Bets: October 5, 2013

Update: The Pelicans won, somehow, as well as the Lakers. Great way to start off the betting record; thanks God it's preseason. Anthony Morrow, and I have to name his team because nobody knows, scored 26 points tonight for the Pelicans. Austin Rivers, Pelicans, scored 21. Omri Casspi, Rockets, scored 20. Gotta love the preseason.

Record: 0 - 2

End of Update

Rockets vs Pelicans

Spread: Rockets 7.5

It still feels weird typing Pelicans instead of Hornets. But the Pelicans have a new core that will take some time to build their chemistry. Dwight Howard, on the other hand, will most likely be looking to have a big game in his debut with his new team.

Pick: Rockets

Warriors vs Lakers

Spread: Warriors 7.5

The starting five for the Lakers looks like this: Steve Blake, Wesley Johnson, Nick Young, Jordan Hill and Chris Kaman. Versus Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodola, David Lee and Andrew Bogut. Steve Nash isn't playing tonight, or Kobe, obviously.

Pick: Warriors
