Magic vs. Hawks, 7:30PM ET

John Collins looks to become one of the major benefactors of Atlanta's off-season acquisition of Dejounte Murray if Wednesday night was any indication. Collins was in fine form in the season opener against the Rockets, notching 24 points from 9 field goals - 8 of which were assisted by either Murray or his backcourt teammate in Trae Young. The Hawks have another nice match up against the young Magic tonight where Collins could thrive again. The Magic were efficient in defending the pick and roll against the Pistons in their first game, allowing just a 29% field goal percentage, but Atlanta is a different prospect all together. Collins to have another monster game.

BET: John Collins OVER 16.5 points (-113) with BetMGM ➡️ here ⬅️.

Raptors vs. Nets, 7:30PM ET

We rode with him on Wednesday night in our props article and he let us down badly, so we're fading Ben Simmons tonight. Simmons - who we took to hit his assist mark against the Pelicans - fouled out in just 23 minutes, putting up just 5 assists and 4 points off three shots. Simmons' role in this offense is to facilitate for Irving and Durant but the rust from missing over a year of basketball is evident through some of his needless fouling. With limited looks anticipated against the Raptors who are historically a solid defensive unit, we're taking the under on his points.

BET: Ben Simmons UNDER 8.5 points (+106) with BetMGM ➡️ here ⬅️.
