Analysis
The Orlando Magic should be the most motivated team on Wednesday’s slate. They not only have a new Coach in Sean Sweeney, but will face the team that gave them the most problems a season ago in the Atlanta Hawks. They lost all four matchups, three of them by double digits. Banchero never got into the flow of any of the games, and shot collectively just thirty percent from the field. This is a circled matchup for Banchero who starts his season off with a big debut.

Analysis
Tyler Herro has averaged at least 20.1 points per game in each of the last five seasons. He now finds himself on a rebuilding Bucks team that is lacking offensive firepower. The second-best scorer on the team behind Herro is probably Ryan Rollins, who averaged 17.3 points per game last season. Fellow starters Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner aren’t scoring much anymore, and the team’s second unit is also filled with question marks. It would not be a surprise to see Herro approach 20 shot attempts in this game, making the over the way to go for a player who shoots 38.2% from behind the arc for his career.

Analysis
I don’t think this total is going to stay at 5.5 much longer, so let’s grab the Over before it moves. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen owns a 3.59 GAA, and six of his seven appearances this season have gone Over. On the other side, Flyers goalie Dan Vladar has posted a 3.58 GAA through five games. Philadelphia’s offense hasn’t exactly been lighting it up, but we’re starting to see signs of life after the Flyers picked up their first two wins of the season in their last two outings. With UPL struggling to keep pucks out of the net, I expect Philadelphia to contribute its fair share.

Analysis
FanDuel. Collin Murray-Boyles really came on late last season and in the playoffs. I’m counting on that parlaying into the start of this season, in what should be an advantageous matchup. Not only do the Bulls profile to be weak defensively in the paint, but they also lack a true center to start the start of the season, which could lessen Jakob Poeltl’s minutes. Murray-Boyles’ athleticism should play.

Analysis
The lovely folks from Canada can't really get too fired up about anything but they are going to let Brady Tkachuk hear it in Ottawa tonight in his return. Of course, he forced a trade out this summer by saying he wouldn't sign an extension. The Panthers are on an obscene offensive run right now so I feel pretty good Brady gets at least a point.
