NBA Report - Tuesday (Steve Merril)

The NBA season starts tonight on Tuesday.  Below is a free Over/Under opinion that was not quite strong enough to be an official Best Bet, but it still presents value and is worth a look this evening.

UNDER 213½ (Jazz at Warriors) – 10:35 pm ET #504

Early season games have a tendency to be lower scoring than normal as it takes the offenses time to gel and adjust to new lineups and player personnel.  These were both high-scoring teams last year, therefore the oddsmakers are forced to post a high total tonight, but Game 1’s in the price range are a 60% Under play the past few seasons.

Golden State will also be a weaker offensive team tonight as they lost their second leading scorer from last season, Jason Richardson, who was traded to Charlotte.  The Warriors will also be without their starting forward Stephen Jackson who has been suspended for the first seven games of the season.
