NBA Preseason Plays 10/17

NBA Preseason Pick #1: Utah Jazz @ Los Angeles Clippers

Rating: 3 units – Single Dime Play

Pick: Los Angeles Clippers (-4) @ -105 / 1.95 on Pinnacle Sports

Detailed Writeup:

This is a back to back spot for Utah and even though they easily beat the Lakers last night, with a lot of young guys in the team, this won't be an easy spot for them. On the other hand, the Clippers are still winless in the preseason and in fact, they haven't played for a while in this preseason. The LA team actually played at Utah earlier in the preseason, in a tough back to back spot for the Clippers. Now the situation is reserved and I believe the LA team will pick up an easy blowout win tonight.

NBA Preseason Pick #2: Toronto Raptors @ Oklahoma City Thunder

Rating: 3 units – Single Dime Play

Pick: Under 204,5 @ -103 / 1.97 on Pinnacle Sports

Detailed Writeup:

Even though Russell Westbrook will play tonight, I think the totals line for this game is overvalued. The Thunder is 4-0 Over on this preseason, but this matchup actually points to a relatively low scoring game in here, as both teams have nice frontcourt defenses that should prevent the opponent from scoring easy points down low. I believe this is the preseason game involving Oklahoma City that will finally go under the total posted and so, I'll take the Under in here.

NBA Preseason Pick #3: Golden State Warriors @ Miami Heat

Rating: 3 units – Single Dime Play

Pick: Over 204 @ -101 / 1.99 on Pinnacle Sports

Detailed Writeup:

Golden State's offense has been excellent in this preseason, while Miami's defense has been quite disappointing. The Warriors scored 104 points against Denver last night, even though they played without David Lee the whole game and Stephen Curry & Klay Thompson during the whole second half. I expect Golden State to continue using their diabolic pace tonight against a Heat team that has been poor on defense, but decent on offense during this preseason. I expect a high scoring game and so, I'll take the Over in here.
