(1x) blazers -11 - as with any sport, early in the season i like to focus on playing teams that return the same core players vs a team that made dramatic changes. the blazers should be right there again in the west and will have a major size advantage on most teams any given night. now they face a rockets team minus yao, tmac and artest. this rocket team may become scrappy and a nice ats dog play in a few weeks, but for right now they are fade material for me.
(1x) clippers +12 - my traditional opening day fade of any team that is raising the banner for their championship. why not take advantage of a decently talented clippers team when they're all healthy.
