NBA Classics: The nuclear-free Pacers cannot defeat the Thunder, the Warriors lose to the Nuggets at home and miss the winning streak

Thunder VS Pacers

Reproduce the championship battle! The nuclear-free Pacers can't help the Thunder

American Professional Basketball League Thunder VS Pacers (+7.5)

Recommendation: Transferee and loser

The Thunder won the last game with a double overtime victory over the Rockets. In this game, the Thunder showed the strength of the defending champion. The team almost passively chased points for the entire game. Alexander was also tightly guarded by the opponent and did not have many opportunities, but they were able to stand up at the critical moment. In the second half, Alexander hit consecutive key goals to force overtime, and at the same time caused Durant's foul free throw to kill the game in the second overtime. In the end, Alexander scored 35 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Holmgren contributed 28+7. Wiggins and Mitchell scored 10 points and 16 points respectively on the bench. Overall, the Thunder's strength is still the first level, and Jaylen Way can rest assured. In terms of injuries, in addition to Jaylen Way, the team's new injured person is Caruso, who has a concussion. Wallace and Dortmund are doubtful but have a high probability of playing.

The Pacers will face the first game of the new season tomorrow. Their form last season was up and down, but they entered the playoffs with a very strong performance and went all the way to the finals. However, in the end, core Haliburton was injured, and the team failed to win the championship trophy with a total score of 3-4. The Pacers' overall lineup has changed a lot during the offseason. On the one hand, the team's core Haliburton has suffered an Achilles tendon injury and it is basically difficult to return this season. On the other hand, the inside core Turner left Milwaukee. In addition, McConaughey, Jackson and Cam Jones missed the first game.

In this game, the Pacers conceded 7.5 points at home. Although the Thunder won the first game of the season with difficulty, their comeback victory against the powerful Rockets showed the strength of the defending champions; the Pacers performed tenaciously, but lacked the core Haliburton. The preseason performance showed that the team had many players but lacked key cores. In addition, the high handicap in this game gave the Thunder greater support. It is recommended that the transferee be responsible.

Nuggets VS Warriors

missed the winning streak! The Warriors lost to the Nuggets at home

American Professional Basketball League Nuggets VS Warriors (-1.5)

Recommendation: Point Handicap

The Nuggets will usher in the first game of the new season tomorrow. The team defeated the Clippers 4-3 last season and reached the second round. However, they lost to the eventual champion Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals. The Nuggets made certain changes to their core lineup in the off-season. They sent away Porter Jr., who was not very stable, in exchange for outside shooter Johnson. However, Johnson's performance in the preseason was not very stable, and could even be said to be unsatisfactory. In addition, they also introduced Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown, and forcibly retained Valanciunas. The current lineup is thicker than last season. In terms of injuries, all members of the Nuggets are currently healthy.

The Warriors got off to a good start by defeating the Lakers by 10 points in the first game of the season. In this game, Curry still scored a steady 23 points, 4 assists and 3 steals. Butler continued to create damage and got a team-high 31 points and 5 rebounds. Kuminga was not affected by the contract extension and contributed 17+9+6. Substitute Hield hit 5 three-pointers and scored 17 points. Overall, the Warriors lineup has not changed much, and the rotation is not much different from last season. In terms of injuries, Moody and Melton continue to be injured.

This game started with a 1.5-point handicap to the Warriors at home, which was later adjusted to a 1.5-point handicap. The Nuggets made some adjustments to the lineup during the offseason, and the strength of the lineup has increased due to the intensity of signings. The Warriors performed well in the first game and the core status was relatively good, but the initial set and subsequent adjustments did not support the Warriors enough. In addition, the Nuggets are also considered the Warriors' nemesis. They have won 9 of the past 10 games against the Nuggets, and the last game ended their 9-game losing streak. Recommended handicap.
