pacers finally got a win in a 118-108 game against Brooklyn after starting the season with three straight losses. Tonight’s game against Cleveland will be Indiana’s first home game since the season opener.

On average, the Pacers are scoring 105.3 points per game while allowing 108.3 points per game.

Domantis Sabonis and Malcolm Brogdon lead the way for Indiana. While Sabonis is averaging 22.8 points and 10 rebounds per game, Brogdon is averaging 22 points and 11.3 assists per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Bucks/Magic under216 -110

It’s been a disappointing start to the season for the Bucks (2-2), who don’t figure to lose many games this year. Tonight, Milwaukee will be on the road to take on the Magic (2-2) in Orlando. The over/under is set at 216 points.

The Bucks haven’t faced the easiest schedule in the world to start the 2019-20 season, but they would have expected better results. Although Milwaukee earned wins over Houston and Cleveland, they fell to Miami and Boston.

Thus far, the Bucks are averaging 119.3 points per game while allowing 117.5 points per game.

Khris Middleton has gotten off to a strong start with 20.8 points per game, but this is Giannis Antetokounmpo’s team, and he’s showing it. With 23.8 points, 13.5 rebounds, and eight assists per game, Giannis leads the Bucks in all three categories.

Generally speaking, the Magic have been involved in low-scoring affairs so far this season. Orlando’s two wins came in a 94-85 win over Cleveland and a 95-83 win over the Knicks. In their four games, the Magic have yet to score 100 points. 

On average, the Magic are scoring 95.8 points per game while allowing 93.8 points per game.

While Orlando doesn’t have a dominant player in the lineup, Nikola Vucevic has been a strong performer with 15.8 points and a team-leading 11.2 rebounds per game.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Spurs/Clippers over226 -109

When Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers (3-2) play host to Leonard’s first team, the Spurs (3-0), they’ll be facing an undefeated squad. The over/under is set at 226 points.

San Antonio hasn’t played many games yet, but they’ve won them all. All at home, the Spurs took down the Knicks and Wizards before winning by three against a good Trail Blazers team three nights ago. Thus far, the Spurs have scored at least 113 in every contest.

Earning an average of 119 points per game, San Antonio is able to lean on five double-digit scorers and two players averaging more than 20 points per game. With 22 points per game, DeMar DeRozan leads the Spurs alongside LaMarcus Aldridge, who’s averaging 21.3 points, eight rebounds, and 2.7 blocks.

The Clippers have lost two of their last three games, but they’ve scored at least 111 points in every contest aside from yesterday’s loss to the Jazz. On average, the Clippers score 116 points per game while allowing 112 points per game.

In Paul George’s absence, the trio of Leonard, Lou Williams, and Montrezl Harris continue to lead Los Angeles in scoring. In addition to Harris’ 18.4 points and Williams’ 22.6 points per game, Leonard is averaging 27 points, 7.5 assists, and 6.5 rebounds per game.

50* Powerhouse Play on Bucks/Celtics under223 -110

As the Celtics (2-1) continue their opening stretch of games against Eastern Conference contenders, they’ll host the Bucks (2-1) in Boston this evening. The over/under is set at 223 points.

Milwaukee kicked off the season with a 117-111 win over Houston before falling to Miami in an overtime contest. The Bucks then rebounded with a 129-point performance in a victory against Cleveland two days ago.

Thus far, the Bucks are averaging 124 points while allowing 118 points per game.

As expected, Giannis Antetokounmpo is the main man in Milwaukee. With 24.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, and nine assists per game, the Greek Freak leads the Bucks in all three categories. Khris Middleton is the second scoring option for the Bucks right now, as he’s averaging 19 points per game alongside his 6.7 rebounds per contest.

The Celtics opened the season against two teams that figure to compete for some of the higher playoff seeds. After falling to Philadelphia in the season opener, Boston took down Toronto by a score of 112-106. With a good defensive performance, the Celtics held the Knicks to fewer than 100 points in a win on Monday.

A balanced Boston team features a slew of scorers, but without anyone who figures to compete for a scoring title. The Celtics can boast four players with at least 16 points per game between Kemba Walker (22 points), Jayson Tatum (20.3 points), Jaylen Brown (17.3), and Gordon Hayward (16.3 points).

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Nuggets/Kings over218½ -109

As the Kings (0-3) go in search of their first win of the season, they’ll host the Nuggets (2-0) in Sacramento this evening. The over/under is set at 218.5 points.

The undefeated Nuggets have scored exactly 108 points in each of their first two games. Most recently, Denver defeated the Suns by a single point in overtime.

In that Phoenix game, Jamal Murray led all Nuggets players with 27 points. Murray also added seven rebounds and three assists on his way to a +3 plus/minus.

However, the star of the game was Nikola Jokic, who earned a triple-double with 23 points, 14 rebounds, and 12 assists.

The winless Kings are allowing 119.7 points per game while scoring an average of just 96 points. Most recently, Sacramento lost to Utah by a score of 113-81 with a dreadful shooting performance that included shooting 37% from the field and 26.9% from three.

