NBA Tips & Odds: The Panel's Picks And Best Bets For Tuesday
Our team of experts is here to look at the top NBA games this Tuesday night and focus on insights and odds from the best betting sites.
Below, we examine three contests from tonight's slate of games.
Continue reading for The Panel's in-depth coverage and expert predictions as the NBA heads down the stretch with Tuesday night picks.
Celtics Vs Knicks Prediction: New York Favoured AT MSG
Tuesday night kicks off with the Boston Celtics travelling to Madison Square Garden to face the New York Knicks.
Boston will be without Al Horford due to injury, and no fewer than five other players are listed as questionable. Load management is a significant factor for both sides.
This game presents numerous dilemmas for bettors. However, New York are expected to have Jalen Brunson (ankle) available in the lineup.
The major question marks for Boston remain Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, who have combined to average 49.4 points per game this season.
With betting apps setting the game total at 222 points, the over may offer value.
That said, our recommendation is to back the Knicks to win outright.
The Panel Pick 1: Knicks Moneyline - 20/23 With Betway
The Panel's NBA Picks For Tuesday Night
- The Panel Pick 1: Knicks Moneyline - 20/23 With Betway
- The Panel Pick 2: Lakers +14.5 points - 20/23 With Betway
- The Panel Pick 3: Warriors & Suns Over 227.5 Points - 21/20 With Betway
Lakers Vs Thunder Prediction: LA To Cover Spread
The Thunder clinched the Western Conference weeks ago, sitting 12 games ahead of Houston, and hold a two-game lead over Cleveland for the best overall record in the NBA.
In contrast, the Los Angeles Lakers are coming off two consecutive wins, while the Thunder have lost back-to-back games.
The Lakers are also on the front end of a back-to-back, with a potentially more critical matchup against Dallas looming on Wednesday night.
Both Luka Doncic and LeBron James are dealing with groin issues and are listed as questionable. However, both logged heavy minutes in Sunday’s 126–99 blowout win over the Thunder.
The Panel’s second pick is to take the Lakers with the points. Oklahoma City may win, but a 14.5-point spread feels excessive.
The Panel Pick 2: Lakers +14.5 points - 20/23 With Betway
Warriors Vs Suns Prediction: Golden State To Bounce Back
Phoenix have lost six straight and are on the brink of missing the playoffs. Golden State, meanwhile, are focused on securing favourable seeding and avoiding the play-in round.
The Suns haven’t just been losing - they’ve looked dismal doing it, suffering defeats by 10 or more points in five of their last six. That includes a 14-point loss to the New York Knicks, where they failed to reach 100 points.
On Tuesday night, Golden State will aim to rebound from a poor offensive showing. While the Warriors had won five straight, the first and last games in that stretch were rough - scoring just 86 against Miami and 96 versus Houston.
Fortunately, Phoenix don’t pose the same defensive challenge.
For Tuesday’s matchup, the Panel is backing Golden State and Phoenix to combine for 228 points or more.
The Panel Pick 3: Warriors & Suns Over 227.5 Points - 21/20 With Betway
