Good start, let's keep it rolling.
1. Denver Nuggets -6.5 -- This play is partly motivated by a fade of Utah on the road, the Jazz are like two different teams at home and on the road. I fully expect Denver to come out guns blazing and just think that they have the better squad and better overall depth. I don't think anyone on Utah can guard Carmelo (maybe AK47 could have a few years ago, but not anymore). I expect an 8-9 point win here by Denver, but am not discounting the possibility of a blowout. If Denver shoots the ball well, they should cover this number easily. Teams at the beginning of the season sure seem (based on my non-data based subjective memory) to come out strong in their first few home games as opposed to when they start on the road.
2. Cleveland Cavaliers -5 -- I find it highly unlikely that the Cavs start 0-2, and I think they should be able to dominate Toronto, even on the road. Yes, it's somewhat risky to take a road team on a B2B, but I have no doubt that Cavs players are gonna be pissed about losing to Boston. I expect them to take it out on a constantly disappointing Toronto squad tonight.
3. Oklahoma City Thunder -7.5 -- Young team, bright future, going in the opposite direction of their opponents. Kevin Durant got into a little off-season tiff with Henry Abbott of TrueHoop regarding his +/- numbers (stats don't lie), so I expect him to come out and play angry today. Based on my look at this match-up, OKC has the advantage at the 1, 3, and 4 spots, the 5 spot is a push, and Sacramento has a distinct advantage at the 2. I'll take the Thunder in this spot.
Chalkerrific day, hope the favorites can act like they are in the NFL and roll over their adversaries today.
Best of luck to all, go crush the books!
