My new rule is to fade the Raptors every time they're favourites, unless it's against a bottom-feeder team. The Blazers are playing excellent basketball, off to a 7-2 start. This team is no fluke. Last year if you looked at their starting 5 (Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Hickson, Aldridge) you saw a good team. Well now you replace Hickson with a better rebounder and defender in Robin Lopez and add some solid pieces on the bench and you have a playoff contender in the West.
Kings +2 (1 unit)
Terrific spot for the Kings here with the Grizzlies looking ahead to a pivotal matchup against their rival Clippers on Monday. Memphis has not played well at all this season and a 3 point win against the Lakers isn't changing my mind on them right now.
Lakers +2.5 (1 unit)
The Pistons really have no business being favoured on the road, particularly against a team in the West. Let's face it, the Lakers are a playoff team if they're in the Eastern Conference.
