We have NBA picks and predictions for Tuesday, January 27th, which features the Pacers vs. Hawks, 76ers vs. Hornets, and Lakers vs. Bulls.
Our picks include a best bet and NBA same game multi, and we’re looking forward to the NBA action this week.
Pacers vs. Hawks Predictions
—
Best Bet
The Hawks have played well over the last week, scoring back-to-back wins, and we’re picking them to make it three on the bounce.
The Pacers come off a win over the Thunder, but with the Thunder also losing to Toronto on Monday, it’s not as impressive as it could have been. Playing on the road is also tough, and there is an air of confidence around the Hawks.
They have done well to win a few games since Trae Young’s departure, and they’re building the team back up. We’re backing them to cover the –4.5 spread on Tuesday.
—
Same Game Multi
Jalen Johnson’s last three games have been excellent, and he’s ready for another fine scoring performance. He dropped 32 points against Memphis, and we have him scoring close to that number here.
Punters should expect a good game from CJ McCollum, who comes off a 21-point performance. Anything close to that sees him go over 16.5 points.
We’re including over 232.5 points. They are high-scoring teams, and it should be an open shooting contest with little defence.

76ers vs. Hornets Predictions
—
Best Bet
It hasn’t been easy for the 76ers recently, who weren’t able to convert a halftime lead to a win against the Knicks on Sunday. However, they could bounce back at generous odds.
They are 11-0 against the Hornets in their last 11 games, which is a massive statistic, so we’re banking on that holding true.
The Hornets have improved over the last few weeks, including wins over the Magic and Wizards, but they’re not a complete team, and with the 76ers boasting the likes of Tyrese Maxey, they can’t be overlooked.
—
Same Game Multi
With no Joel Embiid on the floor, the offence lies in the hands of Maxey. He should have a big scoring night, and he’ll want to make an impact after missing a potential game-tying shot against the New York Knicks.
LaMelo Ball could be more of a ball distributor than a scorer. He had 20 points in his most recent game, but he was showing inconsistency prior to that with scores of 10, 2, and 16 points. Include Ball under 18.5 points in NBA same game multi picks.
There should be a lot of scoring, mostly from the 76ers, and we’re including over 227.5 points, which is a lower line than expected.
—
Lakers vs. Bulls Predictions
—
Best Bet
The Bulls have got back into their winning ways with four consecutive victories, and getting Josh Giddey back helped.
The Australian provides the Bulls with so much in the scoring and assist department, so he’s crucial to their success and playoff chances.
The Lakers are always a dangerous team to bet against, but they aren’t reliable, and the Bulls could take advantage with a comfortable home win.
—
Same Game Multi
Giddey could have a good scoring night for the Bulls. He had only four points last time on court, and he’ll want to be more of a factor on offence.
LeBron James isn’t playing at his best. He had only 17 points against the Mavericks, and he doesn’t seem overly enthused when he’s on the court. We’re backing him to have under 22.5 points in our NBA multi picks. Under 236.5 should be a safe bet. We can’t see the shooting numbers being off the charts.
