76ers to defeat the Celtics (-115)

"All the Sixers apparently are available except Paul George, so this seems a fair price," SportsLine expert Matt Severance said. Tyrese Maxey is averaging 28.3 points, 7.4 assists, and 4.6 rebounds in his past eight games against the Celtics, including four games with at least 30 points and five assists. Joel Embiid's minutes are ticking up slightly each game, although I doubt we ever see him play even 38 again short of the playoffs. Philly is 4-2 ATS in the past six meetings." Back Philadelphia at DraftKings Sportsbook, where new users get $300 in bonus bets and 3 free months of NBA League Pass:

Thunder (-7.5) vs. Warriors

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is playing like someone who seems destined to become a multi-time NBA MVP winner, averaging 33.2 points per game this season after leading the league at 32.7 ppg last year. He's scored at least 30 points in seven straight games, including 35 points against the Grizzlies on Sunday. The Thunder have the No. 5 scoring offense (122.4 ppg) and No. 1 scoring defense (108.8 ppg) to open the season. Stephen Curry is expected to return for the Warriors, but after missing three games with an illness, his endurance could be lacking, and the Warriors went 1-2 in his absence. The model projects the Thunder to cover in 68% of simulations. Back Oklahoma City at DraftKings Sportsbook, where new users get $300 in bonus bets and 3 free months of NBA League Pass:

Ohio to defeat Western Michigan (-108)

Ohio, the defending MAC champions, travels to Western Michigan for a matchup of 4-1 teams in MAC play, with the Bobcats coming off a 24-20 victory over Miami (OH) last week. Western Michigan lost to that same Miami team, 26-17, earlier this season, giving Ohio a common opponent advantage. The Bobcats are coming off three straight double-digit win seasons, while Western Michigan is coming off three straight losing years. Ohio is the No. 2 scoring offense in the conference, averaging 28.7 ppg this season, and the model projects the Bobcats to win in 72% of simulations. Back Ohio at DraftKings Sportsbook, where new users get $300 in bonus bets and 3 free months of NBA League Pass:
