Brief Thoughts:

Detroit will fight hard until they get their first win...I will often pick winless teams (0-5 or greater) early in the season in what I feel are the right spots and catching OKC with a questionable bench off a big win in CHI last night on National TV is one of these spots to back-door a big number...

Cleveland Over 4 straight and they have some guards who can score and Kylie Irving likes to push the ball...Phoenix 3 straight Overs themselves, so we have Overs colliding, which is usually good for the Over...

Denver 3 straight Overs but this total has SHOT UP all day long and losing some value may keep me from betting this game...

Brooklyn off a 30-point loss, so since they are supposed to be a "good" team, this is an automatic play for me...

I talked about the Lakers' new coach angle...

Philly is the gang who cannot shoot straight as they are DEAD LAST in offensive FG% right now after they were in the top 5 for several weeks at the beginning of last season...

Dallas Over in all 5 games against a Knicks' team who hasn't allowed over 84 points in any game yet (I think -- going by memory on that one)...

Even though it's only ranked #5, I like that Miami Under quite a bit tonight...Of course the total has dropped at least 4 points today, which is why it fell in my rankings as I lost value there...
