NBA Wonderful Story: Clippers beat Jazz, Spurs beat Mavericks, Trail Blazers beat Timberwolves

Cavaliers VS Knicks

The Cavaliers’ lineup is not complete, the Knicks have a good start at home

National Basketball League Cavaliers VS Knicks (+1.5)

Recommendation: Handicap loss

The Cavaliers occupied the first place in the Eastern Conference in the regular season last season. With Mitchell and the Twin Towers as the foundation of the team, the strength is still guaranteed. In the offseason, the Cavaliers sent away Okoro and Jerome, and signed Big Ball and Nance Jr., relatively speaking, the strength should be slightly improved. However, after the start of the new season, Garland and Strus will rest for a period of time due to injuries. The absence of the two main players will still have a considerable impact on the team.

The Knicks finished third in the Eastern Conference in the regular season last season, and still showed good competitiveness when they eliminated the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals. During the offseason, the team fired Thibodeau and hired Mike Brown as head coach. On the basis of retaining the main lineup, they added two powerful players, Clarkson and Yabusele, to improve the team's overall strength. In addition, Mike Brown is not as dependent on the main force as Thibodeau, and I believe he can better utilize the depth of the team's lineup.

The sports betting index for this game has a handicap of 1.5 points for the away team Cavaliers. From the index, it can be seen that the strength of the two teams is still relatively similar. However, the Cavaliers have two main players absent, giving the Knicks a greater chance of winning. It is expected that the Knicks will beat the Cavaliers to get a good start to the season, and it is recommended to win away from home.

Nets VS Hornets

The two teams competed in a fierce battle, and the Hornets won with superior talent

National Basketball League Nets VS Hornets (-4.5)

Recommendation: Handicap win

The Nets are completely in a state of reconstruction this season. During the offseason, the team traded Cameron Johnson for Michael Porter Jr., who has a stronger offensive ability. The team's two main offensive points in the new season are estimated to be Michael Porter Jr. and Thomas. There are many masters of singles in the team, but they lack an organizer and there is no player who can be used as the cornerstone of the team. It is estimated that the team will focus on training young players in the new season.

The Hornets have not made many major adjustments to their lineup this offseason. The current lineup still has a lot of talent. Whether it is LaMelo Ball, Miller, or this year's No. 4 pick Kniper, they all have good talents. However, this young team has not yet developed a relatively mature tactical style, and still relies more on the players' own performance. Last season, the team was able to play an unbeatable offense, but they also made many mistakes on the field and their defense was not ideal.

The betting index for this game is that the Hornets have a handicap of 4.5 points. The current styles of both teams are chaotic battles. However, the Hornets are generally more talented, have stronger offensive capabilities, and have more scoring points. I am optimistic that the Hornets will win the game at home, and it is recommended to win the game by handicap.

Heat VS Magic

Upgraded offensive firepower, Magic easily defeated Heat at home

National Basketball League Heat VS Magic (-8.5)

Recommendation: Handicap win

The Heat retained the main frame of the lineup during the offseason, and traded Powell to supplement the offensive firepower. Shiro is injured and will miss the beginning of the new season. Judging from the preseason, the Heat's performance is not ideal. Although the young player Weir has shown considerable progress, Adebayor is in a sluggish state, and Powell has not yet played a good enough state. It is estimated that the Heat will need some time to adjust at the beginning of the season.

The Magic introduced Bane, a good ball-handling offensive point, during the offseason to further upgrade the team's offense. In the past two seasons, the team has maintained a good level on the defensive end, but it is difficult to maintain stable performance on offense. They introduced Bane to solve this problem. Although the main players did not play for a long time in the preseason, the team as a whole still showed good form. The Magic are expected to go further in the new season.

The lottery index for this game gives the Magic a handicap of 8.5 points. Judging from the current status and strength of the two teams, the Magic is undoubtedly the more dominant side. The Heat still lack the important offensive point of Shiro, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to compete with the Magic. The Magic are expected to win easily at home, and it is recommended to win by handicap.

Raptors VS Hawks

The Raptors performed tough and the Hawks passed the test at home

American Professional Basketball League Raptors VS Hawks (-5.5)

Recommendation: Handicap as the main loser

Ingram made his Raptors debut in the preseason and showed good form. The Raptors' lineup does not look weak in the new season. Although there are no particularly big-name stars, it is still a tough nut to crack. After Ingram joined, the team has greatly improved in terms of scoring stability and shooting. Although Barnes is relatively comprehensive, shooting is his shortcoming. Barrett has also shown more and more pragmatism. The Raptors are expected to cause trouble for some teams in the new season.

The Hawks added Porzingis during the offseason, which greatly improved their inside strength. Although Porzingis's style of play is also biased towards shooting, in terms of height, it is still much better than Capela, who has reduced athletic ability. Walker has been supplemented in the backcourt. He has very good abilities in both offense and defense. Overall, his strength has increased compared to last season.

The lottery index for this game has the Hawks handicap of 5.5 points. In terms of the overall strength of the team, the Hawks may still have a slight advantage, but the Raptors are not bad overall, and they also have good hardness in the interior and on the front line. It is estimated that they can cause a lot of trouble for the Hawks. The author believes that the two teams will fight fiercely until the last minute. It is estimated that the Hawks will win by one or two goals. It is recommended to take the lead in handicap..

