With just two games scheduled for Tuesday, December 10, plenty of action remains on DraftKings Sportsbook. Here are the top betting picks for today’s NBA matchups:
Here’s a look at the full schedule for today’s games:
Magic at Bucks, 7 p.m. EST
Mavericks at Thunder, 9:30 p.m. EST
Mavericks +4.5 (-115)
The Mavericks are riding high on a seven-game winning streak and will look to extend it in the quarterfinals of the NBA Cup against the Thunder. Dallas has been dominant, particularly with Luka Doncic back in the lineup. He’s averaging 31 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 9.5 assists in his last four games. Despite a strong Thunder team, the Mavericks have shown they can go toe-to-toe with the best. Oklahoma City has won three straight, but the Mavericks are hitting their stride and have proved they can handle this matchup, even without Doncic in their previous win against the Thunder earlier this season. With both teams rolling lately, taking Dallas to cover the +4.5 spread makes sense.
Bucks -7.5 (-115)
The Bucks will host the Magic in the NBA Cup quarterfinals. With Giannis Antetokounmpo playing at an MVP level, the Bucks are a tough matchup for Orlando. Giannis is averaging 32.5 points and 11.6 rebounds this season and should have no trouble leading Milwaukee to a solid win here. While impressive in their own right, Orlando has been dealing with injuries to key players like Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero. These injuries, combined with the Bucks’ depth and experience, should help Milwaukee cover the -7.5 spread and advance to the next stage of the NBA Cup.
Luka Doncic Over 45.5 PTS + REB + AST (-115)
Luka Doncic continues to deliver standout performances for the Mavericks. Since returning from injury, he’s been averaging 31 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 9.5 assists over his last four games. With consecutive triple-doubles under his belt, Doncic is playing confidently and could surpass the 45.5 points, rebounds, and assists mark in this game. In his last two games against the Thunder, Doncic averaged 34 points, 13.5 assists, and 11.5 rebounds, so look for him to continue his strong all-around play in this matchup.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 29.5 Points (-120)
Giannis Antetokounmpo is playing as well as ever, and his scoring is a massive factor in the Bucks’ success. With an average of 32.5 points per game this season, the two-time MVP will likely exceed the 29.5-point threshold against an Orlando team missing key pieces. In two games against the Magic last season, he averaged 36 points, making him a reliable bet to go over 29.5 points in this matchup.
Isaiah Hartenstein PTS + REB Over 22.5 (-125)
Isaiah Hartenstein has been a key contributor for the Thunder this season, averaging 12.8 points and 11.8 rebounds. With a strong presence on both ends of the floor, Hartenstein has stepped up in the absence of Chet Holmgren, and his ability to impact the game will be crucial against the Mavericks. With his rebounding prowess and scoring ability, Hartenstein has a good chance to hit the Over for 22.5 points + rebounds in this game.
