The NBA is here and Sports Predictions is back! We have two games today for opening day. Let’s get to it!

Houston at Oklahoma City (-6.5):

Oklahoma City is raising the banner tonight, facing off against old Thunder player Kevin Durant, who makes his debut for the Rockets. The Thunder are just too deep and it will take time for the Rockets to gel, so we are going to lay the points and take Oklahoma City to start off the season with a comfortable win. Pick: Oklahoma City 116 Houston 104 (Loss)

Golden State (-2.5) at Los Angeles Lakers:

LeBron James is not playing for the Lakers, as Los Angeles squares off against long time rival Golden State. James vs Steph Curry is usually can’t miss basketball, but without LeBron, that leaves Luka Doncic to carry a heavier load. We like the Warriors to not only win, but cover the spread as they beat the Lakers in Los Angeles. Pick: Golden State 119 Los Angeles Lakers 112 (Win)

Happy picking everyone!
