Monday NBA Picks: Rockets vs. Nuggets & Raptors Injury Woes

Coming up in the NBA at 8:30. I laid three and a half at the Rockets. It's at four and a half. That is totally fine here. Basically, this number moved around. Denver's entire team might as well have been on the injury report. And then almost all of them are playing. I don't really care. This is not a good spot for the Nuggets coming back from the Mexico City game. Houston have lost two in a row. When Houston win, they typically win big. I think they win big here against Denver. There were a few other interesting spots that I ultimately didn't play. Phoenix, Zion against Golden State. Anything NBA-wise, catch your eye. Your Raptors, by the way, down, you know, still some key players. Kyle Anderson getting a start for the Toronto Raptors tonight. The Raptors are extremely beat up. It's 8-8 right now. It looks like it's going to be a lower-scoring basketball game. Poeltl's got four right now. Where are the points going to come from for the Raptors? They're going to have to come from R.J. Barrett, who doesn't have a point yet, just for the record. Raptors beat up early this year. They did get the win against Milwaukee the other night. They're 5-4 right now, but I was hoping for a better start to the season than 5-4 for the Raptors, to be honest. Five and four Raptors, six. The Grizzlies team being unbeaten, by the way, still throws me off a little bit because now I feel as if Memphis, well, they shouldn't be unbeaten despite the fact that I was betting them against the Thunder. So, you know, this is a... They don't know what to do with the Grizzlies anymore. I don't know what to do with them. They've lost a few times. They started to lose. Yeah, they've now lost two in a row, like three in a row, excuse me. Yeah, yeah, three in a row games. So that's kind of thrown me off a little bit.
