Picks against the spread
| Spread | Points | Result |
| Boston | 210.5 | Boston |
| -5.0 | Under | 105-87 |
The last minutes Embiid and Simmons played in Season 17/18 were against the team they meet for the opener. However this time around it’s a full strength Boston outfit. The 76ers were handed a playoff lesson falling 4-1 against their Division rivals but today is a new beginning.
Take 2 for Celtics small forward Hayward who notched up only 5 minutes in Season 17/18 after his horrific ankle break. While joining another returning Superstar in Kyrie Irving, Boston are stacked at all positions.
Boston began last season with a huge streak and a league leading defense. Expect Opening night to be low scoring.
Best Bet = Boston -5.5 & Under 210.5
Player Prop = Joel Embiid Over 10.5 Rebounds

| Golden State | 222.5 | Golden State |
| -12.0 | Under | 108-100 |
The Thunder are set to renew their rivalry against the Warriors with some big question marks on the availability of Russell Westbrook. With no news of any clearance, the odds are heavily stacked in favor for Golden State to set sail to victory.
The Thunder have gained some bench talent in Noel and Schroder which had been a weakness for them once Russ and PG are seated. Golden State begin their trek for a 3-Peat with some minor concerns with Green and Curry.
One omen is that the Warriors have dropped their last two opening night home games which does cause some doubt, although it all relies on the availability of Westbrook.
Best Bet = Under 222.5
