    MTSU -2.5
    -118
    Spread
    Picked: Oct 28 @ 9:21am

    Analysis

    Middle Tennessee is a team on the rise after wins against Delaware and FIU (notable that the Delaware win was against the backup QB). The MTSU defense can struggle at times, but Kennesaw State is not the team to take advantage of it. I think MTSU will be able to move the ball via the ground and air attack (I suspect we'll see another great game from Terrence Brown at RB). MTSU is playing inspired football and I expect them to get their third win in a row and cover the -2.5 at home.

    Assists
    Picked: Oct 28 @ 2:24pm

    Analysis

    CJ McCollum has gone under 3.5 assists in all four of his games this season. He’s averaging just 5.0 potential assists per game, so even a strong shooting night from his teammates likely keeps him in the two-to-three range. Jalen Johnson is the ball-dominant facilitator in this offense, and the Hawks run much of their half-court action through him. McCollum is more of a scorer and floor spacer, hunting his own shot instead of setting others up. Still a good price here compared to the market.

    CHA +7.5
    -105
    Spread
    Picked: Oct 28 @ 2:25pm

    Analysis

    The Pistons should bounce back from their first loss, but I bet the Hornets to at least keep it close. This is the second night of a back-to-back for Detroit, which played at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday. Brandon Miller has poured in 73 points the past two games. The addition of Naz Reid (19.5 points, 9.5 rebounds) has been pivotal in Charlotte's 3-1 start. Back the more rested team getting substantial points.

    Picked: Oct 28 @ 3:07pm

    Analysis

    This line is simply too low for a scorer the caliber of AJ. I expect him to play upwards of 30 minutes and he is NBA ready in what should be a competitive game environment. This is speculative but he’s one of most talented first overall picks we’ve seen and I expect him to average at least 18 PPG as a rookie.

    3PT Field Goals
    Picked: Oct 28 @ 4:50pm

    Analysis

    Hawks SG Nickeil Alexander-Walker has been held to two 3-pointers in two of his four games, each night on seven attempts. The other two, he went 4-for-12 and 5-for-8. He can fire away here vs. the Heat, who rank 27th in 3-point shooting percentage allowed, and 30th in 3's allowed to the shooting guard spot.
