Most of what the NBA has to offer on Tuesday night is light and predictable, which could make for a fun evening of NBA betting. One game of the scheduled four could be tricky, though, with the Kings visiting Dallas to take on the Mavericks.
Let’s go over all four games just to make sure we don’t have any missteps:
New York Knicks @ Atlanta Hawks
We need to pay quick mind to Arron Afflalo’s insane 38-point performance that buried the Hawks just two days ago, but the other side of this shows us the Hawks have a 2-1 series lead, are at home and won’t want to let New York even the season series. New York’s lone win coming at Madison Square Garden is more helpful info, as it didn’t come in ATL, where the Hawks are a solid 12-6 on the year. It’s not likely to tonight, either.
Pick: Hawks 107, Knicks 101
Milwaukee Bucks @ Chicago Bulls
A four-game season series tips off tonight, as the Bucks head to the United Center to take on the Bulls. Milwaukee probably wishes this series had started a month ago, when Chicago still was struggling. Now the Bulls are starting to find their footing with a nice four-game winning streak. Jimmy Butler is playing elite ball, too, while the Bulls are a stout 14-5 at home this year. Milwaukee won’t stand much of a chance with their weak 5-15 mark away from home.
Pick: Bulls 104, Bucks 97
Sacramento Kings @ Dallas Mavericks
Rajon Rondo enters Dallas for some revenge, while also looking to put his Kings up 2-0 in the season series. It’s likely he gets his individual revenge with a good game, but buying a 2-0 series lead in Dallas is tough, especially with the Mavs being their best at home (10-6). The Kings come in with two straight wins and Dallas has dropped two in a row, but an all-offense battle is just what the doctor ordered for the Mavs in front of their home crowd. If they can get back Deron Williams for this outing, all the better.
Pick: Mavs 109, Kings 106
Golden State Warriors @ Los Angeles Lakers
This has to be the easiest game to call on the schedule, as the Warriors have lost just twice all year and absolutely destroyed the Lakers the last time these two sides faced off. Something similar is likely to happen again.
Pick: Warriors 114, Lakers 87
