OKC +12.5 is a steal. That lines inflated by at least 5 points. Warriors tend to start slow. They don't take the regular season seriously let alone the preseason. Dennis Schroder should be a huge pick up and I like OKC to be much more competitive this year. They had a couple good games against the warriors last year as well. I wouldn't expect them to win here but I am very confident in them staying within that spread. I almost never bet multiple units this early, but give me OKC +12.5 for 2U opening night. GL
As far as the second game, I don't see much value. Boston should be the much better team but they haven't looked great in preseason and are gonna need time to figure things out. I will, however, make a play on the under if this total is anywhere over 202. It hasn't been released for me just yet.

Westbrook isn't playing. Just look at how the warriors started last year. I haven't heard anything about them pushing for the win record or anything this year, and it'll be more of the same. They just aren't motivated. They don't practice much. They didn't take the preseason seriously. This is still a very competitive team without westbrook. 12.5 is a lot. They will cover it!

Also I added the celtics under 208.5. Love that number. They went under that 5 of 9 last year, and they had some REAL low scoring games between them. The celtics have looked out of sync on offense and both teams should struggle to shoot the ball here early. I think this game ends up in the 180-190 range.

Feel like the Warriors know internally that this is the final year of this team staying together so yeah them chasing the win record is probably in their minds. Plus no Westbrook and his intensity especially against the Warriors like last year' opening game isn't gonna help this Thunder team when they are down 15 in the 3rd. PG is not a high intensity guy. Plus Adams is questionable and may not play. Plus too many new players for the Thunder that don't have any chemistry yet. Donovan is horrible with rotations and/or creating rhythm. I dunno, I'm a big Thunder fan and I'm leaning on taking the -11.5

Don't you guys see that EVERYONE is on the warriors? On a very public heavy day of opening night? And yes golden state blew them out once but OKC did the same and third match up was close. If Adams doesn't play, I love the game less. I took it assuming westbrook would be out. Schroeder is no westbrook but hes one of the best back ups they could have in the league. Obviously Golden state has their days where they blow good teams out by 40 and make you wonder why you ever doubted them, but this line, even with injuries, is just too high for the first game of the year. Warriors have started slow and had issues being motivated, and another ring is just going to make that even worse. There's no sure plays. It's a percentage game. Without westbrook, this line should be 9ish in my opinion. Those extra 3 points are significant enough to make it a positive play and I'm happy with it win or lose.

Well Ill be honest this will be my first season betting on the NBA. But I watch a lot of games so I'll see how good I can cap them. My problem with these spreads are the 3rd/4th qtrs. Everything you said could happen, Schroader could keep the Thunder close and KD and Steph could just be cold and start slow and unmotivated but still that late 3rd/early 4th could blow this thing out quickly. I'd feel way better if this game was in OKC. OKC stinks in GS with Westbrook or not. Lots of fans will be ready after a ton of time off and the Championship rings ceremony, they will come to play and make that home court advantage count.
What sucks is even if GS comes out guns blazing up by 25-30, the stars will get benched in the 4th and OKC could easily come back and cover. Really think Im going to just bet the first halfs of NBA game more often then not until I get a feel for it.
