Undefeated Pistons and Raptors favoured in midweek matches

Toronto have averaged 108.3 points per game in their three, and are coming off a dominating 106-87 win over Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night.

Punters may have noticed how strong the Raptors have been in the fourth-quarter, averaging over 29 points in the final frame en route to their first 3-0 start in six years.

But Toronto face a Mavericks squad that will be hungry for a win in their home-opener, returning to American Airlines Center after kicking off the campaign with three road contests, picking up a pair of SU and ATS wins.

Dallas have also dominated the Raptors on their own floor, going 13-2 SU in their last 15 home dates with the Canadian outfit. However, Toronto have held the edge, going 3-2 ATS in their last five visits to Big D.

Pelicans need Magic win

New Orleans Pelicans entered the new NBA season with much promise, but enter Tuesday night’s action still searching for their first win of the season.

The Pelicans will once again have their hands full, taking on the feisty Orlando Magic as 3.5-point home favourites in A. New Orleans struggled with defense during the first week of the season, surrendering 119 PPG in three defeats, including a pair of losses to Golden State Warriors, falling by an average margin of 16 points per game.

The Magic are also searching for their first SU win, but have been perfect at Coral’s online sportsbook, easily covering in each of their three games, including a heartbreaking last-second loss to the Washington Wizards, and a double-overtime loss to Oklahoma City Thunder.

Warriors and Clippers collide

Golden State’s explosive start has yet to boost their NBA Championship odds at Coral. At 4/1, the defending champs continue to trail Cleveland Cavaliers and San Antonio Spurs, who sit at 5/2 and 7/2, respectively.

Both the Cavs and Spurs sit with strong 3-1 SU records following the first week of the NBA regular season, but Golden State have struck fear into the rest of the NBA with four lopsided wins, outscoring opponents by 100 total points over their first four contests.

However, the Warriors will face their toughest challenge so far when they play host to Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, who currently join GSW as the NBA’s only other 4-0 squad.
