Opening Day NBA Betting Notes

Here are sports betting news and notes for opening night
of the NBA

Blazers-Spurs

Portland head
coach Nate McMillan said he will not announce his
starting five until tipoff claiming the media
attention would make it a distraction for the players. They brought in Steve
Blake to compete with incumbent Jarrett Jack.
Most importantly, Martell Webster has a tremendous preseason averaging
17.7 points per game while shooting 58 percent from the field.

Sportsbooks has
the Spurs as a 13.5 point favorite with a total ranging from 189 to 189.5. With
injuries to Jacque Vaughn and Beno Udrih, rookie Darius Washington will be the only point
guard on the Spurs bench.

The Spurs are 19-7 ATS in the head-to-head meeting, with
the home team covering 6-of-8.
