by Spencer Toth - 10/23/2023
The Kings appeared in the postseason for the first time since 2006 last season, thanks to their 48-win season, which was good enough for the 3rd seed in the West. Can they replicate last year, or even push further for their first series win? Or will their Cinderella story prove to be nothing more than a flash in the pan among the Western Conference contenders?

by Spencer Toth - 10/23/2023
The Utah Jazz managed to put together a respectable 37-45 campaign last season, blowing their 23.5-game pre-season win total out of the water. Lauri Markkanen locked in Most Improved Player last season, and the Jazz will be confident they can push for a play-in position with their newfound star.
2023 Washington Wizards Predictions with Futures Odds and Expert NBA Picks
by Spencer Toth - 10/23/2023
The Washington Wizards finally let Bradley Beal go in search of his first career NBA title and have hit the reset button on the franchise. Their 23.5-game win total is the lowest in the league, and it is very clear how the oddsmakers expect this team to do. Not good. Can Jordan Poole elevate this franchise out of the basement, or the Wizards be in full on tank mode by the midway mark of the season?
2023 Brooklyn Nets Predictions with Futures Odds and Expert NBA Picks
by Spencer Toth - 10/20/2023
The Brooklyn Nets moved on from Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving at last season’s trade deadline, leaving them with Ben Simmons as their most recognizable superstar. When the Nets picked up Irving and Durant, they were expected to challenge for an NBA title, but only have one series win to show for it. A new era begins in Brooklyn, and the Nets will try to lean on their retooled lineup to find success this season.
2023 New Orleans Pelicans Predictions with Futures Odds and Expert NBA Picks
by Spencer Toth - 10/20/2023
Will this be the season we finally see Zion Williamson reach his full potential? Pelicans fans will certainly hope so. New Orleans has been stuck in the middle for a few seasons; too good to tank, but not good enough to challenge for an NBA title. If they can keep their lineup healthy for a majority of the season, the Pelicans could be one of the dark horses in the NBA this season.
2023 San Antonio Spurs Predictions with Futures Odds and Expert NBA Picks
by Spencer Toth - 10/20/2023
The Spurs won the draft lottery and have a new face of the franchise in Victor Wembanyama. The expectations couldn’t be higher for Wembanyama, as the incoming rookie is expected to launch the Spurs to relevancy. After collecting 5 championships over the last 25 years, the Spurs have found themselves on the outside looking in for the last 4 seasons. It may be too much to ask to expect Wembanyama to make an instant impact. However, if anyone can do it, it’s him.
2023 Orlando Magic Predictions with Futures Odds and Expert NBA Picks
by Spencer Toth - 10/20/2023
The Orlando Magic are led by defending Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero and will be confident they can continue to make strides towards relevance this season. They blew their 26.5-game win total out of the water last season with 34 wins and are expected to shoot up the standings once again. They haven’t made the playoffs since 2020 and haven’t won a series since 2010. Can either of those streaks come to an end this season?
2023 Toronto Raptors Predictions with Futures Odds and Expert NBA Picks
by Spencer Toth - 10/20/2023
Since they won their 2019 championship, the Toronto Raptors have been stuck in the middle of the standings after losing Kawhi Leonard. They are too good to tank for a draft pick, but not good enough to realistically compete for a championship. A fringe playoff team is not good enough for a hungry Toronto fanbase. And after several seasons as a top 3 seed over the last decade, the Raptors are far away from replicating those results.
2023 Phoenix Suns Predictions with Futures Odds and Expert NBA Picks
by Spencer Toth - 10/19/2023
The Suns went all-in at last year’s trade deadline, picking up Kevin Durant to bring their core of Devin Booker and Chris Paul to the next level. A second-round exit left the franchise still in search of their first NBA title, but a few crafty offseason moves has them in position to excel in a very competitive Western Conference. Will this be the year the stars finally align for the Suns, or will it be another season of disappointment for this very talented squad?

by Spencer Toth - 10/19/2023
It’s a new era in Portland. After spending his whole career with the franchise, Damian Lillard has been traded to the Milwaukee Bucks. The 7-time All-Star had the best season of his career last year, scoring a mammoth 32.2 PPG. While his departure will be heavily felt by the Portland faithful, the lack of any No. 1 presence will allow the Trail Blazers rising core to have more opportunities on the ball and could result in a breakout star emerging for Portland.
2023 Oklahoma City Thunder Predictions with Futures Odds and Expert NBA Picks
by Spencer Toth - 10/18/2023
The Oklahoma City Thunder got an extra year of tanking thanks to the absence of Chet Holmgren for the entirety of last season, and they are poised to make a big leap, and feature in the postseason. An extremely talented young core led by sudden MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will look to bring the Oklahoma City Thunder their first playoff series win since they had Kevin Durant back in 2016.

by Spencer Toth - 10/13/2023
The New York Knicks won a first playoff series last season for the first time since 2013, en route to their best season in the last decade. After years in the basement of the Eastern Conference, the Knicks have fully come out of their rebuild and are ready to challenge for an NBA title. Can the Knicks build on their growth from last season, or will it be another April filled with meaningless basketball for this historic franchise?

2023 Minnesota Timberwolves Predictions with Futures Odds and Expert NBA Picks
by Spencer Toth - 10/11/2023
The Minnesota Timberwolves were bounced from the opening round of the postseason for the second year in a row and are still in search of their first series win since 2004.

by Spencer Toth - 10/9/2023
LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers clawed their way out of 13th place with their 26-32 record, finishing in 7th, and reaching the Western Conference Finals. Unsurprisingly, James led the way with his 28.9 PPG, 6.8 Assists, and 8.3 Rebounds. Despite the fact that he’s turning 39 in a couple months, James continues to turn back the clock and dominate the league. Can he add a coveted 5th ring to his legacy, or will this be the year we finally see a decline in James’s production?

by Spencer Toth - 10/9/2023
The Grizzlies are still in search of the franchise’s first Finals appearance and will be eager to oust the bitter taste of a first round defeat out of their mouths. Ja Morant has proven he can lead an NBA franchise, but his off-court issues have prevented the Grizzlies from gaining any traction in the league.
2023 Los Angeles Clippers Predictions with Futures Odds and Expert NBA Picks
by Spencer Toth - 10/9/2023
The LA Clippers have all the talent on their roster to win an NBA championship, and it’s just a matter of putting it all together. When healthy, Russell Westbrook, Paul George, and Kawhi Leonard comprise one of the deadliest trios in the league, but the superstars have been unable to stay on the court at the same time. Will this be the season we finally see LA reach their full potential, or will it be another frustrating season for Clippers fans and bettors alike?
