My National Basketball Association Predictions for preseason Week 2 of the 2023-24 season

I reserve the right to change my predictions at any time before game time. I can also change my predictions after game time starts if I decide before game time that I want to change my prediction, but I am unable to change it before game time (in other words, I don't have access to a computer and the Internet).
