Boston -1
Lakers -1.5
The 2 best teams in the league opening up the season at home. Can't see any of these teams losing tomorrow. There might be a let down from Boston, but KG will get them motivated.

Detroit will cruise at home. Lakers will cruise in against the banged up Clippers (camby doubtful, baron questionable). New Orleans will outscore the Warriors on the road. Just taking the 3 clear best teams in the games. Good luck guys !!

Toronto -1.5
Boston -2.5
Taking the two home favorites. GS has to travel all the way up to Toronto. They do not have enough weapons to stop the Raptors. Expecting Calderon and Bosh to have a big game. Also, Boston always finds a way to get it done in the end. I am not sold on Chicago as of yet, so please prove me wrong Chicago...

Boston +2
Detroit -2
Orlando -2
I smell yet another Boston blowout. The Pacers are terrible, and Boston is clearly the better team. Even though the Celtics played last night, their bench had plenty of minutes so the starters should be rested. Indiana just doesnt have enough weapons to compete with the world champs. Also, Curry will have his guys ready for tonights game. The Pistons did not look too sharp in their opener, so I except better tonight. This is just a tough spot for the Wizards, going into Detroits home town. As for the last game, this game will make or break my teaser. I know Orlando has been crap thus far, but this is a great spot for them to get that first win. Dwight will have a monster game, whos going to stop him - Hawes, Mikki ?? Also, the Kings dont play all that well on the road, hence last nights game against Miami.

Utah -0.5

The Utah line looks way too easy, but I am taking it nevertheless. No Baron Davis, means not many wins for the Clips. Also, Orlando got that 1st win off their back. Chicago has no answer for Dwight, and they dont play exceptionally well on the road.

Boston will hopefully roll on. The Thunder are a young team, and they wont be capable of keeping up with the World Champs. Also, the Cavs are in a great spot. Coming off a strong victory against Dallas at home, and now back home. I see the whole team showing up for this one. As for the Pistons, I'll take 12 points with a quality Detroit team any day. They are still fundamentally sound even without Billups/Iverson playing. Plus Raptors are not known for blowing teams out.

Detroit -1.5
Cavs -2
Big unit play for this ticket. It will be the Iverson debut, Pistons should roll on. Also, VC is a bit hurt so if he doesnt play well, NJ doesnt either. As for the Cavs game, Im really liking Clevlands last couple results. They seem to have found a groove on offense, especially Lebron. I see the Cavs rolling on at home.

Utah -3
Memphis +15
Orlando -1
Utah is very efficient at home. The Thunder are too young and lack the talent to match up with the Jazz. Just taking the clear best team as well as the home team. As for Memphis they beat GS outright a few days ago. Althought I am leaning towards the Warriors winning this time, it will not be a blowout. GS does not blowout opponents due to the fact that their defense is ridiculous. Skipping ahead to Saturday, I like Orlando at home against Washington. Regardless of what happens tonight with the Wizards, the Magic have been rolling at home. There wont be an answer for Dwight.

Charlotte +11
Boston +10
Houston +15.5
Come on , we are talking about a soft Raptors team on the road. They rarely blow teams out on the road, as seen against Milwaukee. Who is going to stop the slashing swingmen, Jrich and GWallace ?? I see a pretty close game, and maybe Charlotte outright. As for Boston, I love them to win outright, but this is for insurance purposes. This will be a close, intense game. Lastly, Houston is a very high quality team with the talent to compete with the Lakers. But hopefully Kobe and his boys dont show up and hammer them. Lets go Rockets !!

Kings Moneyline -140
it opened up at -3.5, and the public shifted it down a point. The kings arent that bad of a team, especially with Brad Miller back. They got alot of scoring talent, and they are home. The kings are a different team at home (unbeaten thus far). Kevin Martin will have a big game against that terrible defense of the Warriors. Now GS on the other hand, isnt all that great of a team. Corey Magette will not be playing (injury), as well as Al Harrington (didnt play last game either). Who is going to score for the Warriors ?? S.Jackson and Azubuike...and garbage points from Beindrins...thats about it.Comment -

Cavs pickem
Philly have been brutal on the road. They are coming off a back-to-back as well. CB4 should be rested for tonights game, and make up for the poor performance against Boston. As for the Cavs, they got a nice winning streak going. Lebron has found his touch, expecting another big game from him. The Cavs are the better team imo.

Atl +19
Lakers +9.5
Orlando +0.5
Taking 2 undefeated teams due for a loss. But thats just too many points, especially with the Hawks. As for the Magic, this is more of a bet against the Thunder. Ill take a high-end playoff team over a young, expansion-like team any day. Whos going to stop Dwight ?? maybe one of those big man busts they drafted...

BIG UNIT PLAY. Taking the 2 best teams in the league once again. Boston will get it done at home, whether it be challenging or not. Lakers will come out strong at home, and the Pistons are coming off a back to back. As for the Cavs game Saturday, Utah will also be coming off a back to back, and 3 starters are expected to be out (D.Will, Okur, AK47). There wont be an answer for Lebron at home.
Teaser 6 point, risking 1.2 to win 1
Knicks -2
Suns -0.5
Knicks should be able to win at home against the expansion-like team. Plus Durant is a bit banged up. As for the Suns game, I was really confident before the suspensions were handed out, but I am sticking to my pick. Amare and Shaq should be able to do whatever they like in the paint. Hopefully Udrih doesnt school the Sun's rookie guard too much.

Two big home favorites. The Raptors should show up at home, especially with VC in home. I wish rookie Ryan Anderson good luck guarding CB4. (boone/swift/yi injured...not that they could contain him anways). Hawks get the job done at home, Charlotte doesnt have enough scorers without JRich.

Toronto is soft as hell, with jermaine limited minutes too, and a shaky calderon. Hopefully Joe Johnson shows up. Also, Cavs have been killer at home. Lastly, Detroit should get the job done at home, with or without AI. I was thinkin bucks moneyline but they dont have enough weapons with Redd and Bogut out, and since CV31 played well last night, he'll probably shoot about 20%fg tonight.
