🏀 NBA Opening Night – Tue, Oct 21, 2025 🏀

Houston Rockets @ Oklahoma City Thunder (7:30 PM ET)
The defending-champ Thunder (68–14 in 2024–25) open vs a revamped Rockets team (52–30). OKC took the last meeting on Mar 3, 2025, 137–128, behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 51. Houston moved Jalen Green & Dillon Brooks in July’s blockbuster to land Kevin Durant and Clint Capela; OKC largely runs it back with the title core intact.

Golden State Warriors @ Los Angeles Lakers (10:00 PM ET)
LA (50–32) hosts Golden State (48–34). The Warriors went 1–3 vs the Lakers last season, including a 118–108 loss on Jan 25. The Lakers now build around Luka Dončić and Deandre Ayton, while the Warriors added Al Horford and carry Jimmy Butler into his first full season in the Bay.

I’m taking the Thunder -7.5 tonight since they usually start strong on ring night and SGA should set the tone early. The Lakers +2.5 also looks solid, with Luka’s debut in purple and gold likely keeping it close. Should be a fun start to the season!

Need to see if Jimmy Butler is going to start against Lakers before placing a bet on that matchup. The new look Rockets with Kevin Durant ready to go should trouble the defending champs so I'm going with +7 for the Rockets.
If Jimmy doesn't start, i'll surely be going with a Lakers win but if he does, then I'll be going for a Warriors win.
Happy to get the NBA back. Let's go

I'm going to start this up again. The NFL plays were 4-1 last week. We'll see how the NBA goes.

Tip & venue: 8:00 PM ET at Paycom Center, OKC.

Records: Warriors 6–5 (1–5 away), Thunder 10–1 (4–0 home).

Key injuries: Thunder out: Luguentz Dort (shoulder/upper trap), Jalen Williams (wrist), Aaron Wiggins (adductor), Kenrich Williams (knee), Nikola Topić (surgical recovery), Thomas Sorber (ACL). NBA Warriors: Al Horford questionable (left toe, management); De’Anthony Melton out (left ACL). NBA Steph Curry: not listed on tonight’s injury report (i.e., expected to be available).

Form & style notes: OKC have been rolling (4–0 at home) and own a healthy scoring margin; team stats show ~122.4 PPG for OKC vs 115.9 PPG for GSW. espn.com With Dort and Jalen Williams out, OKC lose two of their best wing stoppers—opening the door for Curry to find rhythm off-ball actions and pull-up 3s. NBA Warriors’ road wobble (1–5 away) is the big red flag; if OKC push pace and get to the line via SGA drives, the Thunder can create separation in the 2nd/3rd quarters.

Matchup keys: Curry vs OKC’s perimeter depth: Without Dort/J-Dub, OKC will need more minutes from secondary wings; ball-screen coverage on Curry becomes tougher. NBA SGA pressure on the rim: Golden State must show bodies early and live with kick-out 3s; OKC’s home efficiency has been excellent.

Play: Thunder -7.5 to win at home.

Warriors +7.5	1.961	1.90	1.90

Steve Kerr said Steph Curry would be back against OKC but I think he'll have a minutes resriction. The Warriors were 2-1 against the defending champs last season with the loss coming without Curry playing. I'll be rolling with the +7.5 for the Warriors. I fancy them keeping the game close but I don't think they can win. Would be surprised if they win.
