Indiana Pacers +12.5 (@ New York Knicks) @ 4/5
Indiana were a busy team at the trade deadline, and they needed to make some changes, as they've had a woeful season up until this point.
The Pacers head to the Big Apple on the back of four consecutive defeats, and it feels like they're better off giving up on the remainder of the season, ready to make a run next year.
The Knicks enjoyed a big win over Boston on the road on Sunday, but only one point separated these two sides when they clashed earlier this season. I don't trust the NY to blow out this Indiana team that are playing without pressure, so the visitors are worth taking on the massive spread here.

Phoenix Suns to win (vs Dallas Mavericks) @ 1/3
My second selection focuses on the all-Western Conference meeting between the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks.
My rationale behind this tip is quite simple - the Mavericks are currently on a seven-game losing skid, and Phoenix have won four of the last five meetings between the pair, including a 123-114 win earlier this term.
Phoenix have lost their last two, but they're firmly within the play-off hunt so I'm expecting a bounce back game here from the Suns. Devin Booker is one of the best scorers in the league, and the Mavs are surrendering an average of 117 points-per-game.

Over 229.5 points - Los Angeles Lakers vs San Antonio Spurs @ 10/11
This game marks the second leg of a back-to-back for the Lakers, who lost last night to the defending champions the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Luka Doncic could be absent for this one, as he missed Monday's defeat with a hamstring strain, making LA a risky play here. So, I'm going to look at the total points market, rather than backing one of these two on the spread or money line.
The Spurs head to LA on the back of a four-game winning streak, which has seen them score 135 and 138 in their last two contests, but they also gave up 123 and 125 in those matches, too.
If Doncic is out, the Lakers will be relying on the experience of LeBron James, who has scored 20 points or more in five of his last six matches. So, I'm taking the over on the points total at the Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday.
