With the 2017-18 NBA season set to turn the calendar to the new year in just a couple of weeks, it’s time for another round of expert NBA picks of the week. Whether you’re looking to give your annual NBA betting bankroll a big-time boost or you’re hoping to get back in the black after a rough start, you’re going to have a great opportunity to do just that thanks to the latest NBA lines and the trio of picks that you’re about to get.
Toronto will be favored in this contest despite being on the road, but I’m going with Philly to get the home upset simply because they’re young and hungry and equally good at home (7-7) and on the road (7-7).Score Prediction: Philadelphia 76ers 108 – Toronto Raptors 105
