Here are today’s top recommendations for a loaded ten-game slate.

PHI Kelly Oubre Jr. OVER 20.5 Points (-120) @ Toronto Raptors

• Oubre scored 21 points in Wednesday’s season-opening loss to the Bucks and will again see an increased offensive role with Paul George and Joel Embiid sidelined due to injury.
• The Raptors ranked 25th defensively last season and allowed 136 points in their season/home opener against the Cavaliers.

NO Zion Williamson OVER 25.5 Points (-111) @ Portland Trail Blazers

• Williamson will return to the lineup after missing the Pelicans’ season opener due to an illness.
• Clearly, in the best shape of his career, I expect the former first-overall pick to dominate a Blazers defense that is fresh off allowing 140 points at home to the Golden State Warriors.
• Williamson scored at least 26 points in 13 of his final 19 games last season (68%).

For those bettors in Louisiana, there are many sportsbook options and promo offers.
