(NBA Logo from Sportslogos.net)

By: Evan Troxel

Last week, my National Basketball Association Preseason Week 2 predictions resulted in 20 wins and 14 losses. Five of those wins happened on Sunday, October 15th, 2023, and I went 5-1 that day.

So here are my predictions for this week for right now. I will post predictions for games later this week in the coming days if not tonight (Monday, October 16th) or tomorrow.

I also reserve the right to change my predictions before game time. I can also change my predictions after game time only if I don't have access to a computer or the Internet at the time I decide I want to change my predictions before game time.

So here are my predictions for this week's games:
