Tonight’s 6 Games Betting Picks

Utah @ New York

Points +/- Rank

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Utah 94.0 93.7 +0.3
New York 100.8 109 -8.2

The Say

Only a handful of games into the season and already the headlines are criticizing D-Rose and his impact on the Knicks team. Give it a rest guys, let the man ball for at least half a season before making another stupid headline.

Rose’s return to Chicago came with a win and 15 points, 11 assists, and seven rebounds.

The new look Knicks are providing some hope to the fans, and we’re tipping the Knicks to please the natives on the first game of Utah’s 7 game road trip.

Best Bet: New York +1.0 @1.91

Feeling Lucky: New York WIN @1.99


Portland @ Memphis

Points +/- Rank

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Portland 109.7 111.8 -2.1
Memphis 95.8 101.7 -5.9

The Say

Both teams have had a day to rest, and those fresh legs of McCollum and Lillard will cause some havoc at the Fed Ex Forum in Memphis.

The Grizzlies have lacked any kind of offensive flow so far this season, however being that the Blazers strong offensive output equally matches their lacking of defense, we’ll go with the overs in total points here.

Best Bet: Portland WIN @1.76

Feeling Lucky: Damian Lillard over 30.5 points @1.87


Sacramento @ Toronto

Points +/- Rank

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Sacramento 98.4 104.6 -6.2
Toronto 102.8 95.4 +7.4

The Say

DeMar DeRozan is continuing his scoring run and is the first player since Michael Jordan in 1986 to score 30+ points in the first 5 games of the year. With the Raptors hard to beat at home anyway, we don’t give the Kings much of a chance but if DeRozan is cold, they will atleast get a little closer.

Best Bet: Toronto WIN @1.14

Feeling Lucky: Toronto 1-10 @2.45


Milwaukee @ Dallas

Points +/- Rank

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Milwaukee 108.0 104.0 +4.0
Dallas 97.4 106.2 -8.8

The Say

A young Bucks team at home will be the Mavericks’ chance to get their first win of the year. However, they will have to hit the court without their spiritual leader in Dirk Nowitzki who is out indefinitely. Milwaukee (4-2) has improved from the disappointing lose at home on opening night and get a chance to continue the pain for Dallas. There is a little uncertainty with either team here and maybe best to skip.

Best Bet: Milwaukee +8.5 @1.47

Feeling Lucky: Dallas 1-10 @2.65


Denver @ Boston

Points +/- Rank

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
Denver 102.0 104.8 -2.8
Boston 110.8 109.6 +1.2

The Say

The Nuggets couldn’t get close to the Pistons last night and proved our theory wrong in terms of their staying power. Away to Boston on the second night of a back to back wont make it any easier, especially with the Celtics’ record at home.

Best Bet: Boston WIN @1.27

Feeling Lucky: Boston -7.5 @1.95


Phoenix @ LA Lakers

Points +/- Rank

TEAM OWN OPP DIFF
LA Lakers 108.8 108.5 +0.3
Phoenix 105.3 112.3 -7.0

The Say

Luke Walton is starting to make the Lakers relevant again. Tonight will be another test for the baby Lakers who go into the matchup as favourites. Phoenix is starting to gather some momentum themselves and will be looking to spoil the party in LA. There will be a lot of 3s put up, Lakers to prevail with the depth on the bench.

Best Bet: LA Lakers WIN @1.67

Feeling Lucky: LA Lakers 1-10 @2.65
