Tuesday NBA Betting Tips
—
Los Angeles Clippers vs Milwaukee Bucks @ Fiserv Forum
Two of the best teams in the NBA collide on Tuesday when the Clippers take on the Bucks.
The Bucks took some time to get used to a new coach, Doc Rivers, but they are cruising now after posting five consecutive wins.
Beating the likes of the 76ers, Timberwolves and Bulls is good form, so the home side should be confident of handling the Clippers.
We’re hoping it’s not another disappointing end to a Clippers season. They have looked a bit shaky recently, dropping three of their last five games, including losses to the Thunder, Kings, and Lakers.
They can’t afford to lose to those teams, especially with their impressive roster. However, they have the NBA playoffs in mind, so they’re often resting players.
The Eastern Conference is much stronger than the West, and the Bucks should show that on Tuesday. We expect the home side to be too strong and to continue their winning run.
Bet: Milwaukee Bucks
Chicago Bulls vs Sacramento Kings @ Golden 1 Centre
The Chicago Bulls are struggling for consistency, but they are good enough to threaten teams like the Kings.
Sacramento is the better team now, having beaten the Timberwolves 124-120 in overtime in its most recent outing. However, that followed losses to the Nuggets and Heat, so the Kings are also struggling to show their best.
In the first meeting against the Bulls, the Kings won 123-115 on the road. That came early last month, but arguably, the Bulls have improved since then.
There are also some injury concerns surrounding Kings’ star De’Aaron Fox, and not having Fox at his best would be a major blow for the home side.
The sportsbook will have the Kings favoured to win, likely around the –5.5 mark. However, we’re locking in the Bulls to cover the spread.
They are a dangerous team at their best, and having posted recent wins over the Cavaliers and Pelicans is credit to their toughness.
Bet: Chicago Bulls
Oklahoma City Thunder vs Los Angeles Lakers @ Crypto.com Arena
The Golden State Warriors needed to find some form and they have, posting four consecutive wins to get back to .500.
They got the better of the Nets, 76ers, Pacers, and Suns,
The Thunder might have lost their most recent game to the Spurs, which is terrible, but they looked good prior to that.
They have been one of the best teams in the NBA, posting a 41-18 record. That’s tough to overlook, and the likes of Josh Giddey, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Chet Holmgren have been playing in superb form.
However, beating the Lakers in Los Angeles is easier said than done. The Lakers are 33-29 following a loss to Denver, which followed wins over the Clippers and Wizards.
They are also 2-1 against the Thunder, and they won 112-105 in the most recent meeting at Crypto.com Arena. That’s a good form guide, but we’re going against the statistics.
The Thunder want to rebound following a poor loss, and the youth of this team could be too much for the ageing Lakers.
Bet: Oklahoma City Thunder
