How would this move the line that much? Was there any doubt that he'd play?
LeBron James (ankle) will play in Tuesday's season opener against the Celtics.
Head coach Tyronn Lue confirmed that King James won't be dealing with any sort of minutes restrictions tonight, so owners can feel free to fire him up for what should be an intense matchup against his former teammate, Kyrie Irving. Get your popcorn ready, the season is finally here.

Very odd, indeed. Sometimes I wonder what the hell these oddsmakers are thinking. I'm shocked that they are pricing these two teams pretty much evenly (w/ home court factored in) this early in the season. Boston has a lot of adjusting and feeling out to do early in the season and when you insert two stars Kyrie and Gordon things aren't going to gel right away, not to mention the insertion of a rookie into the starting lineup in Tatum. The James gang is mostly the same and Wade should blend right in smoothly from their time together in Miami. I don't think they'll miss Thomas too much early on because James can play the point. In fact, I think they benefit from him being out, at least early in the season. My only concern is Rose, as he is definitely a defensive liability, but I expect that they'll limit his minutes early on and we'll see LeBron running the point mostly. All that said, one team has a lot more adjusting to do than the other and I think that will manifest early in this one. I think CLE can win this relatively easily, although I'm not willing to lay -180 or -190. If an in-game opportunity presents itself, I might be inclined to take them at PK or any dog price.

SA/MIN Prop
Don't know when or where the scoring is going to come from Teague. With KAT, Butler and Wiggins expected to take a leap, there are too many scorers to justify a his props being this high. Don't expect his totals to be this high as the season gets going.

Horrible call on Bazemore prop...got shut out in 1H. ATL is going to be horrible this year except the German kid.
Was spot on with Teague prop. Wish I had put more on it because I don't think we'll see a number like that again this season unless Butler is injured or resting.