The Jazz ended the regular season last season as the last in the Western Conference. In the end, they received the fifth overall pick and selected potential newcomer Ace Bailey. In the three preseason games, he averaged 16+4.7+1.7 steals per game and performed very well. The team's signings during the offseason were relatively satisfactory. Nurkic, Niang, Li Keer and others did not help the team's reconstruction very much, and the overall strength did not change much from last season. In terms of injuries, Bailey is likely to be able to play due to illness, while Collier and Niang are absent due to injuries.

In this game, the Jazz conceded 9.5 points at home. The Clippers' current lineup has steadily improved. Although Powell is missing, the addition of several new players can make up for the scoring gap to a certain extent. The Jazz's lineup has not changed much, and it seems that the current trend of reconstruction is continuing. It is recommended that the transferee be responsible.

Spurs VS Mavericks

A battle between horses and bulls! The Spurs beat the Mavericks

in the National Basketball League Spurs VS Mavericks (-2.5)

Recommendation: Handicap

The Spurs ended the regular season last season ranked 13th in the Western Conference. The team's record was neither good nor bad, but they were lucky enough to receive the second pick and select Harper, and he also became the key player for this rebuilding team. The biggest signing of this summer, he averaged 8.7 points and 4.7 assists in less than 20 minutes per game in the preseason. Although the data is not eye-catching, his performance on the field is not bad. With the addition of Wenban Yama and Fox, the Spurs' current lineup is expected to hit a playoff spot. In terms of injuries, the two core players Fox and Sohan need to miss the game due to injuries, while Olynyk and Waters are also unable to play.

The Mavericks ended the regular season ranked tenth in the Western Conference last season. However, they failed to win the play-offs and missed the playoffs. However, they were luckier than the Spurs in receiving the No. 1 pick with a very low probability and selected Flagg. His average contribution in the 4 preseason games was 11.3+4.5+2.8+1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks. In terms of injuries, Gafford is doubtful, Exum and Irving are absent.

In this game, the Mavericks had a home handicap of 2.5 points. After winning Flagg with the No. 1 pick, the Mavericks have taken a step further in terms of strength. However, the absence of core Irving due to injury is a hidden danger. The Spurs' overall performance is not bad, winning all 5 games in the preseason. In terms of injuries, Fox and Sohan are absent. Judging from the handicap, the Spurs' handicap is not high, which is not a good thing for the Mavericks. The author is still more optimistic that the Spurs can win away from home. Recommended handicap.

King VS Sun

A new look! The Suns overturned the Kings at home

American Professional Basketball League Kings VS Suns (-3.5)

Recommendation: Handicap win

The Kings ended the regular season with ninth place in the Western Conference last season. They failed to win the playoffs and missed the main game. The performance of signings during the offseason was also not good. The team struggled to pursue Kuminga but failed in the end. At the end of the offseason, Westbrook was signed with a minimum salary, which was considered the biggest signing. The team's current lineup is basically unchanged, and its strength is basically the same as last season. In terms of injuries, the two core players Sabonis and Murray were absent due to injuries, and Jones also missed the game due to illness.

The Suns ended the regular season ranked 11th in the Western Conference last season. They had the three giants Booker, Durant and Beal last season, but their performance was very unsatisfactory and eventually the three parted ways, with Beal and Durant leaving for Los Angeles and Houston respectively. However, they exchanged Durant for the younger Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks, which can be regarded as reversing some losses. On the other hand, they also introduced Mark Williams. As for the rookies, they chose Maluachi and Flaming. Although the lineup is not as star-studded as last season, it is still worth looking forward to. In terms of injuries, Jaylen Green missed the game with a hamstring problem, and Allen is doubtful.

The Suns' home handicap in this game is 3.5 points. After a series of operations by the Suns during the offseason, the starting lineup has undergone tremendous changes in the new season. At the same time, new aid Jaylen Green is unable to appear due to injury, so intuitively speaking, the strength of the Suns is not that strong; the Kings are missing two starters, Savoy and Murray. Last season's stretch performance and insufficient signings, the Kings' overall strength is not that good. The Suns handicap in this game still shows some support. It is recommended to win by handicap.

Timberwolves VS Trail Blazers

Yang Hansen makes his debut! The Trail Blazers compete with the Timberwolves at home

American Professional Basketball League Timberwolves VS Trail Blazers (+4.5)

Recommendation: Transferee home win

The Timberwolves entered the playoffs with the sixth regular season ranking in the Western Conference last season. They defeated the Lakers in the first round and easily defeated the Warriors 4-1 in the second round. They eventually lost to the Thunder 1-4 in the Western Conference Finals and failed to advance further. The Timberwolves made little signings during the offseason. Except for the first-round pick Belanger, the core lineup is basically unchanged from last season. In terms of injuries, Edwards has back discomfort, but there is a high probability that he will be able to play.

The Trail Blazers ended the regular season last season ranked 12th in the Western Conference. The Trail Blazers made a lot of signings during the offseason. The most eye-catching one is the addition of Yang Hansen. His good performance in the summer league and preseason games is expected to get a chance to play in the rotation; in addition, Lillard returned to Portland again after returning to his roots, but his injury problems have made it doubtful when he can return to the court. In addition, the addition of veteran Holiday is also a big reinforcement. In terms of injuries, in addition to Lillard, Henderson and Rowe will also miss this game.

In this game, the Trail Blazers were given 4.5 points at home. The Timberwolves performed very strongly last season and reached the Western Conference Finals. This season's lineup has not changed and their strength should not be underestimated. The Trail Blazers' lineup has changed a lot, including Yang Hansen and Holiday. It is recommended that the transferee wins.