When you only score 81 points, you likely don’t have any big-time scorers. That was certainly the case for the Kings, who only had two players in double digits – Dewayne Dedmond (11 points) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (10 points).

The Nuggets should be able to score relatively easily on a poor Sacramento defense, and the Kings aren’t likely to be as bad shooting the basketball as they were two days ago.

50* Powerhouse Play on Blazers/Spurs over220 -109

One of the better teams in the West is set to face off with a perennial powerhouse in the conference as the Blazers (2-1) go into San Antonio to take on the Spurs (2-0). The over/under is set at 220 points.

Since losing to the Nuggets in the season opener, Portland has responded with a pair of wins over Sacramento and Dallas. In those two recent games, the Trail Blazers scored 122 and 121 points. On average, the Blazers are scoring 114.3 points per game while allowing 113 points per game.

Early in the season, Portland appears to have a very strong trio in the starting lineup. While CJ McCollum offers a second scoring option with 22 points per game, Damian Lillard leads the team with 31.7 points and six assists per game. The surprise has been Hassan Whiteside, who’s been a beast in the post with 14.7 points and 14 rebounds per game.

The ever-steady Spurs opened the year with wins over the Knicks and Wizards, scoring 120 and then 124 points. On average, San Antonio is scoring 122 points per game while allowing 116.5 points per game.

The Spurs offer a talented trio of their own between LaMarcus Aldridge, who leads the team with 24.5 points per game, DeMar DeRozan, who is averaging 19.5 points per game, and Dejounte Murray, who leads the team with nine rebounds and five assists per game in addition to his 18.5 points.

50* Powerhouse Play on Bulls/Knicks under223 -109

The winless Knicks (0-3) are set to host their second home game of the season this evening as they welcome the Bulls (1-2) to New York. The over/under is set at 223 points.

Since taking a tough, one-point loss to Charlotte to open the season, Chicago took down Memphis by eight and lost a 108-84 game that came as the second game in as many days. On average, the Bulls are scoring 106.3 points per game while allowing 112 points per game.

With 21.3 points per game, Zach LaVine leads all Bulls in scoring. It’s been a decent start to the year for LaVine, who also leads the team with five assists per game in addition to his 4.3 rebounds.

Lauri Markkanen offers the second part of Chicago’s one-two punch alongside LaVine. With 11.7 rebounds per game, Markkanen leads the Bulls on the boards.

New York managed just 95 points in their most recent game – a 118-95 loss to Boston – but it came on the latter end of a back-to-back. The night prior, the Knicks only lost by four points to Brooklyn.

It’s been a very bright start to the season for rookie RJ Barrett. Through his first three games, Barrett is averaging 21 points, five rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game.

Julius Randle has been another solid player for the Knicks, scoring an average of 16.3 points per game while bringing in a team-leading 10.7 rebounds.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Blazers/Mavs under221 -115

Tonight, the Trail Blazers (1-1) will have the chance to hand the Mavericks (2-0) their first loss of this young season when they tip off in Dallas. The over/under will be set at 221 points.

Portland followed up a 108-100 opening night loss against Denver with a 122-112 win over Sacramento. Now, the Trail Blazers are set for their second road game in three days.

Against the Kings, both Damian Lillard and Hassan Whiteside earned a plus/minus of +23. Lillard finished the game with 35 points, five rebounds, and five assists. Whiteside was second on the Blazers in scoring with 22 points in addition to his nine rebounds and three assists.

In their two victories, Dallas scored 108 and then 123 points. A field goal percentage of 47.3% has allowed the Mavericks to outscore their opponents by seven and eight points.

Luka Doncic leads the Mavericks in nearly every major category with 29.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game. Against New Orleans, Kristaps Porzingis was a huge presence with 24 points, four rebounds, three assists, and five blocks.

On average, the Trail Blazers are allowing 110 points per game and the Mavericks are allowing 108 points per game.

50* Powerhouse Play on Celtics/Knicks over212½ -110

With both teams playing the second game of a back-to-back this evening, the Knicks (0-2) are looking for their first win against the Celtics (1-1) in New York. The over/under is set at 212.5 points.

Boston followed up an opening night loss to the 76ers with a 112-106 win over the Raptors yesterday. The performance on the offensive end of the floor was a big step up from the Philly game, in which they managed just 93 points.

Against Toronto, the Celtics had three scorers over 20 points. While Kemba Walker scored 22, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown led the way with 25 points, nine rebounds, and four assists each.

Tatum led the way from the three-point line, making four of his seven attempts.

The Knicks will play their first home game of the season after losing on the road against San Antonio and Brooklyn. New York was competitive in both contests, scoring at least 109 points in each.

Against the Nets, six Knicks were in double digits. Allonzo Trier led all New York players with 22 points from the bench. Knicks fans will be excited to see RJ Barrett lead the starters with 16 points in addition to his three rebounds, three assists, and six steals.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Heat/Bucks under225½ -110

Either the Heat (1-0) or the Bucks (1-0) will suffer their first loss early in the 2019-20 season when they face off against one another in a late afternoon game in Milwaukee. The over/under is set at 225.5 points.

