It's a star-studded Monday as the NBA begins its first full week of action. Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kevin Durant, and Paul George all check in at over $10k tonight with Trae Young, Damian Lillard, Bradley Beal, and James Harden all also in action as well.

The builds are going to be interesting tonight and teams have a few games in so we have info to start going off of. Let's check out how the cards fall.

Tonight's Key NBA Matchups

Celtics (-1) @ Hornets, O/U 224 7:00 PM ET

These aren't your Brad Stevens Celtics as Boston is #2 in possessions per game through the first week of the season. Sure a lot of that was boosted from a 2OT game with the Knicks in the opener but this is a solid matchup with the undefeated Hornets. Both teams are on the b2b.

Bucks (-2) @ Pacers , O/U 230 7:00 PM ET

One of a couple of 230 betting totals (Portland at Clippers) on the slate, the highest of the night. We're still waiting on Milwaukee's first close game of the season with two double digit wins and a 42 point loss to the Heat.

Wizards @ Nets (-6.5) , O/U 228 7:30 PM ET

Brooklyn plays on the back to back which might put some people off of Kevin Durant playing 38 minutes last night (and scoring 38 real points). The ownership of James Harden ($9.5k) will be interesting considering he has a 48fp ceiling through three games.

Pelicans @ Timberwolves (-5.5), O/U 225.5 8:00 PM ET

We've got to retrain our brains a bit for this matchup as it would have been a great game to target last season with two top 10 teams in pace and in the bottom 10 of defensive efficiency. These two squads battled to a 96-89 Minnesota win on Friday night, however.

Trail Blazers @ Clippers (-3), O/U 230 10:30 PM ET

Portland is the #1 scoring team in the league after the first week (127.5 ppg) while the Clippers are 0-2 with opponents shooting 49.1% from the field which is the worst in the NBA.
