NBA 2022: Best bets for all the biggest games on Tuesday

Disappointing to go 2-3 with Anfernee Simons getting a late assist to go over his line. But, it’s regroup time for another busy day in the NBA.

Brooklyn Nets @ Portland Trail Blazers

It is a back-to-back for Brooklyn, but they get Kyrie Irving in to take on a Blazers team, also on a back-to-back, without Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, Larry Nance Jr., and Norman Powell.

A spread of 9.5 points does not seem like enough. With Irving back, I expect James Harden to take a small shooting role, so his points line of 23.5 seems like it is set too high.

Under 23.5 points is paying $1.83 on Sportsbet. I think we have to look at Harden’s assists too.

He is at 9.5 and given he will be facilitating more with Kyrie around, he should get into double digits. On Sportsbet that pays $1.87

Best bet handicap - Nets -9.5

Best bet player points - Harden under 23.5

Best bet player assists - Harden over 9.5

Indiana Pacers @ Boston Celtics

Al Horford has been slumping a little, but seeing his point slime set at only 8.5 points makes me intrigued. I think he goes over and on Sportsbet that pays $1.76

Best bet player points - Horford over 8.5

Utah Jazz @ Detroit Pistons

Mike Conley is not a strong rebounder, so his line is always one to look at for unders. It is set at 4.5 and this game, against Detroit, could end up a blowout.

So, I like Conley to go under, paying $1.71 on Sportsbet.

Best bet player rebounds - Conley under 4.5
