NBA News: The Trail Blazers are expected to win the Nuggets, the 76ers defeat the Celtics, the Lakers capture the Grizzlies

Hawks VS Pacers

It’s hard to win  The Pacers lost to the Hawks at home

American Professional Basketball League  Hawks VS Pacers (+1.5)

Recommendation: Handicap win

The Hawks defeated the Nets in the last game. They currently have a record of two wins and three losses, but in the match against the Nets In the Nets game, star Trae Young suffered a knee sprain and retired from the game. Fortunately, Jaylen Johnson performed well. He scored 23 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in an efficient offense. Okongwu also contributed a double-double on the bench. However, Daniels, who performed well last season and got a contract extension, has not been in good form since the start of the game, especially on the offensive end. His shooting percentage is only 30%. Trae Young will miss tomorrow's game.

The Pacers have been unlucky since the start of the season and have lost four games in a row without a win. The points difference in three of the games has been 6 points or less. Marcelin, who was originally in good shape to carry the team, also suffered injuries after playing two games. Previously, he averaged a team-high 31 points and 7 rebounds per game. Now he can only rely on Siakam to support him. As many as six of them will not be able to play in tomorrow's game. Furfe and Pete are doubtful.

In terms of sports betting handicap, the visiting team has a handicap of 1.5 points. Considering the current situation of the two teams, although Trae Young is absent, Jaylen Johnson has performed well this season and they have many players who can play. The Pacers are full of injured soldiers. The author believes that they are still difficult to win, so I recommend the handicap to win.

Celtics VS 76ers

Remain unbeaten The 76ers defeated the Celtics at home

American Professional Basketball League Celtics VS76ers (-3.5)

Recommendation: Handicap victory

The Celtics have been in good form recently and lost three games in a row at the beginning of the season After that, they won two consecutive games. In the last game, they defeated the strong enemy Cavaliers. In this game, they were full of firepower. They scored 40 points in the first quarter. As many as eight people in the team scored in double figures. Brown scored a game-high 30 points plus 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Houser on the bench threw 7 three-pointers and felt hot. However, the starting backcourt combination of White and Pritchard was very inefficient, which is also a major hidden danger.

The 76ers have started the season with four consecutive wins without losing. Guard Maxi is in hot form, averaging a league-leading 37.5 points and 8.3 assists per game. No. 2 pick Edgecombe is also shining, averaging 22.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. He is also leading the latest rookie rankings. Star Embiid's condition is gradually improving, and George is expected to return next week.

In terms of sports betting handicap, the home team has a handicap of 3.5 points. Considering the current situation of the two teams, although the Celtics have been in good shape recently, the backcourt combination, especially Pritchard, has not been very good. The 76ers' backcourt double guns are full of impact, and Embiid is also in good shape. The author believes that the 76ers will continue to remain unbeaten, and recommend the handicap to win.

Raptors VS Cavaliers

Weak inside  The Raptors are difficult to defeat the Cavaliers on the road

American Professional Basketball League  Raptors VS Cavaliers (-7.5)

Recommendation: Handicap win

The Raptors have suffered four consecutive losses after defeating the Hawks in the opening game. In the last game against the Rockets, he They scored 121 points, including 21 of 40 three-pointers with a shooting percentage of over 50%. However, the team still suffered a miserable defeat. The main reason was that their inside line was too weak and they lost as many as 31 rebounds. In the absence of Poeltl, the Raptors could only put up a starting lineup with five small players. It was difficult to withstand the tall center. Poeltl will continue to be absent in tomorrow's game.

The Cavaliers lost to the Celtics in the last game and currently have a record of three wins and two losses. In the game against the Celtics, they scored 42 points in the first quarter, including an outrageous 10-for-12 three-pointers. However, in the second half, they suddenly lost power and star Mitchell was completely lost without scoring a point. As the core of the All-Star level, such a performance is rare. Garland, Strus and Merrill will be absent from tomorrow's game, and Mitchell and Allen are doubtful.

