Today's Best NBA Bets: Odds, lines, & picks for Tuesday
By Kate Constable
Trail Blazers at Warriors Prediction
The Trail Blazers (29-31 SU, 30-28-2 ATS, 30-28 O/U) travel south for a quick, one-game road trip to take on the Warriors (31-30 SU, 29-32 ATS, 35-23 O/U).
This is going to be a battle between the two hottest three-point shooters in the NBA in Damian Lillard and Klay Thompson. Lillard is coming off a 71-point performance in which he knocked down 13 3s. I don’t foresee that happening again, but it speaks to how good the Blazers' offense has been lately. They have the fourth-best offensive rating on the season and are currently only a half-game behind New Orleans for the 10th seed. There is also a chance that Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins are out for this game, which will give the Blazers the advantage despite being on the road.
PICK: Trail Blazers +4.5

Timberwolves at Clippers Prediction
The Timberwolves (31-32 SU, 28-33-2 ATS, 29-34 O/U) continue their California road trip tonight against the Clippers (33-30 SU, 31-32 ATS, 29-33 O/U).
The Clippers are one of the best under teams at home this season. They have a 7-21-1 over/under record, which equates to the UNDER hitting 75.9 percent of the time. That said, their past two games went into overtime and sailed over the totals. L.A.'s defense hasn’t been great lately, but tonight presents a good opportunity to get it back on track against a Timberwolves squad that has struggled on the offense. The Wolves rank 24th in offensive efficiency over their past five games and have struggled mightily from all areas of the floor, including the free-throw line, where they rank 29th over that span. Plus, this is one of our BetQL model's favorite total plays today, coming in as a four-star pick.
PICK: Timberwolves-Clippers UNDER 235
Kings at Thunder Prediction
The Kings (35-25 SU, 33-26-1 ATS, 29-30-1 O/U) hit the road to take on the Thunder (28-32 SU, 35-22-3 ATS, 34-26 O/U) tonight for the second time in three days.
The Thunder have been one of the best against the spread teams in the league this season, but without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the lineup tonight, I'm not confident that they're going able to keep up with the Kings' offense. That was the case when these two teams played on Sunday, and Sacramento won by nine in OKC. The Kings have been rolling lately, winning four of their past five games, including their last two road games, which is an area they've struggled in the past. If the Thunder are down big at the half, I'll probably look to back them in the third quarter being they've been the best ATS team out of the half. But for the full game, my money is on Sacramento to get the season sweep.
PICK: Kings -3
