Portland Trail Blazers (3-3) at Philadelphia 76ers (4-2)
The Trail Blazers will be on a back to back after losing to the Hornets in Charlotte 125-113. Their defence has struggled to contain sides on the road this season so that'll be key for this team going forward. As such, they're 1-5 in their last 6 road games.
Philadelphia are 2-0 on this home stand and come off a massive 122-94 win over the Hawks. While there's still no Ben Simmons, Tyrese Maxey has been filling the void at point guard. Joel Embiid has struggled with injury in the early season but he's still getting around 30 minutes per game.
While the Trail Blazers have struggled away from home this season, they do have a good record in Philadelphia having covered in 6 of the last 7 meetings.
Stadium Record
The 76ers are 13-4 in their last 17 home games. Portland holds a 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games in Philly.
Head to Head Record
In the last 10 meetings, the Trail Blazers are 7-3 and they've also won 6 of the last 7.

Chicago Bulls (5-1) at Boston Celtics (2-4)
Fuelled by new recruits Lonzo Ball and DeMar DeRozan, the Bulls are looking like contenders in the East once again. They've started the season 5-1 and this is another winnable game against the struggling Celtics. While the Bulls have lost Patrick Williams for the season, Javonte Green will get the start at SF and DeRozan fills the void at PF.
This is a key home game for Boston as they look to get out of a rough start to the season with their 2-4 record. They've also lost heavily to the Wizards and Raptors in their last 2 games at TD Garden. However, their lineup is looking injury free and they'll be banking on big games from Tatum/Brown to get them home.
It's tough to back against the in-form Bulls as they should handle Boston's struggling defence in this matchup.
Stadium Record
The Celtics are 2-6 in their last 8 home games. The Bulls hold a 1-5 record at TD Garden.
Head to Head Record
Chicago won the last meeting 121-99 but Boston has won 7 of the last 10 meetings.
Best Bet
Denver Nuggets (4-2) at Memphis Grizzlies (3-3)
The Nuggets have won back to back games against the Mavericks 106-75 and Timberwolves 93-91 so they'll look to make it 3 on the trot against Memphis. Since conceding 122 points against the Jazz, Denver's defence has been excellent in their last 2 games and that'll be key factor against Ja Morant and this Memphis offence.
Meanwhile, Memphis will look bounce back from a poor 129-103 defeat in Miami. They've won just 1 of their last 4 games and this will be another challenge against the Nuggets. Especially containing Jokic on defence and finding mismatches against this in-form Denver defence.
The Under has saluted in 6 of the last 7 last meetings and is also 5-1 in the Nuggets last 6 games. So we'd expected a low scoring affair in this matchup.
Stadium Record
Memphis has won 6 of their last 9 home games. Denver has covered in just 1 of their last 7 games in Memphis.
Head to Head Record
Denver have won the last 3 meetings, including a 120-96 result in April.
