The first game of tonight's slate pits two pretty bad teams against each another. The Pistons are going to be pretty awful this season, and most of that will have to do with how bad they are defensively. Detroit is allowing a massive 121.0 points per game, which is bottom five in the NBA. They are right around league average in scoring, but they can't keep up with their opponents on a nightly basis.
Washington probably isn't going to be any good either, but they have been better than Detroit, especially defensively. The Wizards are allowing just 108.0 points per game, and scoring 108.0 per game. That spells an extremely average season for an extremely average team.
MY PICK: I don't like either team really, but I'll take the Wizards at home here. Detroit on the road is not something I want to bet on right now.
The Mavericks looked extremely good in their game against the Memphis Grizzlies, destroying them 137-96. This is going to be a good team once again, but I'm not sold on them as a championship caliber team. Dallas is allowing 101.5 points per game so far, which is second best in the league. They are also scoring 121 per game, but again, this is early in the season with not much stats to back it up.
Zion Williamson was back for two seconds before suffering an injury again. That's obviously not great, but New Orleans has looked really good in the limited time we have seen them. They are scoring 125 points per game, which is third in the league, and allowing 114. I've been impressed with them up to this point. Keep in mind that Brandon Ingram (concussion) will miss this game for the Pels.
PICK: A tough game to predict, and both teams have looked good to start the year. Zion's status is up-in-the-air, so until that changes, I'll take the Mavericks here.
Here's the problem with this game: we don't know who is going to play for the Clippers on a nightly basis. Will Kawhi Leonard play? Who knows. Will Paul George play? No. That's why it is impossible for me to actually bet a Clippers game until we know who is playing. If we assume they are, LA is one of the best teams in the NBA, and should have no trouble with OKC. Problem is, we don't know.
Oklahoma City has a young team that is starting to grow and get better, starting with guys like Josh Giddy and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. They are towards the bottom of the league defensively, allowing 118.0 points per game, and around the middle offensively at 110.0 points scored per game.
PICK: Simply can't give one out until we know who is playing for the Clippers. However, the model has up-to-the-minute best bets that take into account what we currently know.
I was pretty low on Phoenix coming into this season, so I probably have an unfavorable view of them. Their offense has been bottom half of the league so far, averaging 110.0 points per game. The defense has been great however, allowing just 104.0 points per contest to start things out. That will certainly be tested by the Golden State Warriors here on Tuesday, but so far, Phoenix has been impressive.
The Warriors have been awful on defense early on this season, allowing 121.0 points per game, which is good for a bottom five number in the NBA to start things off. The difference is, the offense is lethal once again, scoring a massive 125.0 points per game, good for second in the NBA.
PICK: These are two evenly matched teams as far as how they have been playing so far. I think the Warriors are better, obviously, but this spot favors the Suns. I'll take them at a short number here.
