We are also on the Oklahoma City Thunder UNDER 53.3 wins this season as our TOP NBA Season Win total.
Simply put, this is the Carmelo pick. One: I believe the Knicks are going to get up for this game to give a little pay back to Melo. Two: I believe it's going to take awhile for the Thunder to gel. Should the Thunder win? Absolutely. But 13 points is a LOT to lay in the first game of the season.

Play on: UNDER 208½ -110

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Bulls/Raptors UNDER 208.5

The Chicago Bulls are really going to struggle scoring the ball now that they are without two of their best players in Bobby Portis and Nikola Mirotic. These two are stretch forwards who were going to help make this offense work better than many expected. And they're also without Zach LaVine and Kris Dunn coming into the season. I just don't see where the points are going to come from. So instead of laying the 13 points with the Raptors tonight, which is adjusted for these injuries, and I think the better bet is with the UNDER. Give me the UNDER.

NFL | Chiefs vs Raiders
Play on: Chiefs -3 +110 at 5Dimes

Kansas City has committed one turnover all season and that came in Game 1. Oakland is unlikely to change that much if at all with just five forced turnovers all season. Add these elements together and road favorites like the Chiefs averaging 1.25 or fewer turnovers/game, against a team with 1.25 or less turnovers/game forced, after four consecutive games where they committed one or less turnovers, are 24-4 ATS, 85.7%!

NCAA-F | Memphis vs Houston
Play on: OVER 62 -103

Dave's Thursday Free Play:

1* on Memphis/Houston OVER 62

The Key: Considering Memphis and Houston combined for 92 points last year in a 48-44 home victory by the Tigers, I think this number is short Thursday night at only 62 points. They also combined for 69 points in 2015. Not much has changed with these teams. Memphis is even better on offense than it was last year, and it boasts a terrible defense. Houston is similar defensively and slightly down offensively compared to last year. But after they combined for 1,179 total yards last year, I'll take my chances with the OVER here. The OVER is 7-1 in Tigers last 8 Thursday games. The OVER is 9-4 in Cougars last 13 Thursday games. Take the OVER.

Play on: Clippers -6 -103 at 5Dimes

Clippers
The Los Angeles Lakers have a new front office led by Hall of Famer Magic Johnson and a new roster that includes No. 2 overall draft pick Lonzo Ball. The Los Angeles Clippers, who will serve as the visitors in the arena shared by both teams in their season opener on Thursday, have a new look as well after waving goodbye to point guard Chris Paul over the summer.
The preseason expectations are lower with the departure of Paul, but Los Angeles did manage to keep another of its stars by signing power forward Blake Griffin to a five-year, $173 million extension. Griffin averaged 21.6 points and 8.1 rebounds last season but only played in 61 games - the third straight season in which he failed to reach 70 games - and is excited for the opportunity to work with his new teammates.
Los Angeles owned the league's third-worst scoring defense in 2016-17, allowing an average of 111.5 points.
The Clippers have taken three straight and 14 of the last 15 in the series.
Clippers are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Lakers are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 vs. NBA Pacific.

Play on: Dodgers -155 at 5Dimes

Jack's Free Pick Thursday: Los Angeles Dodgers -155

The Los Angeles Dodgers will close out the series tonight. Clayton Kershaw gets his shot at redemption here after previous postseason struggles, and I think he takes advantage and closes the door on the Chicago Cubs.

Kershaw has gone 18-4 with a 2.31 ERA in 27 starts this season. Surprisingly, Kershaw has only pitched in one series clincher, throwing six scoreless frames to beat Atlanta in the 2013 NLDS. He'll clinch his second series tonight.

Jose Quintana posted a 4.76 ERA in eight starts at Wrigley Field this season. He'll be backed by a suspect Chicago offense that has had all seven of their runs in four games in this series scored on homers. Dodgers relievers have pitched 20 consecutive scoreless innings while giving up only three hits in the series.

The Dodgers are 25-8 in their last 33 vs. NL Central opponents. Los Angeles is 8-1 in its last nine vs. a team with a winning record. The Dodgers are 6-1 in the last seven meetings with Chicago. Bet the Dodgers Thursday.

Play on: UNDER 219½ -108

Free Pick on Lakers/Clippers UNDER
I really like the value here with the UNDER in tonight's showdown between the Lakers and Clippers on TNT. This would have been a decent number last year, but these are two completely different teams. The Lakers are adjusting to life with rooking point guard Lonzo Ball. He's extremely talented, but his jump shot still needs a lot of work.
I think Ball is going to have his hands full in this one, as he's up against one of the best defenders at the position in Patrick Beverley. He's going to do everything in his power to make life miserable for Ball and if he struggles the offensive output figures to take a hit.
This Lakers team also has a new focus on the defensive end, as they really made it a point of emphasis to get better on that side of the ball. They showed some positive signs of being improved in the preseason and I think it carries over here against a Clippers team that figures to find life a lot more difficult offensively without Chris Paul at the point. Not to mention they lost their best 3-point shooter in J.J. Reddick and elite bench scorer Jamal Crawford.
It doesn't hurt matters that the UNDER has cashed 9 times in the last 11 meetings. Take the UNDER!
