The Mavericks suffered a disappointing home defeat to a returning Luka Doncic on Saturday, but they shouldn’t be outsiders against this Bucks team. Giannis Antetokounmpo is ruled out for Milwaukee, and they’re 3-11 across the games he has missed this year. Dallas have won four of their last five, so they’re backed to add to the Bucks’ woes.

The Pelicans have tested the Spurs across their first three meetings this season, but San Antonio have rattled off four straight home wins heading into this game. That includes a clutch win over the Timberwolves, and double-digit victories over the Jazz, Bucks, and Lakers. The Pelicans snapped a three-game skid in their last game, but they should struggle to match the Spurs.

The Heat can capitalise when they meet a Phoenix Suns side who are missing key man Devin Booker. The Suns have lost three of the four games that Booker has missed, narrowly winning the other by three points. The Heat are 2-2 on this five-game away trip, and they are capable of completing a season sweep of the Suns.

LA is the best team in the league over the past 15 games, winning 12 of them. The Nets have allowed 120+ in 4 straight, all losses. Earlier in the week they got blown out by the Knicks by 54 points, so the Clippers look capable of winning by nine or more.
