Man, the NBA season really snuck up on me. This should be a fun season as I think there are more good teams than bad which could lead to a more competitive regular season than we typically see.
I like the Bucks to win it all this year as I still believe they would’ve last year without the injury to Middleton.
One team I really like out West is the Nuggets. Their win total is set at 51.5 and I would go over on that number. A healthy Jamal Murray will change everything.
I’m not going to post daily tips to start the year, but I will most days. Some teams I just want to feel out a bit and the NBA is definitely a league where I like to pick my spots. Last season we had a 102-70 record during the regular season.
Tonight’s games are really nothing exciting to me. The Lakers getting an opening night game after the last couple of season is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Philadelphia 76ers at Boston Celtics Betting Tips:
I can see this year being the Embiid MVP year that has been teased over the past few seasons. It really doesn’t matter if he’s better than Jokic this season as nobody wins three straight in this day and age. +550 is decent odds on that play.
I mention him at the top here because I think he is really going to dominate here. The Celtics will be without Robert Williams III for the start of the season and he’s the only real big man that can match-up with someone like Embiid. Without him, Embiid should dominate. Plus, Harden is doing the whole “best shape of my life” thing right now.
The Sixers are a great regular season team that I don’t trust in the playoffs. That makes Opening Night their NBA Finals.
76ers +3

Los Angeles Lakers at Golden State Warriors Betting Tips:
Is LeBron James great? Is a healthy Anthony Davis great? Yes. Are the Lakers great? Ehh…
The Lakers team lacks depth, size, shooting, and really any sort of defense. Why should I think they are going to get it done here? The Westbrook thing is a mess and is going to cause havoc this year. I just can’t believe in them against a good team.
Golden State will be getting their rings tonight which is usually a good motivator. They’ll have Klay in the starting lineup on opening night for the first time in years which is another. They have much better shooting, depth, and defense.
One of these two teams had a star player punch another star player in the face, but that team is the one I trust to be more cohesive and work together. I’m not saying that’s the reason or anything like that. It’s just something Westbrook should consider. (Kidding.)
Warriors -7
