The Brooklyn Nets are at the Atlanta Hawks. Atlanta is (-10.5) with a total of 204. An equal percentage as the aforesaid game, 74 percent prefer the chalk with the over chosen by 64 percent. The total has gone up, having had a world opener of 201.5.

Portland is at Memphis with the Grizzlies laying (-5) and a total of 188.5. The over/under dropped from opening at 191, while Memphis opened laying only (-3.5) a significant move for a low line. Just 53 percent favor Memphis and the total is evenly split.

Closing out all game 1s is the Spurs-Clippers. Shop around at all sportsbook options. Either team can be had as a one-point underdog at different outlets. The total is 207.5, up for 204. Sixty-two percent of the bets on the side are with the defending champion Spurs and a shocking 82 percent are investing in the over.
