A new era of Toronto Raptors basketball tips off tonight when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves in their season opener. Fred VanVleet signed with the Houston Rockets in the offseason while the front office moved on from Nick Nurse, replacing him with Darko Rajakovic. The first-year head coach will be tasked with helping Scottie Barnes take the next step in his development. For tonight, the Raps will be slight home underdogs as they try to slow down Anthony Edwards and the T-wolves.

I’ve landed a total of 5 NBA Parlays after just 2 weeks since the new season has gotten underway. Monday brings us another massive 12- Game night and I’ve gone in-depth and picked out my 3 favorite bets for this evening’s slate.

Giannis and co. are favored by 6-points, which seems adequate considering they’ve won 8 of the last 10 meetings against this team and have covered the spread 7 times during that stretch. Brooklyn is off to a rough start at home losing both of their Game s against Boston and Cleveland. ...

Minnesota Timber wolves big man Rudy Gobert was sent to the showers early on Saturday night for a bizarre incident in which he tripped Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kenrich Williams. Gobert was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul after the referees determined his actions were unnecessary and excessive.  A few minutes into the second quarter, Williams went strong to the paint and tossed in a tough floater over Gobert's outstretched arms.
