I will take the Knicks handicap against the Magic. The Knicks have had a good season so far, especially when playing away, but they have faced some difficulties as MSG is just not working for them. Ironically, out of their 12-1 home record, they have lost to the Magic. However, it's worth mentioning that in their back-to-back game situation, they played two games in two nights. Anunoby returned to the starting lineup and the Knicks are almost at full strength, unless something unexpected happens before the game. Orlando is also in good shape, with Banchero returning, but I believe the re-integration process might slightly affect the team's momentum, as they didn't play much with Bane and Franz in the same game so far this season. I expect it will take some time for Orlando to reach their best form. I also don't expect the Knicks to defeat the same team at MSG for the second time, as they haven't been able to do so in the past, and the Knicks are almost always a safe bet when playing at home, with no game being decided by less than 8 points.

Even though I don't like the Bulls lately, it seems like they have a lot of talent, a good start to the season, and it seemed like they could have built chemistry from the beginning, but when they fell into a hole, they fell hard. Of course, the season is long and they might still be able to turn it around because they have the materials, but it's very noticeable that they don't have good defense and that's killing them with the young players. Giddey is probably one of my favorite players on this team, not counting Buzelis. He had a really bad game after the longer break with Indiana where it was hard to even expect such a poor performance from the Bulls, but I think today after the break it's a great time to redeem themselves and finally take the win. GSW has a lot of players on the injury list, Stephen won't play, so there is at least a chance to take the win, which they need like a breath of fresh air, and Giddey is the person who has to take the initiative in order for them to win.

For now, it's not clear about LeBron, but I will take the risk, if anything - he will return the money. Recently LeBron has been busy with completely different things, more withdrawn, not in the best condition yet, I think we will see a similar image until the playoffs, saving his health and from there he will start to show his level. Yes, these are just my theories, but it seems that there is no place for him to excel this season, so he can afford to not overexert himself, play as a team, choose assists, make about 10 shots, which on one hand seems like a slightly high odds for such an event. He can easily score points if he wants, assists may be more difficult, but with such an offense, 3 players can easily get 10 rebounds. So in my opinion, if LeBron breaks out, it is very optimal to choose him for this bet.

The Bosna club, which looks very good, has the same number of victories as Zvezda. At home, they defeated Spartak and only lost to Cedevita team after overtime. The strong Bosnian club shows very good results, and it is extremely difficult to play against them at home. Zvezda is a team that is struggling, and they seem to underestimate the ABA league, so I believe Bosnia will put up a good fight.

The Udinese team is a serious opponent at home, who likes to play defensively, but Genoa is in great form in attack, and I believe their scoring game will make these defensive matches interesting and productive. Including the cup, Genoa has played their last 5 matches very productively, and Udinese very rarely plays defensively, so I think at least this line will not result in a loss.

Being able to play effectively for Virtus team means being in good form and against a team like Tortona, one can expect points. Both teams in Italy on average score around 89 points, with Tortona scoring that total in their last 4 games, and after two less successful games in terms of points, Virtus should look good. Therefore, in the confrontation between these teams, points are a must.

The league underdogs, Velje, are very effective in their results, while Brodby, who are fighting for the title, also enjoy scoring goals. Both teams average 3 goals per match and since the weaker team plays at home, I believe we can expect a close match. Of course, either team could confidently score 3-4 goals, but in any case, I predict there will be goals.

Some unlucky ones encounter even greater misfortunes. In fact, in the past 5 matches, Wolverhampton has not been able to score a goal and must fall against United. There could be a lot of discussion about United, but it has to be acknowledged that their lineup is not bad and their game is only lacking in execution. Although the goals are not coming as desired, United has a high attacking potential which, in my opinion, should be utilized against complete outsiders.

First long-term bet for the new full season. Chelsea's coefficient is still over 2, which means they will finish in the Top 4, and I have no doubts about that. Last season, they finished fourth and strengthened their team impressively at the end of the season. It was clear that this young team is a force to be reckoned with, winning two trophies and beating PSG gave them a lot of confidence going forward. So yes, Chelsea will play Champions League football, but in terms of the main competition for the fourth place, I see Newcastle as the main rival and I don't think they have strengthened enough to challenge for it. As for the other teams, United and Tottenham? United have made too much progress in just one season and Tottenham have a lower level than Chelsea, plus they are also in the Champions League. Aston Villa seems destined for relegation and I don't see any other contenders. Overall, I believe Chelsea is closer to joining the top three of Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool, rather than fighting for the Top 4 spot, which I don't see them achieving in the upcoming Premier League season.

Milwaukee, with its rejuvenated team, currently looks very much alive, with Giannis continuing to improve as a player and proving to be a true leader, consistent, so I can easily imagine them in the top 4 of the regular season.

The Cavs are not convincing with 3.05, maybe they had a good start, but they collapsed in the playoffs.
76ers are above Orlando..
Knicks are definitely one of the options for second place with 4.6, but they still need to prove themselves in the playoffs.

The West is very competitive. In the past years, it was not clear who would rank in the top 4 - 11.
The Spurs will still be in the mix, and the Rockets look strong. It's too early to count out the Kings.
Curry is 37 years old, Butler is 36, and Draymond is 35, so the core players are getting older and could potentially face the same injuries.

Bucks leaving the East is a serious possibility, especially with such high odds. Giannis is having another incredible season and it doesn't seem like his form will decline. Ryan Rollins is becoming a great player. Kevin Porter Jr is not yet there, but he will be, and if we don't count his non-basketball related issues, he is a great player. AJ Green is a complete sniper who can make shots in every game. Myles Turner is struggling right now, but he will start making shots soon. The recipe for the Bucks is clear - Giannis is the main man and the shooters are placed around him, and with this team, it's possible to win championships.

The main contenders will most likely be Cleveland, 76ers, and Knicks, maybe even Orlando, but it's disappointing and unclear which of them will rise this season.

From the first two matches, it can be predicted that Wemby will compete for the MVP title this season. The Spurs have put together a strong team. Although last season was very good for Wemby, it seems that this season will be even better, possibly with 30+ PPG, 10+ RPG and 4-5 blocks per game. I think we can also expect triple-doubles with blocks, and maybe even a quadruple-double. Of course, this is only possible if he stays healthy and plays enough games. The odds currently given are astronomical, but I believe it is definitely worth the risk.
