Nets vs. Bucks, Tues Oct 19, 7:30pm (EDT)

PICK: Giannis Antetokounpo to score 2+ threes (+225)

We're going for value with our prop play of the night here, taking the Finals MVP to knock down a couple from range.

Three-point shooting has never been Giannis' biggest strength but if there's one thing we know about this man, it's how hard he works to better himself in every aspect of the game. 

In three short stints in the preseason, the Greek Freak hit four of six attempts from deep, hitting two apiece in the last two games against the Jazz and Mavericks.

To add to this, check out Giannis' regular season numbers from three when playing the Nets last season:

• 2 of 6
• 4 of 8
• 4 of 12

If you're feeling brave, we recommend a little sprinkle on 3+ made threes (+810) as well!

PICK: James Harden 12+ assists (+158)

James Harden gets dimes. The 2018 MVP is the main facilitator of this team, having averaged 10.9 assists per game since his move from Houston.

Harden recorded 12+ assists in 19 games last season, with a further nine games seeing him go for 10 or 11. 

With shooters around him like KD, Joe Harris and Patty Mills, we're backing him in to pass the rock around a lot tonight, especially with doubts about his three-point game early in the season due to the new rule around fouls.

Warriors vs. Lakers, Tues Oct 19, 10:00pm (EDT)

PICK: Russell Westbrook UNDER 19.5 (-110)

Russell Westbrook will start this season as the No. 1 facilitator on offense but the No. 3 scoring threat - and with good reason because he's an awful shooter. The former OKC, Houston and Washington point guard needs to know his role on this team as someone who can drive and get the shooters open as well as run the pick and roll with Anthony Davis. Expect a lot of assists and not a lot of points for Russ.

PICK: LeBron James o23.5 points (-109)

On the back of taking Russ' points total Under, we're going to take LeBron's Over. LBJ sets himself for particular games, and facing Steph Curry on opening night is certainly one of those. With Russ taking some of the responsibility of bringing the ball up and facilitating, expect Bron to score with more freedom and even find himself open for corner threes occasionally.
