Chicago Bulls at Cleveland Cavaliers [ESPN | 8 PM ET]

Bulls: Chicago has played extremely tough so far this season despite the fact that they will be playing three of last year's four Eastern Conference semifinalists in eight days to start the seson. The Bulls have split four games and are coming off a 96-93 loss at Orlando on Monday. The Bulls have won two of the last three meetings at Cleveland because they have not let other Cavs beat them besides LeBron James, who averaged 35.8 points against them last season. Chicago will be looking forward to a five-game homestand after this game.

Bulls are 5-2 SU & ATS in the last 7 meetings.
The UNDER is 9-2 in Chicago's last 11 games overall.

Key Injuries - G Larry Hughes (shoulder) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: 87 (UNDER - Total Play of the Day)

Cavs (-8, O/U 186): Cleveland begins a stretch of playing five of six games at home after playing three of their first four on the road. The Cavs lost two of those games even though they went 2-1 against the spread. LeBron James is coming off a season-high 29 points in a 100-81 victory at Dallas on Monday and feels good about his team after they went on a 13-0 run to start the fourth quarter. “We took a stand,” James said. "When they tied it up, we buckled down and worked defensively. Then we made some shots. I didn’t shoot the ball particularly well, like I know I can. I was in attack mode all night, but I missed some shots I know I can make.”

Cavs are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall.
The UNDER is 20-6 in Cleveland's last 26 home games.

Key Injuries - F Darnell Jackson (wrist) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: 96



Denver Nuggets at Golden State Warriors [ESPN | 10:30 PM ET]

Nuggets: Denver will be without PG Chauncey Billups, who was traded for Allen Iverson on Monday. Billups could not travel to California in time and will not make his debut until Friday at home against Dallas. Until then, the Nuggets will count on J.R. Smith to fill in for Iverson's scoring. Smith is certainly capable, as he has averaged 17 points in two games so far and could break out in this game. Carmelo Anthony will also be playing his second game this season after scoring 13 in a 104-97 home loss to the Lakers on Friday.

Nuggerst are 7-2 SU in the last 9 meetings.
The UNDER is 9-2 in Denver's last 11 games overall.

Key Injuries - F Kenyon Martin (hamstring) is questionable.
G Sonny Weems (hernia) is questionable.
C Steven Hunter (knee) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 102 (Side Play of the Day)

Warriors (-3.5, O/U 203.5): Golden State returns home following a 1-2 road trip that was concluded by a 90-79 loss at Memphis on Monday. The Warriors totaled just 12 points in the fourth quarter against the Grizzlies and shot just 34.4 percent from the field. "I think this was one of those games where we were getting a lot of open shots," Golden State G DeMarcus Nelson said.
" They were the same shots we’ve been getting, but tonight we just didn’t convert and complete a high percentage of them."

Warriors are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games vs. Northwest Division.
The UNDER is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

Key Injuries - F Corey Maggette (hamstring) is questionable.
G Monta Ellis (ankle) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: 101
