The 2nd week of the 2025-26 NBA campaign continues with a 5-game slate on Tuesday night. It includes a doubleheader on NBC, starting with Knicks vs Bucks at 8:00 pm ET before the Warriors host the Clippers at 11:00 pm ET. Let’s break down our NBA best bets for EVERY GAME tonight, while you can also find out our expert NBA picks for today’s matchups.
76ers vs Wizards best bet: 76ers -4 (-106)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing
The Sixers are 3-0 overall and 1-0 on the road, and their win away from home has come at Boston – a good result even if the C’s are without Jayson Tatum. The Wizards are 1-2 overall and 0-1 at home. Philadelphia certainly won’t have any reservations about going into the nation’s capital. VJ Edgecombe, the 3rd pick in this year’s draft, has been absolutely outstanding so far – contributing 24.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per contest.

Hornets vs Heat best bet: Under 241.5 (-112)
Odds available at bet365 at time of publishing
Although the Heat are scoring a fair amount of points, I’m not prepared to back the over on such a big number – even against the Hornets – when they are without Tyler Herro. The offense cooled off at least somewhat in Miami’s most recent outing against New York this past Sunday, a 115-107 victory. Charlotte has also been putting up its fair share of points, but Brandon Miller left the last game with a shoulder injury and is out for Tuesday. Let’s roll with the under.

Knicks vs Bucks best bet: Bucks ML (+104)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing
Are the Bucks good? That remains to be seen, but they are 2-1 and their only loss has come by 5 points on the road against Cleveland – arguably the best team in the Eastern Conference. Giannis Antetokounmpo has led his team in points, rebounds and assists in all 3 games, but it’s not like he isn’t getting any help. Six other Bucks are averaging in double-figures and Myles Turner is averaging 9.3 points per game, along with 6.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.3 blocks. The Knicks are 0-1 on the road and in the midst of a 3-game trip.

Kings vs Thunder best bet: Thunder -10.5 (-110)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing
Beginning a 4-game road trip in Oklahoma City does not seem like a favorable spot for the Kings. They are 0-1 on the road so far this season (lost at Phoenix) and will probably be 0-2 with room to spare after Tuesday. The Thunder (4-0) look like they could be on their way to a second straight NBA title and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (40.0 ppg) is playing the kind of basketball that would bring him a second MVP Award in a row.

Clippers vs Warriors best bet: Warriors ML (-102)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing
The Warriors are playing the second leg of a back-to-back situation, but I can’t trust the Clippers away from home. Los Angeles’ only road game of the season to date resulted in a 21-point loss at Utah. Moreover, Golden State is one of the toughest places to play and the Warriors did not have to use too much energy in a rout of the Grizzlies on Monday night.
