    I don’t care what anyone says, Giannis is gonna have a bad opening night and Dame plays like it’s the Blazers again for 48 minutes to drop 60 (please don’t age badly)

    I think Trae has a big game. Not gonna say 50+ but a big opening night game. Poole as well.

    Simons would be a choice but they’ll stick PG on him if he starts going off.

    This is all team’s 1st games of the season.

    Not all of these games qualify as Opening Night.

    For example, only players from the Lakers, Nuggets, Suns, & Warriors can qualify as playing on Opening Night this season.

      Booker or KD would probably be the picks to drop 50, but the other one of them has to have down night scoring wise.

    Give the Wizards an opening night game and Poole is going to drop either 50 or 15. Do it Adam!
