The Oklahoma City Thunder and Milwaukee Bucks represent a matchup between one of the league's higher and lower tier teams. Both coming off wins, the Celtics and Knicks will battle for Atlantic Division supremacy. And in a battle at the bottom, the Magic and Kings will both be looking at the other as a winnable match.

Let's take a look at the bets!

The Oklahoma City Thunder have cooled off since their hot start, even though Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to be one of the league's most capable scorers. The undefeated Milwaukee Bucks are justified as the favorite in this matchup.

The Thunder are a decent scoring team, but the Milwaukee Bucks are what you'd call two-way threats. While the Bucks score 113.3 points per game, good enough for 18th in the league, they allow just 102.0 points per game, first in the league.

Winning their games by a margin of 11.3, earning the -7.0 (-110) should be in the cards for Milwaukee. While they're on the second leg of a back-to-back, fatigue is unlikely to be an issue against Oklahoma's poor defence.

Boston Celtics @ New York Knicks

When: 7:30 PM EST

Boston Celtics-3.5 (-110)O 223.5 (-110)

The Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks both enter this game on the second leg of a back-to-back. Also being the winners of their Friday night matchups, the Knicks and Celtics are both feeling motivated to kick off a win streak.

The Celtics haven't been the same defensive outfit after their loss of Ime Udoka to suspension and Robert Williams to injury. Despite their win last time out, they won a scoring contest rather than what you'd consider a defensive victory.

The Knicks are definitely feeling good after a come back victory, but they don't project to be able to stop the multi-tiered offence that the Celtics boast.

Sacramento Kings @ Orlando Magic

When: 5:00 PM EST

TeamSpreadTotalMoney
Sacramento Kings-2.5 (-107)O 224.5 (-107)
-130 
Orlando Magic+2.5 (-107)U 224.5 (-107)
+110 

Moneyline: Orlando Magic to Win (+110) @ PointsBet

Rookie stars Keegan Murray and Paolo Banchero are set to face off for the first time this season. Both the Magic and Kings are at the bottom of their conference at this point in the season, but that doesn't mean this won't be an interesting game.

The Sacramento Kings have gotten off to a rough start to the season, still struggling to defend teams with any modicum of versatility on offence. The Magic aren't much better, but they've shown resilience against even the league's top teams.

The Kings' ball movement is the key factor in their offence, but it'll be challenged by the Magic's length on defence. It may be a tight one, but look to the Magic to pull off another win with some key players back in the lineup.
