Memphis Grizzlies vs Milwaukee Bucks: Grizzlies to win with handicap (+6) @ 5/6
Both teams enter this game hoping for a win to boost their confidence after starting the season slowly, with the Grizzlies at 2-3 and the Bucks at 1-3 so far. On top of that, there are many unknowns for this game since Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart, and Giannis Antetokounmpo are all listed as game-time decisions for tonight.
So, considering all of this, I can see this being a very close game, one that might be decided in the final minutes. With that in mind, I've gone with the Bucks to win the game with handicap since I don't see them losing by more than 6 points, especially if Greek Freak ends up playing, which is likely.
Utah Jazz vs San Antonio Spurs: Spurs to win @ 11/10
The Jazz have lost all four of their games this season, while the Spurs have notched on win so far, along with three losses. That was pretty much expected from these teams, but the Jazz have been pretty atrocious so far, they have lost Taylor Hendricks for the season with an ankle injury, Lauri Markkanen is questionable for tonight, and there is bad atmosphere in the team after Collin Sexton was demoted to bench.
All in all, the Jazz seem to be in a full-on tank mode already and while this will be the second game of back-to-back for the Spurs, I can still see them beating Utah since they at least have some interest in winning games, at least for now.
Los Angeles Clippers vs Phoenix Suns: Under 223.5 total points @ 5/6
These two teams have already met once this season and it was a thrilling game that went to overtime, where the Suns emerged victorious by three points. Whether we will see another exciting duel I'm not too sure, so I went for under 223.5 total points instead since in their previous meeting we saw a total of 206 points before overtime.
Furthermore, LA Clippers have gone under 223.5 total points in all four of their matches so far and the Suns have done the same in three of the four games they've played.
