Hey Guys. "Great White" is here with a few NBA picks. I suggest going small on these as it's the first week on of the season and nobody knows much. Vegas barely knows this early. Although they have a general idea, it's a fair statement to say that the playing field is level for the first week. Anyway, here we go:
OKC vs Philadelphia +9.5
Pick: Philly +9.5
Logic: I get it. Russell is gonna go off. Of course he is. But he's still one guy. What about the rest of his crew? They lost KD of course, but most importatnly...they lost Ibaka. That means no real big men to handle Embid and Saric. Philly also added veteran leadership to their backcourt with Gerald Henderson and Bayless. Both teams have to learn each other so Philly should be able to do enough to not lose by 10 points.
Detroit vs. Toronto -7
Pick: Toronto -7
Logic: Toronto is gonna come super fired up following last year's promising playoff run. They added a somewhat stretch four in Sullinger, who should play well alongside Valenciounas. DeRozan and Lowry and already in game shape following the Olympics. I see them going crazy at home against Detroit, given the spread.
We'll leave it there as these are the only two I can say I like. No need to risk anything else.
Good Luck!
