Get the latest NBA betting predictions for this Tuesday. We look at key matchups, player stats and trends to help you make informed decisions and score big wins.
Cleveland Cavaliers (42-25) at Indiana Pacers (38-30)
The Cavs didn't do so hot against the Houston Rockets, losing by 14 points (117-103) on Sunday. None of their starters managed to score over 15 points, but LeVert came off the bench strong with 21 points. Cleveland's been a bit shaky lately, going 2-4 in their last 6 games, although they've won 7 out of their last 10 against Indiana. Unfortunately, they'll be missing Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Max Strus due to injuries.
Indiana, on the other hand, have been doing alright, winning 4 out of their last 6 games. They really showed up against the Nets, thrashing them by 21 points at home on Sunday. Pascal Siakam led the charge with 28 points, while Aaron Nesmith chipped in with 16. They're aiming for a third straight win over the Cavs, having won their last meeting 121-116 back in November, with Myles Turner dropping 27 points. Luckily, no new injuries to report for Indiana.
When it comes to totals, Cleveland has been trending towards the UNDER, with 11 of their last 13 road games going that way, and 10 out of 15 when playing on the road against Indiana. Indiana has seen the UNDER hit in 6 of their last 8 games, and 5 out of 7 at home.
Stadium Record
Indiana are 5-5 in their last 10 at home. Cleveland are 3-2 in the last 5.
Head to Head Record
In the last 10, the Cavs are 7-3.
Best Bet
Miami Heat (37-30) at Philadelphia 76ers (37-30)
Miami is coming off two wins against the Pistons, with the latest being a narrow 3-point victory. Duncan Robinson had a stellar performance with 30 points, while Bam Adebayo contributed 20. They're facing a back-to-back for this matchup but have a solid record against Philadelphia, winning 6 out of their last 7 games. In terms of their lineup, Jimmy Butler is questionable but I'd say he would like to play against one of his former teams.
Philadelphia managed to break a 2-game losing streak by defeating the Hornets on Sunday, with Tyrese Maxey dropping 30 points in an 11-point victory (109-98). However, they've been struggling at home lately, going 2-10-1 ATS in their last 13 home games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 when playing at home against Miami. With Joel Embiid out and Tobias Harris questionable due to injury, they might face some challenges here.
The Heat have owned the 76ers lately with 6 wins in the last 7 meetings and the home side is missing the big presence of Joel Embiid.
Stadium Record
Philadelphia hold a 2-3 record in their last 5 home games. Miami are 4-1 ATS at this venue in their last 5.
Head to Head Record
In the last 7 meetings, the Heat are 6-1.
Best Bet
New York Knicks (39-27) at Golden State Warriors (35-31)
The New York Knicks are seeking their fourth consecutive win as they take on the Golden State Warriors. They've had a successful start to their west coast road-trip, winning against the Kings and the Trail Blazers. Jalen Brunson had a standout performance with 42 points in Sunday's 98-91 win over the Kings. However, they'll be missing Julius Randle indefinitely due to a shoulder injury and OG Anunoby is questionable.
Golden State managed to defeat the Lakers on Sunday by 7 points, with Stephen Curry leading the charge with 31 points and Klay Thompson adding 26. However, they're looking to turn around a 3-game losing streak at home. They won their last meeting against the Knicks with Steph Curry putting up 31 points in early March. Fortunately for them, there are no new injuries to report.
Both teams have been leaning towards the UNDER recently, with the Knicks seeing the UNDER hit in their last 5 games and Golden State in 10 out of their last 13.
Stadium Record
Golden State have lost 3 in a row on their home court. New York are 5-15 in their last 20 games when playing on the road against Golden State.
Head to Head Record
The Warriors are 6-4 in the last 10.
