NBA Tips and Previews, Tuesday 13th April

Tips, Previews and all you need ahead of Tuesday's NBA action

It was an absolute fill up job on Saturday as the team nailed four out of five best bets with the highlight being the Charlotte Hornets getting the job done over the Bucks at the $3.91. 

Let’s keep that momentum going into Tuesday NBA from across the USA as the LA Lakers and New Yorks Knicks begin the day. 

LA Lakers @ New York

April 13th 9:30am

Two defensive powerhouses do battle at the Madison Square Garden when the Los Angeles Lakers face the New York Knicks on Tuesday morning. 

In a season that has left the Lakers without champion pairing LeBron James and Anthony Davis, it has seen the 2020 NBA championship winning team struggle to maintain its spot in the top three teams of the Western Conference. 

The Knicks, who concede only 105 points per game thus far this season, will sense a grand opportunity to improve on its 27-27 overall season. 

While the return of James and Davis will likely occur this month, the Knicks are likely to get the job done on its home parquet.  

Suggested Bet: New York Knicks to cover the -2.5 point spread at $1.91

Philadelphia @ Dallas

April 13th 9:30am

The Joel Embiid led Philadelphia 76ers take the their talents to the American Airlines for a big clash against the Dallas Mavericks.

Doc Rivers has taken the 76ers to a 36-17 overall record with Embiid playing a huge part as they currently sit first in the East. 

The Mavericks will look to quell his 29.4 point per game and 11.4 rebound per game average with the form of franchise stalwart Luka Doncic. 

The 22-year-old Slovenian shooting guard has been prolific all season averaging 28.5 points per game (fifth in the league). 

The 76ers did start the -4.5 spread favourites last time they played the Mavericks at scooted away to a 111-97 victory thanks to 23 points and nine rebounds to Embiid. 

Kristaps Porzingis played no part in the loss against the 76ers earlier and with the current form he is in there is definitely a case to made that he can slow, match it with and potentially win his individual battle against Embiid. 

Dallas get the chance to respond at home after losing to San Antonio 119-117 yesterday. 

Suspect the 76ers will have a little too much class, but this will be a tight one and the value is definitely with the home team. 

Suggested Bet: Dallas Mavericks head to head at $2.25

San Antonio @ Orlando

April 13th 10:00am

The Orlando Magic will seek to arrest a five-game slide at when it welcomes the San Antonio Spurs to the Amway Centre.

After five-game road trip which yielded two impressive victories over the New Orleans Pelicans and the Los Angeles Clippers, Orlando ended its travel with consecutive losses. 

The return home for the Magic has so far amounted to defeats against Washington, Indiana and most recently Milwaukee. 

A change of fortune for the Spurs may see them take advantage of the struggling Magic. 

Gregg Popovich’s men were able to put a run of five losses in a row behind them with a 119-117 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. 

Demar DeRozan racked up 33 points to go with eight assists in the win and he is the man the Magic need to be most cautious of. 

The Spurs do have to wood over the Magic after smashing them with 104-77 victory at home earlier this season

Even with this game being on the road, Spurs have genuine playoffs aspirations. 

Suggested Bet: San Antonio Spurs to cover the -5.5 point spread at $1.91

Sacramento @ New Orleans

April 13th 11:00am

The Sacramento Kings will be looking to snap a six-game losing streak when they travel to take on the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday. 

Sacramento dropped its sixth straight match falling to the Utah Jazz on Sunday, 128-112.

Meanwhile, the Pelicans improved its record to 24-29 and kept its flame flickering on the playoffs berth this season with a 116-109 win over Cleveland on Sunday. 

Another grand chapter in the Zion Williamson story was written after he went for 38 points, nine rebound and four assists in the seven-point victory. 

This game marks the third and final time these two teams meet in the regular season with the series tied at one a piece. 

Sacramento got the chocolates in a 118-109 triumph over the Pelicans at the Smoothie King Centre back in February. 

While the Kings are in poor form, the market had these two very tight last time. 

The gap in the market this time around looks way too inflated. Value with the Kings here. 

Suggested Bet: Sacramento Kings to cover the +3.5 point spread at $1.91. 

Denver @ Golden State

April 13th 12:00pm

The Denver Nuggets go on the road for just one game, as they take on the Golden State Warriors on Monday evening.

The Nuggets are coming off a five-game homestand, in which they won four of five.

The lone loss in that stretch came on Monday, after a 105-87 loss to the Boston Celtics. 

Meanwhile, the Warriors are coming off a big 125-109 victory over the Houston Rockets on Sunday after Stephn Curry registered a 38-point game to help his squad move to a 25-28 overall season record.

Curry was at his point scoring best against the Nuggets when they last met this season. 

The star guard would go for 35 points and 11 rebounds but it was not enough to deal with an efficient Denver squad who would go on to prevail 114-104.  

Suggested Bet: Denver Nuggets head to head at $1.63
