With seven NBA matchups scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 4, DraftKings Sportsbook bettors have plenty of chances to jump into the action. Here’s a breakdown of the top bets for today’s NBA games.
Here’s a look at the full schedule for Tuesday’s NBA games (all times Eastern):
- Mavericks at 76ers, 7 p.m.
- Hawks at Pistons, 7 p.m.
- Rockets at Nets, 7:30 p.m.
- Knicks at Raptors, 7:30 p.m.
- Heat at Bulls, 8 p.m.
- Lakers at Clippers, 10 p.m.
- Pacers at Trail Blazers, 10 p.m.
Pacers -5 (-108)
The Pacers will look to extend their road winning streak to match a franchise-record seven straight wins as they head to Portland. Despite their recent road success, the Pacers have struggled historically in Portland, winning just once in their last 15 visits. Portland is red-hot, having won four straight and eight of its last nine games. However, the Pacers are the stronger team overall, led by Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam, and should cover the -5 spread.
Heat -3.5 (-108)
The Heat will look to carry their momentum into Tuesday’s game against the Bulls. Miami has been playing well, winning three of its last four games, and Bam Adebayo’s recent change to a more dynamic role has been a key factor in its success. Chicago, reeling from recent trade rumors and the loss of Zach LaVine, will struggle to keep up with the Heat’s all-around play. Expect Miami to cover the -3.5 spread.
Celtics Moneyline (-105)
The Boston Celtics will visit the Cleveland Cavaliers in a showdown of the top two teams in the Eastern Conference. While the Cavaliers are currently in first place, Boston has been playing solid basketball, recently overcoming a 26-point deficit to defeat Philadelphia. The Celtics have the depth and experience to handle the Cavaliers, especially on the road, and should take this one outright on the moneyline.
Clippers -8.5 (-115)
The Clippers will be heavy favorites in their matchup against the Lakers on Tuesday. With Luka Doncic not yet debuting for the Lakers, the Clippers will take advantage of the absence of their crosstown rivals’ new superstar. Without Anthony Davis, it’ll be challenging to overcome defensively. Without Doncic on the court, offensively, the Lakers will have to try to get by until he can play. The Clippers are coming off a strong performance and should cover the -8.5 spread, especially as they continue to fight for playoff positioning.
Daniel Gafford Over 25.5 Points + Rebounds (-120)
Daniel Gafford has been a strong presence for the Dallas Mavericks recently, and with his recent surge in production, he’s set up to exceed 25.5 points and rebounds against the Philadelphia 76ers. Gafford has averaged 17.4 points and 10.0 rebounds per game over his last five games, and the 76ers’ defense has been vulnerable inside. Expect Gafford to contribute in both scoring and rebounding to hit the over on this line.
