Out west, Luka Doncic and Yaxel Lendeborg meet again in San Francisco, nine days after the rookie said he had lost all respect for him, picked up a technical for saying so, and then watched a 48-foot buzzer-beater drop over him.

NBA TOTAL PICK
|
Bulls vs. Celtics
Over 234.5 (-115)
Boston is the biggest favorite of the first NBA Cup Day, but blowout potential is about the only pushback on this play. Chicago plays at the fastest pace in the league, and it's not even close. They're even able to speed up teams like the Knicks, who they just lost to 133-127. In fact, just prior to that game, we saw the Celtics put up 134 points, so we really don't need much from the Bulls at all here to get us over the total.

Howard Bender
NFL ANYTIME TD PICK
|
Jake Ferguson (DAL)
Anytime TD (+240)
The Arizona Cardinals rank 27th in DVOA against the TE, allowing five touchdowns this season to the position. Ferguson is a strong red zone target for Dak Prescott and all three of his receiving touchdowns scored this season have come at home in Dallas.

Mark's Knicks-76ers breakdown is above with Lakers-Warriors beside it, Dan's full Week 9 college card and Baylor-UCF behind that, and the NFL games to watch for Sunday. Tip is 7:30 PM ET from Philadelphia on Prime, the game is a pick 'em, and Mark is back on the Philly money line after they took the opener as underdogs. His exclusive goes to Boston instead, where Chicago play at the fastest pace in the league and the Celtics have just put up 134. Howard has jumped ahead to Sunday with Jake Ferguson at +240, against a Cardinals defense ranked 27th in DVOA against tight ends. Good luck tonight.
