Picked: Oct 19 @ 1:04pm

Analysis

The Orlando Magic should be the most motivated team on Wednesday’s slate. They not only have a new Coach in Sean Sweeney, but will face the team that gave them the most problems a season ago in the Atlanta Hawks. They lost all four matchups, three of them by double digits. Banchero never got into the flow of any of the games, and shot collectively just thirty percent from the field. This is a circled matchup for Banchero who starts his season off with a big debut.

Over/Under

Picked: Oct 20 @ 2:37pm

Analysis

I don’t think this total is going to stay at 5.5 much longer, so let’s grab the Over before it moves. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen owns a 3.59 GAA, and six of his seven appearances this season have gone Over. On the other side, Flyers goalie Dan Vladar has posted a 3.58 GAA through five games. Philadelphia’s offense hasn’t exactly been lighting it up, but we’re starting to see signs of life after the Flyers picked up their first two wins of the season in their last two outings. With UPL struggling to keep pucks out of the net, I expect Philadelphia to contribute its fair share.

Picked: Oct 20 @ 11:11pm

Analysis

FanDuel. Collin Murray-Boyles really came on late last season and in the playoffs. I’m counting on that parlaying into the start of this season, in what should be an advantageous matchup. Not only do the Bulls profile to be weak defensively in the paint, but they also lack a true center to start the start of the season, which could lessen Jakob Poeltl’s minutes. Murray-Boyles’ athleticism should play.

PTS + AST

Picked: Oct 19 @ 3:57pm

Analysis

FanDuel. This line is underselling Darryn Peterson’s role for the Jazz on opening night. The rookie will be thrown into the starting lineup, likely splitting on-ball duties with Keyonte George. This should be a game where Peterson’s ability to get to the bucket and mid-range game plays well against a Grizzlies team that’s weak defensively on the perimeter and plays fast. After a strong finish to the preseason, I like the rookie to start fast out of the gate. Playable to over 17.5.

Spread

Picked: Oct 20 @ 8:06am

Analysis

This is a very good New Mexico State team and one that has the ability to run the ball with James Jones. In fact, they can't just run the ball well but can hit the home run with said run game. Despite some talent across the roster, the Bearkats just aren't a good football team to trust in this spot.
