Tuesday Night NBA bets finish off this crazy month of January. Bovada online sportsbook jumped up with some fast numbers. The All-Star Break draws ever closer. The NBA schedule is nice and balanced, with seven games on this slate. Now, fans get treated to home games at Indiana and Dallas on this night.
NBA Tuesday Night Numbers | ||
---|---|---|
Chicago Bulls | -110 | -110 |
Indiana Pacers (-1.0) | -110 | -110 |
Washington Wizards | -110 | -110 |
Dallas Mavericks (-7.0) | -110 | -110 |
The Indiana Pacers love some good old home cooking. Unfortunately, their overall record indicates a team falling on hard times. Indiana lost seven straight games and has seen their home record drop to 15-9. However, the NBA changes on a dime. A losing streak turns into a winning streak in no time flat. This year, basketball feels like a yo-yo, particularly in the National Basketball Association.
All hope is not lost. Indiana comes off a long four-game road trip where they did play better in Phoenix. The Suns defeated the Pacers, but Indiana managed to cover. Staying close proved more vital than most could think. Yes, it was another loss, but Indiana remains ninth in the East for now. They can return to .500 with a few wins and some home fortune.
The rumors about Myles Turner getting traded may not come to fruition. Now, that defense shows up better at home (112 points per game allowed since December 1). Those road numbers are uglier. Indiana’s net rating ranks 25th overall but 15th at home. Again, Turner and Buddy Hield flourish together. It is a 1-2 punch that expects to cause Chicago huge matchup problems on Tuesday night.
So, Tuesday Night NBA Bets fights to figure out how to make heads or tails of this game. Why? For one, it is an adventurous challenge. Wagering on some of these lesser battles makes for some great learning experiences. Also, it provides some potential for money-making opportunities. Chicago is a mere 8-14 on the road, yielding nearly 120 points per game over the past six weeks. Those first games of a road trip can be rough—side with Indiana.
Do Tuesday Night NBA Bets offer more wages for this Indiana-Chicago contest? There exist a few decent prop choices, a team over/under, and a game over/under. Taking a peek at some trending stats reveals new wrinkles to turn. Most everyone expects Indiana to come home and rollover. Offensively, both teams pushing the temp seems like a given. The only question is how much?
Again, being under .500 increases the urgency as both teams are in the dreaded “7-10 zone”. Simply, that means the play-in round. After all, the goal is to finish as a six-seed or better. With the Eastern Conference, teams can move up quickly with just a few wins.
Yes, Tyrese Haliburton makes life easier for Indiana. Without the talent, this forces Indiana to alter their style of play. How they performed against Phoenix indicates a winning path is attainable. The Pacers are close. It is all about sealing the deal in the fourth quarter. Again, getting home expects to prove influential tonight. Indiana shooting better at home may just be enough (41.9% as opposed to 40% on the road).
Therefore, bettors hawking the spread may want to scope out the overs and unders instead of the props for once. NBA Vegas betting sites pondered dropping the over down to 235, while others wanted to approach 240. In the end, getting a number of 237.5 is almost right. Based on previous matchups, Indiana could connect on the team over with the under-narrowing working tonight.
The Tuesday Night NBA Bets welcome the Dallas Mavericks into the spotlight. Dallas is home again on Tuesday night against the Washington Wizards. After a resounding win against Miami, the Mavericks faltered badly in the second half against the Los Angeles Clippers. Dallas got outscored by 19 in the second half over the weekend in a deflating 112-98 defeat. Jason Kidd said later, “that was a painful lesson to learn against a good Clippers team.”
So, with the offense going through Luka Doncic, Dallas figures to have an easier time against a Washington team that plays more meekly away from home. Though Washington has won consecutive games, the Wizards lose two games for every one tilt (8-16) when not in Washington. The Kuzma-Beal-Porzingis trio carries less zip especially playing in Dallas. Kristaps Porzingis will not play due to an ankle injury.
The dilemma when wagering here is that Dallas could hammer this Washington team without Porzingis. Dallas can employ their lineup differently and allow their bigs to assert more will than usual. That stretches the court so Luka Doncic can operate inside or outside. Washington cannot adjust fast enough to cope with how Dallas plays at American Airlines Center.
For Tuesday Night NBA Bets, consider going with more of a hammer for Dallas. So, take at least a full unit on the Maverick’s covering. After that, see where the team overlies and consider betting with Dallas. Again, wait till the afternoon to get the best number.
For a way to spice things up, try some NBA online prop bets here. Player props include Luka Doncic, over 34.5 points and over 10.5 rebounds for Dallas. Bradley Beal’s under 4.5 assists at +115 is a good one from the Washington side.
