Detroit will host the Pacers, we all know how bad Detroit was from last season, and the Pacers had one of their best, so with that, I might go with the Pacers at -3.5 at 1.82 odds.
I agree with it, they were a bad team last season, and I do like the pick. However, in my book, it's at -4.5 now with 1.92 odds. From what we’ve seen in the first two games, the winning team usually wins by a big margin, so I think they can cover the spread. The Pacers are strong and score a lot, so if they dominate, a double-digit win seems pretty likely. Good luck, I’m tailing too but with a higher spread.
If Pacers will push the win I agree that it can be a double digit lead seems that bookies favoring a bit the homecourt advantage of Detroit but comparing how these two team played the game Pacers is more superior than Detriot not unless there's something that bookies are seeing to give this kind of a close margins, no spare for now but I like the handicap for Pacers. Good luck!
Sorry for the late reply but the Pacers had won already and so it was a big W for me.
And speaking of Buddy Hield as a Warrior,
Quote
Buddy Hield has led the Warriors in points (49) and made 3-pointers (12) in his first two games with the franchise and the Warriors have won both games by a combined margin of 77 points, the largest margin of victory to begin a season in NBA history.

And there was another record that I saw in my Facebook feed, but I forget to capture it.
Probably he can also a great candidate for the 6th man of the year award for this season, and could be a winner if he continues with this consistent numbers.
Yeah he got a good numbers but it's too early for that, I'm pretty sure that teams will have their adjustments to be more competitive, and adding to that, regular season mostly the trial part for each system and strategy for each coaches, then as far as improvement's concern there's trade deadline that can change the direction of the team that will gain better benefits from the trade that they'll take.
Moving back to the game seems that Mavs vs Suns and Lakers vs Kings are games that might excite the fans and the bettors, good luck!
Klay Thompson is lighting the fire for the Mavs with 22 points in just 26 minutes of playtime. 6/10 in the 3-point field and this probably is one of his best games after being traded. (including the preseason)
