NBA Tips & Odds: The Panel's Picks And Best Bets For Tuesday Night's Action
Our team of experts has taken a look at tonight's slate of games in the NBA.
They'll focus on insights and odds from top betting sites as we look at a few games that might surprise bettors and fans alike.
Continue reading for The Panel's in-depth coverage and expert predictions as the NBA season continues with some Tuesday night picks.
Houston Rockets Vs Indiana Pacers Prediction (O/U 230.5, Pacers -3.5)
This game features two teams trying to rise in their respective conferences.
Houston lost a challenging road game in Oklahoma City on Monday night as the teams combined for 265 points.
Indiana have the chance to go 10 games over .500 for the first time this season, while the Rockets are attempting to move up in the West with only a few games separating second and fifth in the standings.
The Under at 230.5 with NBA betting sites delivers solid potential.
However, Houston are one of two teams that came off a significant game the night before while Indiana are rested, so laying only 3.5 points is not a bad plan of attack here.
The Panel Pick 1: Indiana Pacers (-3.5 Points) - 10/11 With Ladbrokes
Our NBA Picks For Tuesday's Action
Los Angeles Clippers Vs Phoenix Suns Prediction (O/U 225.5, Clippers -2)
Both teams have not looked at their best lately.
Los Angeles have dropped five of their past six contests while Phoenix have lost eight of their previous 10.
These teams are not lighting it up from the field. The Clippers barely managed to get over 100 points against Los Angeles and Phoenix managed 98 at home against Minnesota.
The problem is that both teams can go cold shooting the basketball, and the Clippers tend to take a more defensive posture when playing on the road.
The key may be pace, as both teams rank in the bottom third in terms of pace (Phoenix, 23rd, Los Angeles, 20th).
The Panel’s second pick with betting apps is to take the Clippers and Suns to go lower than 225.5 points on Tuesday night.
The Panel Pick 2: Clippers & Suns Under 225.5 Points - 20/10 With Betway
New Orleans Pelicans Vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction (O/U 229.5, Lakers -8.5)
The Los Angeles Lakers, thanks to the duo of Luka Doncic and LeBron James, have proven to be quite a force this season.
They have won six consecutive games since that weird makeup game coming out of the All-Star break.
Now 12-2 in their last 14 games, many experts wonder when the letdown will happen as the Doncic Era feels like a honeymoon that will never end.
The Lakers swept the Clippers in two straight by playing stifling defense, and New Orleans are far from elite defensively (26th in points allowed and 29th in defensive rating).
On Tuesday night, the Lakers could break out against a team that averages 118.9 points per game.
So, let us take a modest nod to the Lakers scoring more than 120 points here.
