The 2-0 Boston Celtics take on the 0-2 Orlando Magic in a game where oddsmakers are looking to get over on the general betting public (and probably will!) Get our Bos/Orl pick here!

New Orleans is in trouble. The injury bug has already hit the Pelicans hard; Elfrid Payton has been sidelined for more than a week, and AD is going to need to be rebuilt like Robocop if he ever wants to play a full season. The Western Conference takes no prisoners, and New Orleans has too small of a margin of error to be punting games due to injury concerns. Which players have enough Duck tape to go on Monday night and can they play like they are 100%? Kyle Cash has your NBA prediction.

In order for Phoenix to come away with a W that they don’t even want, they are going to have to rely on their superstar Devin Booker. Despite his early health problems, Booker has looked like he’s ready to make the leap, and he’s a legitimate go-to scorer/playmaker. Can the Suns young scorers show something against some of the best defenders in the NBA? Kyle Cash has your NBA pick.

In their last time out, Boston finally made a stride towards figuring out their proper closing 5-man group of players. Kyrie Irving was up to his old tricks, Tatum is a young, blossoming go-to scorer, Horford commands their daunting defensive front, and Gordon Hayward does whatever it is that he feels comfortable doing right now. Their fifth spot theoretically belongs to Jaylen Brown, but early struggles and injuries have left him standing as the odd man out. Can Boston get JB back in full gear and can he shut down Oladipo to help the Celtics cover the spread? Kyle Cash has the NBA pick and prediction.

The best chance the Wizards have of salvaging their season is through the incorporation of Dwight Howard into their rotation. With his debut on Friday, we’ll be able to see what it looks like when John Wall has a legitimate rim-running, above-the-rim athlete as a pick-and-roll partner. Howard can set hard screens to free up Beal on the perimeter. He has untapped passing ability, so maybe a little high-low action from the elbow with cutters like Kelly Oubre Jr. and Otto Porter? The possibilities are endless! Or maybe Dwight can come back in time to play his usual role of the fall guy for a failed season? Kyle Cash breaks down the chances of the Wiz beating OKC and gives his NBA pick.
