Halloween Basketball

Halloween night is jam pack full of good games, I am going to run down all the games and my predictions.

Pistons vs. Nets

I think the Pistons will take this one because they have had a great start to the season and Blake Griffin has had an electrifying start to the season. I will take the Pistons, 101-78.

Pacers vs. Knicks

If this were the first game of the season and Kevin Knox was still healthy I would pick the Knicks, but with a rough start to the season and no one to guard Victor Olodipo and the fact they can keep Kristop Porzingis out of the paint, I think the Pacers will put on a clinic.  Pacers will win 87-7.

Nuggets vs. Bulls

Even though the Bulls have made some substantial roster improvements from last year, they will still fall to the Nuggets. The Nuggets this year are going to easily make the playoffs in the stacked west, while the Bulls are struggling in the East. The Bulls also don’t have an Answer for Nikola Jokic. I say Nuggets win, 98-82.

Mavericks vs. Lakers

This one may surprise a lot of people, but I say the Mavs will win this one. Even though the Lakers have LeBron, doesn’t mean much they have no efficiency and turn the ball over to much. They also rely on baskets under the rim and with Deadre Jordan down there I can’t see them getting many points. Denis Smith Jr. will also tear them apart on transition. Mavs will win. 84-80

Jazz vs. Timberwolves

Even though the Jazz have had a good start to the year, I think the Wolves can counter almost all of their best offense. Jimmy Butler will lock down Donovan Mitchell, but Karl Anthony Towns will be stopped by Rudy Gobert, I think the Timberwolves have more depth so they win, 78-75

Spurs vs. Suns and Pelicans vs. Warriors.

I would go in depth on these but they are complete upsets, Spurs and Warriors win.
