NBA Betting Tips: Clippers feature in 8/1 punt

My NBA betting tips came so close to landing on Monday evening, with two out of three proving to be winning selections, so let's see if we can go one better tonight.

There's only four matches taking place on Tuesday but some big hitters are involved, and I've picked out an 8/1 treble for my NBA betting tips.

Charlotte Hornets vs Atlanta Hawks - Hornets (+6.5) @ 10/11

This is one of the more underwhelming match-ups tonight, as the Atlanta Hawks visit the Charlotte Hornets, who have the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference.

The Hawks (32-36) are hanging around play-off contention in the East, so taking care of business against the Hornets is almost essential, especially after they lost to the 23-45 Brooklyn Nets on Sunday.

The Hornets' defence is one of the worst in the league, and they allowed at least 30 points in each of the first three quarters against the LA Clippers last time out.

But something tells me that Charlotte can keep this game close here - they don't have any injuries and they'll arguably have the best player on the floor in LaMelo Ball.

Boston Celtics vs Brooklyn Nets - Celtics (-13.5) @ 10/11

Another fairly obvious pick this one - the Celtics are probably the best team in the NBA and they'll look to continue their dominance over the visiting Brooklyn Nets here.

Boston have won 13 of their last 14 games against the Nets, including a 115-113 victory at Brooklyn on Saturday. Kristaps Porzingis returned to the Boston lineup, which was a welcomed boost, after missing the last eight matches with illness.

Only Cleveland are ahead of Boston in the Eastern Conference standings, and it's difficult to see anything other than a convincing C's victory.

The Nets are 2-10 in their last 12 and essentially have nothing to play for.

Los Angeles Clippers vs Cleveland Cavaliers - Clippers on moneyline @ 6/4

Finally on to what is without doubt the game of the night, between two sides in excellent from. This contest will also be available to watch on TNT Sports 1.

The Clippers have won six of their last seven to propel themselves back into play-off contention in the Western Conference, while the Cavaliers have the best record in the NBA (56-11).

James Harden and Kawhi Leonard appear to be hitting their stride for LA and they now have leading scorer Norman Powell back into the lineup after the shooting guard missed 12 of the last 13 games because of knee and hamstring injuries.

Cleveland's winning streak came to an end with Sunday's loss to the Magic and I think the Clippers' price of 6/4 represents good value.
