NBA Preseason Odds, Picks & Predictions
Check out our top NBA preseason picks and predictions for today’s games.
76ers vs. Celtics
The Boston Celtics won the NBA Championship last season and are now 2-0 in preseason with two wins against the Denver Nuggets. Boston is still waiting on Kristaps Porzingis' health. However, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum continue to dominate, and the depth in Boston is elite between Sam Hauser, Payton Pritchard, and Xavier Tillman. Boston will look to stay undefeated in the preseason against the Philadelphia 76ers. Paul George debuted against the Timberwolves and dropped 23 points in 26 minutes. He played well with Tyrese Maxey, but Philadelphia still lacks depth on the bench. It'll hurt them in the preseason and in the regular season. Give me Boston -7.5 (-110).
Pick: Boston -7.5 (-110)

Grizzlies vs. Bulls
The Memphis Grizzlies have Ja Morant, Brandon Clarke, Jaren Jackson Jr., and other players listed as game-time decisions. In preseason, that's definitely worrisome. Memphis lost its most recent matchup against the Charlotte Hornets, 119-94, after allowing 37 points in the fourth quarter. Memphis shot just 36.6% from the floor and watched Charlotte hit 50% from the field in the most recent game. On the other hand, the Bulls escaped Cleveland to earn their first preseason win last time out. Coby White was electric, but the offense still hit only 42.2% from the field and just 20% from three. Neither team moves the needle. Grab the Under 221.5 (-115).
Pick: Under 221.5 (-115)

Jazz vs. Spurs
The Utah Jazz will look for their fourth consecutive preseason win on the road against the Spurs tonight. The Jazz have added wins against New Zealand, Houston, and Dallas, but it came at the expense of Keyonte George, who now has a knee injury. However, the Spurs have way more players injured and potentially out in this game. It's currently unclear if Keldon Johnson, Tre Jones, Zach Collins, David Duke Jr., or Nathan Mensah will take the court. That would leave San Antonio with very little depth, even with Victor Wembanyama and Chris Paul in the starting lineup. Utah has the momentum. Let's add the Jazz at +3.5 (-120).
Pick: Jazz +3.5 (-120)
