Philadelphia Sixers at Orlando Magic
Orlando scored 109 points to Chicago and allowed 94. Maybe there were lucky with hitting 6 of 8 3-pointers. But what about 4 players scoring 10+ points, 21 assist and really deep 9 man rotation? I remember how this team looked like in offense last year when they had full roster with healthy Grant Hill and I see the same team at this moment. Sixers won against Atlanta at home by showing good defense but it was not difficult to stop one man Atlanta offense, today they will met completely different more balanced offense and if everything will go well with Magic this game could be 195-203 points game easily and maybe more. Also I expect Orlando to cover a spread simply because they are better, they are deeper and they are at home. Free NBA Pick #1: Orlando (-6)
Free NBA Pick #2: Over 190.5 Detroit Pistons at Boston Celtics
Boston scored only 87 points against NO Hornets, but don't forget about new full-court offense Boston is using this season. Look in last game stats sheet: 75FG + 39 FT + 19TO. It's about 114 attacks per game 15 more than NBA average. "Every player had to make 100 free throws before leaving the practice floor yesterday - a good thing, considering that the Celtics shot 61.5 percent (24-for-39) from the line Wednesday night. " - one factor to improve in Celtics game today. Detroit have problems in defence without Big Ben and they need to find a way how to play without him in paint. This could be a trouble for them and I don't trust them because of this at this moment of the season especially against Celtics dreaming about revenge for 9 losses in last 10 times. This game should be offensive minded game because both teams have yet to tune their defence. So something like 104-96 is expected and maybe it's worth to place small stake on over 194 here - new Boston offense worth it, by the way their last 8 h-2-h games average total is 198 points. Free NBA Pick #3: Over194 New York Knicks at Atlanta Hawks
I think that at this moment New York is better tuned team than Atlanta Hawks, and their win against Memphis should bring them some confidence. Free NBA Pick #5: New York (+2) Sacramento Kings at Chicago Bulls
180 points? Are you kidding? Chicago is not a Detroit Pistons yet and I doubt they will be them... Yes, they know how to defend but Sacramento have too much weapons in offense and their 97.8 average points in preseason is best prove of this. I expect both teams to score 90+ points here and easy over. Free NBA Pick #6: Over 180 Portland Trail Blazers at Golden State Warriors
Warriors a bit unexpectedly lost their season opener to Lakers and I expect them to be much more hungry for win today against poor short-benched Trail Blazers. It would be really difficult for visitors to hold up all 48 minutes against running Warriors with such short bench like Portland have. I expect comfortable win for Golden State Warriors this Friday evening. Free NBA Pick #7: GS -7.5
