Toronto over PHILADELPHIA (-5.5) - There is a lot of hype surrounding Elton Brand and the Sixers, but it may take them some time to jell. This is a good Toronto team that matches up well with Philly down low by throwing Chris Bosh and Jermaine O'Neal at Brand and Sam Dalembert.
ORLANDO (-7.5) over Atlanta - The Magic have Dwight Howard after what is likely another summer of growth. The Hawks did nothing to get better.
WASHINGTON (-6.5) over New Jersey - The Wiz are banged up, but the Nets aren't any good, healthy or otherwise.
Miami over NEW YORK (-3.5) - Favoring the Knicks over a healthy Dwyane Wade? Really?
Indiana over DETROIT (-10.5) - Seems a bit early to start handing out points all over the place when we don't know enough about these teams.
Sacramento over MINNESOTA (-5.5) - Not as sold on the Wolves' supposed revival as many around the nation. They can't guard anyone inside.
Phoenix over SAN ANTONIO (-2.5) - No Ginobili, and who knows how interested the Spurs are in any regular season game in the first place?
OKLAHOMA CITY (-2.5) over Milwaukee - Did you see the Bucks last night? They sent the Bulls to the line 44 times. The reigning last-place team in defensive efficiency will need some time to improve that mark.
Memphis over HOUSTON (-12.5) - Again, lots of points for opening night. Memphis has enough firepower to stay relatively close before falling away at the end.
Denver over UTAH (-7.5) - No Deron Williams, no interest in giving more than a touchdown with Utah.
New Orleans (-5.5) over GOLDEN STATE - A certain point guard colleague of Deron Williams from the 2005 draft has no such injury concerns.
LA Lakers (-8.5) over LA CLIPPERS - Catch the Lakers last night? They're really good. Really. Good.
Last night: 2-1
Season: 2-1
