Thanks! Dang ADD!

Bucks @ Raptors-Raptors lose their 4th in a row against a much better Bucks team.
Blazers @ Pistons-Blazers won at Toronto the other night, but I don't see them winning 2 road games in a row.
Pacers @ Celtics-Celtics should remain undefeated with Indy coming to town.
Nets @ Heat-I don't see the Heat losing 4 in a row. Butler will will them to victory.
Cavs @ Knicks-Cavs are a mess right now due to injuries, but I don't see them dropping both games to the Knicks. Donovan Mitchell will show up in a big way.
Pelicans @ Thunder-OKC will continue beating the teams they should beat.
Hornets @ Rockets-I'll take the Rockets at home.
Nuggets @ Wolves-Nuggets should coast to another easy win.
Bulls @ Mavs-Luka leads Dallas to another dub.
Grizzlies @ Jazz-Grizzlies really are that bad. It is puzzling to me because they've played without Ja before and played well.
Clippers @ Lakers-I'll take the Clips in the Battle of Los Angeles. With Harden on the team there are a lot of LA-area players on the team. They'll want this more than Lebron and KD.
Kings @ Warriors-Kings are a good team, but Golden State will send a message that they're still the best team in NoCal.
Wizards @ Hawks-Trae Young leads the Hawks to 3 in a row.

Raptors at Sixers - Home cooking for the Sixers.

Nice comeback last night by the Spurs. Wemba sure brings it in the 4th quarter.

Blazers Pistons
Bucks Raptors
Wizards Hawks
Pacers Celtics - Celtics still on pace to win 74.
Nets Heat
Cavs Knicks - Back to back can the Knicks win both? Cavs look bad. If not for Mitchell making the hero shot opening night they would be 0-4 right now.
Pelicans Thunder
Hornets Rockets
Nuggets Wolves - When will the Nuggets lose a game?
Bulls Mavs
Grizz Jazz - Really surprised how bad Memphis is so far.
Kings Warriors - Curry is red hot.
Clippers Lakers

7-6. Who would have thought the Bucks and Nuggets would both get blown out?

[Oklazona Bound]

Raptors Sixers - First Sixers game since the Harden trade. They have not played since Sunday. Rested or rusty?
Pistons Pelicans - Pistons very easy schedule so far and only 2-3. Going to be another long season.
Magic Jazz - I heard the Jazz have the worst defensive rating in the NBA so far. They were hot last night. My guess not going to be hot 2 straight nights.
Spurs Suns - KD is playing a lot of minutes at 35yo. And they are only 1-2 with Booker out. Seems like they don't have any depth after the big 3. Its KD against the world. Eric Gordon is their 2nd best player right now. But still enough to beat the Spurs.

7-6 yesterday.

Raptors @ 76ers-Nick Nurse easily defeats his former team.

Magic at Jazz-Jazz at home in a close one. Magic lose 3 straight on their Western Conference road swing.

Spurs @ Suns-I had to do a double take on the schedule because I thought the Spurs played the Suns in Phoenix on Halloween. I guess they're playing again. Spurs eked it out in the last seconds last game. I'll take KD and the Suns to get revenge.

Pistons @ Pelicans-Give me the Pelicans as long as Zion is healthy.

2-2. 28-26 overall. Whoa! Wemby, way to go! Spurs could have folded but Wemby took over.

2-2 last night. Yes, I wasn't expecting that out of Wemby yet. Spurs beat Suns twice at Phoenix. I'm really surprised.

NBA In-Season tournament

11/3

Cavs at Pacers
Knicks at Bucks - Let's go Knicks! Let's go Knicks!
Wizards at Heat
Warriors at Thunder - Upset because Thunder play at home.
Nets at Bulls
Grizzlies at Blazers
Mavs at Nuggets - Champs at home.

[maniac77]

Cavs @ Pacers-It looks like Haliburton will be out so I'll take the Cavs.

Knicks @ Bucks-Bucks haven't looked great so far. Maybe they can put it together tonight.

Wizards @ Heat-Both teams are currently at the bottom of the East. I refuse to believe that the Heat will lose 5 in a row.

Nets @ Bulls-Nets have quite a few injuries, so I'll take da Bulls at home.

Grizzlies @ Blazers-Memphis hasn't won yet, so I don't feel confident taking them.

Mavs @ Nuggets-Doncic vs Jokic. This should be a fantastic game. I'll give the edge to the Nuggets at home.

Warriors @ Thunder-Steph Curry has still got it. Warriors win 5 in a row.
