CHICAGO comes to the floor on 1 day rest after a close loss at WASHINGTON 101-93. ORLANDO enters on no rest after a 102-76 victory at CLEVELAND.
If this were earlier in the season I would jump all over CHICAGO since ORLANDO is playing the next day. But it is not early in the season and every game counts. ORLANDO will be trying to break the 50% barrier. I can't make a pick on this game, only to say that I do believe it will go over the total of 199, could even go to OT.