In terms of sports betting handicap, the home team has a handicap of 7.5 points. Considering the current situation of the two teams, the Raptors have suffered a poor losing streak. The team lacks an absolute core and has no inside line. The Cavaliers are stronger overall and have twin towers inside. The author believes that it is difficult for the Raptors to stop the losing streak and recommend the handicap to win.

Knicks VS Bulls

First loss of the season  Knicks overturned Bulls away game

American Professional Basketball League  Knicks VS Bulls (+3.5)

Recommendation: Handicap win

The Knicks fell back after two consecutive wins at the beginning of the season and suffered two consecutive losses. In the game, although the star Brunson performed well and scored 36 points, Towns, the core of the inside, had no touch. He shot 2 of 12 in the game and his shooting rate was less than 20%. Anunoby was also extremely inefficient. Hart, who has been on the bench this season, has no status at all and only averaged 3.7 points per game in three games. Brown still needs to find the correct way to use him. Towns will most likely play in tomorrow's game.

The Bulls have started the season in hot form and have won four consecutive games without losing. Without a superstar, the team plays very well as a team. Gidi, who averages the highest score in the team, only has 19.5 points per game and cannot reach 20 points. The team ranks in the top three in the league in several important statistics such as assists, inside points and bench points. If the Bulls can continue this performance, and with the return of two important rotations, Coby White and Collins, they will have a chance to achieve better results..

In terms of sports betting handicap, the visiting team has a handicap of 3.5 points. Considering the current situation of the two teams, the Knicks have suffered a losing streak and are in urgent need of rebounding. Brunson is in excellent personal condition. Towns no longer has a confrontation disadvantage when facing Vucevic. However, the Bulls' star quality is dim. Facing opponents with better defense, the author believes that the Bulls will be unable to defend their home court and recommend an away win.

Lakers VS Grizzlies

Reeves continues to shine, the Lakers captured the Grizzlies in an away game

National Basketball League Lakers VS Grizzlies (-3.5)

Recommendation: Handicap

In the absence of two core players, James and Doncic, Reeves carried the team. In the 116-115 victory over the Timberwolves, Reeves contributed a large double-double of 28 points and 16 assists, and performed a floater at the last minute. His performance was quite outstanding. In this game, Laravia was a big surprise for the team. After the overall performance in the previous few games was not ideal, he broke out in this game, scoring 27 points on 10 of 11 shots, including 17 points in the third quarter. Ayton's 17 points and 10 rebounds were relatively stable, while Knecter contributed 15 points off the bench.

The Grizzlies defeated the Suns 114-113 in the last game. Morant scored 28 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. Jackson scored 18 points and 6 rebounds. After returning from injury, he has not yet returned to his best form. Aldama had 14 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists as a substitute, and Coward had 14 points. The Grizzlies are currently mainly troubled by injuries. There are not many people who can play, and there are relatively few ball-holding points in the backcourt.

The betting index for this game has the Grizzlies handicap by 3.5 points. Both teams have been greatly affected by injuries. The Lakers have injured two generals, while the Grizzlies have injured several rotations. Morant's leadership and the home game make the handicap more optimistic about the Grizzlies. However, Reeves has been gaining momentum recently, and the Grizzlies' current defense is not very good. The author is more optimistic about the Lakers winning away from home, and recommends handicap.

Jazz VS Suns

Booker leads the team to full bloom, the Suns burn the Jazz at home

National Basketball League Jazz VS Suns (-3.5)

Recommendation: Handicap win

The Jazz lost to the Trail Blazers 134-136 in the last game. Markkanen scored 32 points, Kessler scored 18 points and 12 rebounds, and George scored 29 points and 8 assists. On offense, Nurkic scored 13 points off the bench. Sensabaugh did not get many opportunities to play in this game despite his outstanding performance at the beginning. Although the Jazz showed a different spirit at the beginning, it is estimated that the team will still focus on training young people this season.

