Orlando-New Jersey 2 @5.0
Sacramento Kings - Chicago Bulls @ 3.6
LA Lakers-NYK 2 @2.5
@45
Bet365
Orlando is shorthanded, plus Dwight Howard is playing through some issues. Sure, the Nets aren't exactly great either—they're missing Brook Lopez, who's pretty much their main guy alongside Deron Williams—but at +5, it’s worth a look. 😲
Sacramento Kings handled the LA Lakers easily, and Chicago looked sluggish right out of the gate. That wasn't some massive win for the Bulls—it was basically just the Kings making a mess of the Lakers. The New York Knicks lost to Golden State yesterday, but honestly, I think this squad is solid enough to beat anyone. We just lack consistency. Plus, the Lakers are definitely feeling it without Andrew Bynum playing these early games. It could go either way, so I’m just leaning toward the underdog with the better odds.

Golden State Warriors vs. New York City
Pick: Over 204.5 total points
coefficient: 1.943
Stake: 4/10
These two have been putting on absolute shows over the last few years, usually ending in high-scoring shootouts.
Solid pick at the top. I was actually thinking about playing this myself, but ended up going a different route. Good luck.👍

I think after taking down Chicago, Golden State might be hitting a wall after all those big wins this week. I've been watching the Knicks and honestly, it feels like we finally have a solid squad. We've got some issues with our Players, though, so hopefully there aren't too many T.O.s. I'm not expecting much from Douglas or that little Chinese kid either.
My bad, didn't catch the part about us having a good squad... you just mean the Knicks? Honestly, totally missed that 😢
No worries, just a little mix-up 😉

I feel like the Warriors expect way too much from him...
😕 Not sure why I'd even be bringing up their player in the first place?

Hawks vs Wizards 1 @1,25
Safe to say the Hawks absolutely dismantled the Nets—the same crew that just flipped the script on the Wizards (just paying the price for being green, like I said). They played out of their minds, and they usually take care of business at home anyway.
Charlotte Bobcats vs Miami Heat 2 @1,20
I'm not touching this bet because of the home team; it's about the visitors. They've matured, they've got a solid rookie in the mix, and honestly, it feels like their time to dominate the NBA is finally here.
Warriors vs Knicks 2 @1,70
The Warriors just took down the Bulls, so maybe they've had enough big scalps for one week. On the other hand, I've been watching the Knicks, and I think we finally have a legit squad. We're struggling with Playmakers, but hopefully there aren't too many turnovers. I'm not expecting anything crazy from Douglas or that little Chinese guy either.
Memphis Grizzlies vs Oklahoma City Thunder over 194,5 @1,85
This one just feels right. Both teams are offensive powerhouses right now, and I don't see much defense happening. To be honest, this pick is more of a gut feeling than some deep analytical breakdown.
@4,71
Still weighing whether to go for player points. The overs on Kevin Garnett, Amar'e Stoudemire, and Manu Ginobili look pretty tempting.

If I had bet 1 unit, I'd be down -3.45 units. But I split this into a few different slips and they all missed, so 🤦

Steven Baker12 said:Andrea Bargnani isn't even close to being Toronto's top guy... and 20 points is actually a pretty solid number in this league, plus it's not like he's just cruising to them... even if it looks easy to us... so I doubt he hits that, especially since it's just the season opener. Avoid that bet just like you would Kevin Durant... everyone's sleeping on Minnesota, but you'll see Oklahoma City Thunder really struggle, if they even win at all... as for Durant over 28.5... maybe possible if Russell Westbrook wasn't on the roster. If you watched yesterday's game, it was obvious Russell Westbrook still hasn't figured out how to pass, spending most of his time charging the rim instead of moving the ball. Durant can't score without the rock... and there can only be one ball on the court at a time... so in my book, that's a clear under.
He's not the lead, but he's a key piece. When I said "main," I meant the main scoring option—if I recall, he led the team in scoring per game last season in Toronto. But yeah, he went way under.
And Durant cleared it, though Westbrook was definitely hogging the ball again.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Toronto Raptors 1 @1.60
The Cavs grabbed the 4th pick in the draft, so they definitely leveled up a bit. Plus, when bottom-tier teams face off, the better one usually comes out on top.
Washington Wizards vs New Jersey Nets 1 @1.55
New Jersey is struggling without Brook Lopez—they just don't have it. Meanwhile, Washington has a solid young core that’s gained some much-needed experience this year.
Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder 2 @1.45
Oklahoma City Thunder started strong, and now they're heading to a weak Minnesota Timberwolves squad where Kevin Love is basically the only one who can produce.
Dallas Mavericks vs Denver Nuggets 1 @1.60
I think the defending champs might find playing at home a bit too much to handle, even if Denver has the edge in the paint.
Portland Trail Blazers vs Philadelphia 76ers 1 @1.55
LaMarcus Aldridge and his crew are just too tough at home right now, especially early in the season.
Golden State Warriors vs Chicago Bulls 2 @1.45
Chicago pulled an upset against the Los Angeles Lakers, and now they're riding that momentum against a Warriors team that just got dismantled by the LA Clippers. I don't see them losing this.
Cleveland Cavaliers vs Toronto Raptors over 194.5 @1.85
Seems like a safe bet; neither team has much defense, and they'll likely play aggressively to start things off. Makes sense for teams this weak.
Andrea Bargnani over 20.5 @1.85
I feel like Toronto's main guy needs to drop at least 20 points since it's the season opener; he'll step up.
Kevin Durant over 28.5 @1.85
It's a tight line, but who else is he going to drop 30 on if not a team with a defense this soft?
Dirk Nowitzki over 22.5 @1.70
They're facing the Miami Heat 21 while being shorthanded, so they'll have to feed him the ball.
Deron Williams over 21.5 @1.85
With Lopez out, Deron Williams is naturally going to take more shots. This looks like a lock at the 18.5 line.
Pau Gasol over 18.5 @1.85
That's a pretty low bar, and since they're playing the Sacramento Kings, it feels worth it. Add in the fact that Andrew Bynum is out and Kobe Bryant will be eased in due to his hand, and he's the main presence inside.
