Tuesday NBA Betting Guide
Best Bets: PHI vs DEN | NYK vs BRK Player Props: 2 Must-Play Picks
Leg 1: Knicks Cover -12.5 at Brooklyn Nets (-110)
The New York Knicks are in a prime position to cover the -12.5 spread against a fatigued Brooklyn Nets squad. New York has been good on the road with a 14-8 mark away from MSG. This marks the Nets’ fifth game in just eight days, and it comes on the heels of those four games coming away from home as part of a seven-game West Coast road trip. The travel and packed schedule are evident in their declining performances, as Brooklyn’s offense ranks 27th in points per game (107), while their defense struggles to keep up.
Meanwhile, the Knicks have been dominant, ranking fifth in points per game (117) and third in field goal percentage (49.5%). Their efficiency on both ends of the court highlights the disparity between these two teams. With the Nets ranked 29th in rebounds per game (40.2) and 30th in blocked shots (3.7), New York’s physicality and depth should control the tempo. Even though the Knicks are on the second leg of a back-to-back, it was a day game on Monday, giving them some extra recovery time. New York should ride the momentum of a nine-point home win over the Atlanta Hawks on MLK Day into Brooklyn.

Leg 2: 76ers vs Nuggets Over Game Total 230.5 (-110)
Expect a high-scoring affair when the Philadelphia 76ers take on the Denver Nuggets. Denver’s offense has been firing on all cylinders recently, with Michael Malone’s team clicking thanks to their revamped rotation. The Nuggets currently boast the third-ranked offense in points per game (120) and lead the league in field goal percentage (50.1%), making them one of the most efficient scoring teams. Philadelphia will need to step up offensively to keep up with the red-hot Nuggets.
Given Denver’s impressive record of 25-16-1 to the over this season, this matchup has all the ingredients for a shootout. A realistic outcome could see Denver continuing their offensive dominance while Philadelphia elevates its game to keep it competitive.
Leg 3: Jamal Murray 2+ Made Threes (-210)
We’re locking in Jamal Murray for 2+ three-pointers (-210), opting for a safer approach instead of chasing the 3+ three-pointers (+145) line. This strategy adds an extra layer of security while still providing value for your parlay.
After a slow start to the season, Murray has regained his shooting touch and looks more confident on the floor. Over the last week, the Kentucky product has been heating up, shaking off his slump and rediscovering his rhythm from beyond the arc. On the season, Murray is shooting 38.2% from three, a solid mark that suggests his early struggles were just a phase.
The key here is Murray’s volume. He’s attempted 5+ three-pointers in each of his last five games, giving him plenty of opportunities to cash this prop. With his improved form and consistent attempts, backing Murray for 2+ three-pointers in a high-stakes game feels like a strong foundation for your parlay.
Leg 4: Karl-Anthony Towns 20+ Points (-280)
For tonight’s parlay, we’re taking Karl-Anthony Towns 20+ points (-290) instead of the riskier 25+ points (+110). This choice adds an extra layer of safety, especially with New York heavily favored by double digits against the Brooklyn Nets, which could lead to a blowout and limited minutes for the starters.
Karl-Anthony Towns has been a standout player in his first season with the Knicks, consistently delivering elite performances. The Kentucky product is averaging 25.1 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 3.4 assists this season while shooting an efficient 54.3% from the field and 44% from three-point range. His January production has been particularly strong, with an average of 26.4 points per game, including two games with 25+ points in the Knicks’ last three outings.
While Towns is fully capable of a high-scoring performance, the potential for a lopsided game makes the 20+ points prop the safer and smarter option. With his consistent scoring and efficiency, expect the big man to comfortably hit this mark while leading the Knicks to another strong showing.
2-Game, 4-Leg Parlay Payout: +630
This four-leg parlay offers a balanced mix of high-value plays and smart, secure picks. The Knicks have a golden opportunity to cover -12.5 against a tired Brooklyn Nets squad. The 76ers and Nuggets promise a high-scoring battle, making the Over 230.5 an enticing bet. On the player side, Jamal Murray 2+ threes (-210) and Karl-Anthony Towns 20+ points (-280) provide consistent and reliable options to anchor the parlay. With favorable matchups and standout player performances expected, this parlay is primed to deliver a winning night.