The Suns have recently suffered a 4-game losing streak. It can be said that their performance since the beginning of the new season has also been relatively difficult. After Dillon's absence, the team also lost a major offensive point. In the 113-114 loss to the Grizzlies, Booker scored 32 points, Mawei scored 20 points and 12 rebounds, O'Neal scored 18 points, and Allen scored 14 points. Currently, O'Neal and Oren can be used as two relatively stable shooting points, but the team does not have a relatively stable offensive starting point except Booker.

The betting index for this game has the Suns handicap by 3.5 points. Currently, the strength of both teams is relatively average, but the Suns will be a little more mature overall, and it is indeed unknown how much the Jazz will win. I am optimistic that the Suns will win at home, and it is recommended to win by points.

Nuggets VS Trail Blazers

Murray's status affects the situation and the Trail Blazers are expected to win the Nuggets in an upset

American Professional Basketball League Nuggets VS Trail Blazers (+5.5)

Recommendation: Handicap loss

After losing to the Warriors in the first game, the Nuggets achieved a 3-game winning streak and beat the Pelicans 122-88 in the last game. Jokic's performance is still stable, especially with Varan playing as a substitute, which can give him a lot of rest time. In the first four games, Jokic averaged 20.3 points, 14.5 rebounds and 11.3 assists per game, which is still a super core performance. Murray averaged 27 points per game, but his touch was a little up and down in the last game and he is doubtful for the next game. Gordon has also shown quite good form on the offensive end this season. Cameron Johnson's temporary performance is not satisfactory and it still takes time to integrate into the team.

The Trail Blazers have recently won two consecutive games. The start of this season is much better than people expected. However, Yang Hansen's performance is still struggling. He only got less than 4 minutes of playing time and only scored 2 points in the last game. The team defeated the Jazz 136-134. Holiday scored 27 points and 8 assists. Avdija performed steadily and scored 19 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. Grant scored 18 points as a substitute, Kamara scored 17 points, Sharp scored 18 points, and Wesley scored 10 points as a substitute.

The sports betting index for this game has the Nuggets handicap by 5.5 points. Judging from the strength of the lineup, the Nuggets must have the advantage. However, the Blazers' frequent fast-paced games this season may cause a lot of trouble for the Nuggets. Klingen's defense in the interior is also good. If Murray cannot play, then the Trail Blazers are expected to be upset at home. Even if the Nuggets win, the point difference is expected to be very small. It is recommended to handicap away losses.

Pelicans VS Clippers

Zion leads the team to play with vitality, and the old Clippers cannot stop the Pelicans

National Basketball League Pelicans VS Clippers (-10.5)

Recommendation: Handicap

The Pelicans have lost all 4 games and are the only team in the Western Conference that has not won. In the last game, they lost to the Nuggets 88-122. Zion still seems to have not fully assumed the responsibility of a leader, nor has he shown a strong desire to win. Poole's state has been ups and downs since joining. This year's No. 7 pick Fells has occasionally performed well, currently averaging 13.3 points per game in 4 games. Murphy's performance this season is not as amazing as last season.

The Clippers lost to the Warriors 79-98 in the last game. It can be said that the score of 79 points is quite low in the current NBA competition environment. In this game, Harden scored 20 points, Leonard scored 18 points, Zubac scored 14 points and 12 rebounds, and no other players scored in double figures. After Powell left, the team lost a dynamic scoring point. Bogdanovic's performance was not ideal, and Bill did not play much. Old Paul still has the ability to control the court, but has no offensive ability..

The betting index for this game has the Clippers handicap by 10.5 points. Judging from the recent state, both teams are actually not good. It may be that the Clippers' lineup is more trustworthy. However, the overall rhythm of the Clippers is currently slow, and they may be suppressed by the impact of the Pelicans. The key is to see whether Zion can play with vitality. I am optimistic that the Pelicans will sink the Clippers away from home and get their first win of the season. It is recommended to lose by handicap.
