NBA Betting Tips: Three picks for Monday’s action

There's plenty of NBA action to enjoy on Monday night, with 11 matches taking place. We've picked out the best bets for the upcoming games.

Clippers @ Pacers - Clippers (-2.5) @ 10/11

The Clippers are heading in the right direction, and come into this game with recent wins over the Kings, Warriors, and Knicks. They should continue to roll against the Pacers, who are struggling on the defensive end and haven't been playing as well on offense, either.

Indiana's high-scoring attack was flat in their last game, managing only 109 points in an 18-point loss to Minnesota.

Tyrese Haliburton has been a key contributor all season for the Pacers, but he's questionable to play here due to a bruised bone. With that considered, I'm siding with the Clippers for this match.

Timberwolves @ Heat - Timberwolves (-1.5) @ 10/11

The Timberwolves currently have the best record in the Western Conference, and are coming off a 127-109 win over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday.

Jimmy Butler's late heroics secured a win for Miami last time out against Chicago, but this is a different test entirely for the Heat.

Minnesota can neutralise Miami's elite three-point shooting, while also taking advantage of the Heat's injury woes as Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo remain absent.

The Timberwolves are 18-3 since a sluggish start to the campaign, and Karl Anthony-Towns and Anthony Edwards are quickly emerging as one of the best duos in the league.

Take Minnesota to cover here.

Mavericks @ Nuggets - Nuggets (-7.5) @ EVS

The Mavericks have been in impressive form coming into this one.

They're currently 16-9 for the season, and third in the Western Conference standings, and have won five of their last six outings - that one loss coming at the hands of Minnesota.

Luka Doncic had a triple-double with 40 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in the Mavericks' 131-120 win at Portland on Saturday to continue his MVP-caliber season, but he'll need to put in a similar kind of performance here if Dallas are to have any chance of winning, in my opinion.

Kyrie Irving will miss his fifth straight game due to injury for the Mavs, and the Nuggets are coming off a disappointing loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder, so I'm expecting a response from the defending champs.

Ultimately, Denver have a better, and deeper, roster, which I feel will be the difference here.
