The last Wolves/Rockets game was great. This one should be a thriller.

Kawhi Leonard is still out for this game - he has not played yet this season. Terrance Mann is out this game as well.

If a player has not played this season I don't generally mention it every time the team plays a game.

Cavs vs Nuggets should be fun.
Also I say this a lot, but can Memphis get some love. I think they have a legit shot to win the West. They still have a big piece injured GG Jackson and Edey looks like the steal of the draft. They are gonna be scary good as the season goes imo.

Out of curiosity, what makes you confident in Klay having a 20 point game? He has exactly 3 games with 20+ in his last 15 games

Yeah. I don't gamble, and I wouldn't be surprised if those are decent odds compared to what is typically offered, but I think you'd need to be at about +475 to make that a good bet. Which helps explain why I don't gamble.
I may gamble on the NBA some day - I always seem to see good value in MVP betting (not all season long, but usually early in the season) - but the only time I have gambled on sports was a few games in the 2012 Finals. I bet peanuts and lost two out of three games, IIRC.
But I definitely hope you win! Go Klay!
PS No judgment. I have my own "stuff."

yeah, they're being slept on. they have a real shot this year, their new lead assistant is gonna be fastest from assistant to HC ever, his offensive system is incredibly effective.

Memphis also has a lot of talent on the roster and is hella big (Edey, Jaren, Clarke, Aldama, Huff, LaRavia). Zach Kleiman has done a heck of a job adding inexpensive pieces to the roster to little fanfare.

I agree, they have everything they need and tremendous flexibility and versatility across their roster
