[color=red]The Picks[/color]
Game One (Wed., 12/04) Detroit Pistons @ Milwaukee Bucks
*Game Two (Thurs., 12/05) New York Knicks @ Brooklyn Nets*
Game Three (Fri., 12/06) Los Angeles Lakers @ Sacramento Kings
Game Four (Sat., 12/07) Golden State Warriors @ Memphis Grizzlies
Game Five (Sun., 12/08) Indiana Pacers @ Oklahoma City Thunder

................

[color=purple]Please remember that as of Week Five if you correctly guess within 1 point of the true margin-of-victory for a given game, you will gain 1 point. Being within 2 points will be worth 0.5 pt, and any margin of victory greater than 2 will not earn any points.[/color]
Examples:
- Miami Heat by 5 @ Brooklyn Nets. You guessed they'd win by 6. You will get 1 point for guessing the victor correctly and another point for guessing the margin of victory correctly. Total = 2 points.
- Los Angeles Lakers by 15 @ Detroit Pistons. You guessed the Lakers would win by 13. You will get 1/2 a point (0.5 point) for the correct margin of victory, and of course 1 point for guessing the correct winner. Total = 1.5 points.

Why are there asterisks around the Nets/Knicks game.

Why are there asterisks around the Nets/Knicks game.

Oops. I forgot to add that it's a double-point game since it's a rivalry match-up. It will be worth twice the points for predicting correctly.

Will all aspects be doubled? Like if you get it on the money will you get 6 points instead of 3?

Yup. I'm too lazy to look now but I did it once before in either Week Three or Week Four.

Deserves +2 for getting this one on the money

Also, guys, remember to specify how many points you'd like to wager. If you don't specify, I'll just assume it's 1 point.
