NBA Betting Guide for Dec. 3: Knicks Searching for a Streak

We have an eleven-game NBA slate set for tonight, so let’s dive into all the action set for the night ahead.

Kicking off the night, we have a TNT Tuesday doubleheader beginning in Madison Square Garden as the New York Knicks will look to capitalize on their recent strong play against an impressive Orlando Magic team that’s won 12 of their last 13 games. Later, the Denver Nuggets and Golden State Warriors will finish off the doubleheader, where we have you covered with an ultimate same-game parlay.

Tonight will be a big night to decide who advances in the NBA Cup. One of the most important games is between the Detroit Pistons and Milwaukee Bucks. The winner will advance, and the loser will face elimination depending on point-differential scenarios. Other teams, like the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics, will look for help in terms of point differential to make the next round.

Later, in the Western Conference, the Houston Rockets are in the driver’s seat to clinch home-court advantage if they win on the road against the Sacramento Kings tonight. The Golden State Warriors will look for a Rockets loss and a win of their own against the Denver Nuggets for their chance to clinch home-court advantage. Other important matchups include the San Antonio Spurs against the Phoenix Suns and the Utah Jazz against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

It will be a fun night of NBA hoops, so let’s lock-in, enjoy the games, and pump out some winners!
