Philly are on a B2B travelling to the T-Dot while the franchise player will be resting his knees. The Raptors had a pretty easy opening against the Bulls and wont be tested again tonight.

Raps for 2-0 and liking the under for a fatigued young team.


Orlando @ Cleveland

The Trends –

  • Orlando are 1-7-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings in Cleveland.
  • Orlando are 5-17-1 ATS in the last 23 meetings.

Orlando havent had much luck against Cleveland in recent times. It was 2012 when the Magic were last able to grab the W in Ohio which was when the King was with the Heat. With an uncertainty on the fitness of Aaron Gordon, the Cavs look the best at the spread.


Indiana @ Miami

The Trends –

  • Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.
  • Indiana are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Miami.
  • Indiana are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Both Whiteside and Turner will be out for respective teams which could give an all small ball game. The Heat will host their first home game of the year while the Pacers will be on a road B2B.


Detroit @ New York

The Trends –

  • Detroit are 5-22 ATS in the last 27 meetings in New York.
  • Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.
  • Detroit are 8-18 ATS in the last 26 meetings.

Detroit were unlucky against the Wizards last night while the Knicks were outclassed by the Thunder the night before. Very tough to gauge where both teams are at, especially with the Pistons on a B2B. They do have the better lineup, just hope the legs are fresh from the bus ride from the Capital.


San Antonio @ Chicago

The Trends –

  • San Antonio are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Chicago.
  • Under is 13-6 in the last 19 meetings.

It doesn’t get any easier for the Bulls who host the Spurs tonight. San Antonio will still be without Kawhi but there wont be anything to worry about with the current lineup Chicago have to put out.


Dallas @ Houston

The Trends –

  • Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.
  • Dallas are 2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings in Houston.
  • Dallas are 5-13 ATS in the last 18 meetings.

Rumors are circulating that CP3 will miss the next month with a knee complaint while the Mavericks have lost their two home games against the Hawks and Kings – that’s not a typo.

We thought Dallas were a tanking candidate but not 4 days in to the season.


Golden State @ Memphis

The Trends –

  • Under is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings in Memphis.
  • Golden State are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
  • Under is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings.

Memphis have historically been the bogey team for the Warriors, although, the lineups including Randolph and Allen caused the most trouble (not at the Grizz anymore).


Portland @ Milwaukee

The Trends –

  • Portland are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
  • Portland are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Milwaukee.
  • Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.

Both teams are coming off a B2B and Portland get their first taste of a tough opponent. The Greek Freak will be hard to contain. When in doubt, go the home team.


Sacramento @ Denver

The Trends –

  • Over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Denver.
  • Sacramento are 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Denver.
  • Over is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings.

Denver isn’t the easiest place to win in and is harder when its a road B2B. The Nuggets will be gunning for the win to open their account. Will be much tougher opposition than what the Kings walked through last night.


Oklahoma City @ Utah

The Trends –

  • Under is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in Utah.
  • OKC are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
  • Under is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings.

It took some time for the new look Thunder to sync in their first regular season game together but the ending was inevitable. On the road to Utah will see how much the group have come together while the Jazz are on a B2B.

  • To come.

The Suns couldn’t keep up with Lonzo’s Lakers last night and will find it even tougher against the other LA side (the current better one). The Clippers mowed down the Lakers in their season opening and should do the same against the Suns.
