Fantasy basketball picks and betting tips for Friday's NBA slate - ESPN

There are seven games on Friday's NBA slate, and there are several fun storylines to follow.

Khris Middleton is scheduled to make his season debut for a resurgent Milwaukee Bucks squad that has won seven of eight, but they will be pushed to the max on the road against the Boston Celtics (7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN).

Anthony Edwards called out his teammates last week, and since then the Minnesota Timberwolves seem to have recovered their defensive intensity from last season. They'll be tested on the road against a Golden State Warriors (10 p.m. ET on ESPN) squad that won last night without Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, both of whom could be back for tonight's game.
