NBA Betting Tips: Luka hoping to make amends for Lakers
Thursday night sees the final three regular-season games take place before the All-Star weekend, and after just landing one-out-of-three yesterday, I'm hoping to go into the break on a high!
Below you can find my NBA betting tips, where I've picked out a tip for each match.

Charlotte Hornets -11.5 (@ Indiana Pacers) @ 10/13
The Hornets are on a two-game winning run, and they've got a great chance to make it three on the spin on Thursday night against the Pacers.
LaMelo Ball and Kon Knueppel will provide plenty of offensive threat for the Hornets, with the former racking up 37 points in the win against the Wizards as well as scoring a further 16 points against the Bulls.
Indiana have lost their last four and they're rooted to the bottom of the Eastern Conference. After the Achilles injury Tyrese Haliburton suffered in last year's NBA Finals, Indiana are firmly in tanking mode, so I'm taking Charlotte -11.5 here.

Philadelphia 76ers - Money Line (vs Miami Heat) @ 10/13
The 76ers also arrive into Thursday's game on a two-game winning run, and I'm backing them on the money line against the Heat here.
Miami have lost their last two road games, most recently at Milwaukee, and are desperately trying to remain in the play-off hunt, currently sitting in eighth spot in the Eastern Conference.
In addition, I reckon home advantage will be key for the Sixers here, who have star big man Joel Embiid back and firing on all cylinders, scoring 27 points against the Pacers last time out.

Los Angeles Lakers -5.5 (@ Phoenix Suns) @ 1/1
After a heart-breaking loss to the Magic, where Luka Doncic gave up the final shot, the Lakers have the perfect opportunity to make amends here against the Suns, who are expected to be without Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks.
LA have lost four of their last six outings, as well as the most recent meeting between these two sides back in December. Austin Reaves has been in decent form since returning from injury, and Deandre Ayton has been rejuvenated in the rebounding department, so I can see both having big games on Thursday night.
Doncic will also be out to prove a point, after giving up a potential game-winning shot against Orlando - so let's take the Lakers on the spread.
