A real post? No. But since the NBA season is all tipped off those (That's right...those. Plural. As in multiple posts. Nice.) will be coming later tonight. I am here to present my hypothetical locks of the night. The hypothetical is included because I have no disposable income and gambling is illegal. But the locks are real. Very real. They say that daily gambling on individual NBA games is just about impossible to turn a profit on. I'm here to prove them wrong (but probably won't). Tonight's picks (lines courtesy of SportsBook)...
Legion of Doom -7.5 over PHILADELPHIA 76ERS
Jason Kapono is starting for the 76ers. That's really all the information one needs but I'll go slightly more in-depth. Jrue Holiday and Spencer Hawes won't be able to take advantage of the Legion's weaknesses like Rondo and the Boston frontcourt did last night. Dwyane Wade will play better with a game under his belt. LeBron will be pissed. The 76ers aren't nearly as strong as Boston defensively. Back-to-back games shouldn't be an issue this early in the season. LoD in a rout.
MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES -3.5 over Sacramento Kings
Tyreke Evans' suspension is the driving force behind this pick. Get it? Cause he was suspended for driving 120 mph? Anyway, I believe in the Timberwolves. Or, at least, I believe that Kevin Love will outplay rookie Demarcus Cousins and that the Kings cannot match up without their best player. It's in Minnesota and I think the Wolves carry over their good play from preseason. At least for a night.
