Take Golden State. The Warriors are 8-2 against the spread in their last 10 games overall, covering in six of their last seven games. The only time they failed to cover was against the Cavs on November 8 and Cleveland has been the top team in the league right now.
Dallas, meanwhile, has been inconsistent. The Mavs pushed as a 2-point underdog at Denver and lost outright to the Suns as a 2.5-point home favorite. They covered as a 10-point favorite against the Bulls in Dallas. That said, they lost outright to the Pacers as a 4.5-point favorite. While Dallas has won three straight games against Golden State, I’m going to take the better, most consistent Warriors tonight.
Mavericks vs. Warriors Betting Prediction: GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS -2.5
Embiid not listed on injury report
Joel Embiid is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Knicks. Embiid’s three-game suspension is over, and now he’s healthy enough to make his season debut. This will be a situation worth monitoring, since he has been managing a left knee injury. His return should push Andre Drummond back to the bench, but we’ll see how many minutes Embiid plays before dropping his fill-in.
Take Philadelphia. The 76ers have had a hell of a time at the window this season, posting a 2-7 ATS record. That said, it’s not as if the Knicks are playing great entering play tonight. They’re coming off a 132-121 loss to the Pacers in Indiana as a 3.5-point favorite. They’ve been favored in their last four games and have covered just once – a 116-94 victory over the Bucks. The Sixers have been miserable. That said, with both teams struggling, I’m going to take the points.
Knicks vs. 76ers Betting Prediction: PHILADELPHIA 76ERS +3
