I approach the NBA by breaking it up into distinct sections, using slightly different approaches. The first 2-3 weeks of the season can be hard to predict, but because the season is so new, it also offers some of the loosest and exploitable lines we'll see all season.
I really liked Boston last night in their home opener against the Heat, but tonight I think the Cavs are in a really great spot to take advantage of the Celtics on their first B2B following a very high profile win over Miami. The Cavs have a lot to prove this year without Lebron, and I think they'll be looking to make a statement tonight with a win over the team that knocked them out last year. I might be wrong, but I like this play a lot.
Cavs +4.5 (-120) x2.5
Cavs ML (+146) x1
