Play on: UNDER 223½ -110

1* Free Play on Thunder/Jazz under223½ -110
With high hopes of making noise in the Western Conference, the Jazz (0-0) are set open the season by hosting the Thunder (0-0) in Utah. The over/under is set at 223.5 points.
Oklahoma City will open the 2019-20 season with an unrecognizable roster compared to last year’s. Receiving draft picks and Chris Paul in return for their trades, the Thunder experienced the departure of Paul George and Russell Westbrook, who both led the team in scoring a season ago.
Don’t expect the best version of Chris Paul, who averaged 15.6 points, 8.2 assists, and 4.6 rebounds per game last season.
And while the Thunder were moving backwards with an eye on the future, the Jazz were adding to a roster that finished fifth in the conference last year.
Although Utah parted ways with Derrick Favors, they added the talents of Bojan Bogdanovic and Mike Conley. That pairing will be added to the key pieces of Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, forming a relatively complete team.
If Mitchell can take the next step and become the league’s next bona fide scoring talent who can place a team on his back and close games out, the Jazz have a legitimate chance to overcome the daunting duos in Los Angeles and Houston.

NBA | Nuggets vs Blazers
Play on: Nuggets -1 -109 at GTBets

Take the Denver Nuggets minus (or plus) the point(s) versus the Portland Trail Blazes. Denver (0-0) will have their first opportunity to extract a small level of revenge against the Trail Blazers after losing to Portland in Game Seven of the Western Conference Semifinals back on May 12th by a 100-96 score. The Nuggets added Oklahoma City Thunder starting power forward, Jerami Grant, to the roster in the offseason while expecting big things from Michael Porter, Jr, who was their top draft pick in 2018 but missed last year after having back surgery. Denver is 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 meetings with the Blazers — and they have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 6 games played when playing them on the road. Portland (0-0) will still be without Jusuf Nurkic for much of this season after he suffered a broken leg last March. The Trail Blazers also lost some important pieces from last year in Maurice Harmless and Evan Turner. Portland has failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games at home. Take Denver minus (or plus) the points. Best of luck — Frank.

Play on: Nuggets +1 -107 at pinnacle

10* FREE NBA PICK (Nuggets +1)
There's been a lot of talk about teams who have a shot to win it all this year. One of those teams is the Nuggets, yet you don't hear a ton about this team. Denver finished No. 2 in the west last year and have their entire core back, led by Jokic, Harris, Murray and Milsap. It's not just those 4, this is one of the deepest teams in the league that may be adding another star in Michael Porter Jr.
Denver has got better every year under Malone going from 33 to 40 to 46 to 54 wins. They couldn't have asked for a better team to face in their opener, as Portland knocked them out of the semifinals last year. It was a great run for the Blazers, but I think they are a bit overvalued in 2019. They lost some big pieces from that team and are still waiting on the return of Nurkic. Give me the Nuggets +1!

NBA | Kings vs Suns
Play on: Suns +2 -115 at Bovada

Dave’s Wednesday Free Play:
1* on Phoenix Suns +2
The Key: I like the Sacramento Kings, but they are a much better bet at home than on the road. The Kings are implementing a new system under Luke Walton and he failed miserably in his tenure with the Lakers, so it’s hard to trust him. The Phoenix Suns had one of the best hires of the offseason in Monty Williams and should be as competitive as they’ve been in years this season. The Suns have 3 very good players in Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton and Kelly Oubre and added Ricky Rubio and Daro Saric this offseason. That’s a pretty solid starting 5 if they go with it, though they probably are better suited to bring Oubre off the bench for a scoring punch. The home team is 7-2 SU in the last 9 meetings and we’re getting the Suns as home underdogs. Take Phoenix.
