Milwaukee Bucks (7-0) @ Minnesota Timberwolves (4-4)
MIN +3.5 – The Bucks are seeking to start 8-0 for the first time in franchise history, and have gotten off to the hot start in the absence of Khris Middleton and Pat Connaughton.
The T-Wolves welcomed Rudy Gobert after his defection from Utah this offseason, forming a formidable rim protecting duo with Karl-Anthony Towns.
Anthony Edwards leads Minnesota in scoring (23 PPG) and has had a major impact since being selected first overall in the 2020 NBA Draft.
Edwards rises to the occasion tonight and notches his 4th 30-point performance of the season, knocking off the NBA’s last undefeated team.
PICK: MIN +3.5
Portland Trail Blazers (5-2) @ Phoenix Suns (6-1)
PHO -12 – This is a big spread given the records of these two teams, but Damian Lillard is out again for Portland, and that really widens the gap between these two Western Conference foes.
Phoenix looks exactly like the same well-oiled machine they were last season, and currently rank 2nd in the NBA in points scored (118 PPG).
The Suns got 29 points from their 4th scoring option in Cameron Johnson, and are all-around as talented as any team in the NBA.
Too many weapons for the Suns against a shorthanded Blazers squad, I’m expecting Phoenix to win big at home.
PICK: PHO -12
Utah Jazz (6-3) @ Los Angeles Lakers (2-5)
UTA +3.5 – Despite losing both Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert last season, the Jazz have cobbled together a 6-3 start and outplayed expectations early on.
The Lakers started 0-5, but are aiming for a 3rd straight victory tonight at the Staples Center.
The reality seems to be that the Lakers simply aren’t a very good basketball team, beyond LeBron James and Anthony Davis. LeBron and AD will undoubtedly be the best players on the court, but Utah is playing far better team basketball.
Collin Sexton has provided a spark coming in from Cleveland, and has largely been a catalyst of the early success for the Jazz.
The unselfishness of the Jazz (5th in the NBA in assists per game) will prevail tonight over the hero-ball of the Lakers.
PICK: UTA +3.5