Without Jimmy Butler, who Miami brought over the Philadelphia in the offseason, the Heat posted a 120-101 victory over the Grizzlies in the season opener.

Justice Winslow was able to take that game over, scoring 27 points and adding seven rebounds and seven assists on his way to a +22 plus/minus in 37 minutes on the floor. Kendrick Nunn was close behind Winslow with 24 points of his own.

As a team, Miami took just 18 three-pointers and made only seven.

The Heat will be going into Milwaukee without Butler, Dion Waiters, and James Johnson.

The Bucks didn’t have the most explosive offensive performance against Houston in their season opener, but they did enough to win by a score of 117-111.

Beyond Giannis Antetokounmpo, who dominated the game with 30 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists, the Bucks didn’t offer much in the way of scoring. No other player on the Milwaukee roster had more than 14 points in the contest.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Hawks/Pistons under222½ -110

While the vast majority of the NBA played its first game on Wednesday, the Hawks (0-0) are set to open their season tonight in Detroit when they take on the Pistons (1-0). The over/under is set at 222.5 points.

After a 29-53 season a year ago, Atlanta enters its second year of a youth movement spearheaded by Trae Young. Last season, Young averaged 19.1 points, 8.1 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game.

After an active offseason, Young will be joined by the likes of Evan Turner, Jabari Parker, Cam Reddish, and Vince Carter, who is set for the 22ndand final season of his productive career. If rookie De’Andre Hunter can provide a much-needed defensive presence, this team could take a huge step forward.

The Pistons will enter their home opener without the freshest of legs after playing in Indiana last night. Detroit was able to earn a 119-110 victory over the Pacers without Blake Griffin, and will now aim to do the same thing again.

Andre Drummond was a force for the pistons in that game, leading all scorers with 32 points and adding a monstrous 23 rebounds, seven of which came on offense. Yet after playing 41 minutes, don’t expect Drummond to duplicate that performance in his second game in as many nights.

50* Powerhouse Play on Wolves/Nets over225½ -109

Two teams aiming for low-end playoff seeds will face off to start the season when the Timberwolves (0-0) go up against the Nets (0-0) in Brooklyn.

After ending a 14-year playoff drought last year, the Wolves will once again rely on the All-Star talents of Karl-Anthony Towns. Last season, Towns averaged 24.4 points and a career-high 12.4 rebounds.

The NBA’s youngest head coach, Ryan Saunders, will be pushing his backcourt – Andrew Wiggins and Jeff Teague – to do more damage from the three-point line. Wiggins averaged 18.1 points with 33.9% shooting from three throughout the 2018-19 season.

Under Saunders, it’s highly likely that Minnesota will display a much faster pace than previous years.

The Nets may be a year away from competing for an NBA title, but they’ll be aiming to lay a foundation to build on starting this season.

Brooklyn may be the headliner of a wild offseason by acquiring the trio of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and DeAndre Jordan. However, the Nets lost both Jared Dudley and All-Star D’Angelo Russell.

Although Irving experienced a tumultuous year in Boston last season, he hit career highs with five rebounds and 6.9 assists per game in addition to averaging 23.8 points.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Celtics/76ers under211½ -110

Two teams aiming to contend for the Eastern Conference title will face off in the season opener as they Celtics (0-0) go into Philly to take on the 76ers (0-0). The over/under is set at 211.5 points.

This Atlantic Division showdown features a host of talent on either side of the ball, which is why only Milwaukee holds better odds than these two teams in the conference.

On the side of Boston, the departures of Al Horford and Aron Baynes will leave them thin at big man, and losing Kyrie Irving takes away a huge scoring threat. However, the Celtics were able to sign Kemba Walker and Enes Kanter to ease those losses.

Walker will be added to a talented roster that features Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Gordon Hayward. But with a number of players learning to play together, the Celtics may need some time to gel offensively.

Philadelphia’s big offseason losses included Jimmy Butler and JJ Redick, but the team was able to reload by adding Josh Richardson and Al Horford.

Those two players will join Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, and Tobias Harris to send out a formidable squad with plenty to offer on both ends of the floor.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Blazers/Nuggets under220 -110

Throughout the preseason, the Trailblazers (2-2) haven’t had much trouble scoring points and the Nuggets (3-0) haven’t lost a game. Tonight, these two squads will face off in Denver.

Portland has scored at least 118 points twice in their exhibition games, and they’re coming off 126-118 win over Utah.

In that game, the duo of C.J. McCollum and Damian Lillard did the majority of the damage for the Blazers. Including five three-pointers, McCollum ended the contest with a game-high 28 points in addition to four assists. Lillard finished with 25 points, five rebounds, and four assists of his own.

After going 11-of-15 from the field and 5-of-7 from three, don’t expect McCollum to be as efficient in tonight’s game.

The Nuggets have won all three games in the preseason, but have failed to score more than 111 in any of them. Most recently, Denver defeated Phoenix 107-102.

Jerami Grant led the Nuggets with 22 points in that contest, followed by 18 from Gary Harris and 16 from Jamal Murray. Despite scoring just three points, Torrey Craig led the Nuggets with a plus/minus of +20.
