Last night the NBA delivered very fiery action, with 3 games being decided by 5 points or less and tempers flaring left, right and center. Tuesday will look to live up to the fold with some of the strongest teams in each conference taking to the floor, looking to build positive momentum ahead of the all-star break. You can find our expert NBA picks for each of tonight’s 4 matchups and every game throughout the season. But first, take a look at my NBA best bets for all of today’s action.
Pacers vs Knicks NBA best bet: Knicks -12 (-110)
The Indiana Pacers are facing potentially tough outing here simply due to the number of bodies unavailable for them. As of writing they have 4 players listed as out and a further 4 on the injury report down as day-to-day. Against a Knicks team that has won 9 of their last 10 games, it going lead to a heavy loss for the visitors.

Clippers vs Rockets NBA best bet: Alperen Sengun under 19.5 points (-125)
Alperen Sengun has hit a bit of a rough patch for the Rockets of late, failing to reach the 20-point mark in 8 of his last 10 games. With the line for the game set relatively low at 213-points, this seems hardly the setting for him to snap out of his funk. His matchup Brook Lopez is also someone who is still a good shot blocker and will not give up much space to Sengun in the paint.

Mavericks vs Suns NBA best bet: Over 229 (-110)
The Mavericks are coming into this game after 2 very high scoring contests against the San Antonio Spurs and could look to continue that trend against the Suns. Over the last 10 games they are 2nd in the league in pace and in the bottom half in defensive rating. The Suns are 8th during that stretch of games in 3-point attempts per game and could easily be dragged into a shootout here.

Spurs vs Lakers NBA best bet: Harrison Barnes under 0.5 steals (-120)
To get this sort of value on this line seems incredible. Over his last 14 games Harrison Barnes has just 1 total steal. Just one. And while he is averaging 0.7 steals per game against the Lakers, this trend is too hard to ignore. Luka Doncic and LeBron James are capable enough ball handlers to prevent Barnes from picking them off.
