Charlotte Hornets -16.5 (vs Sacramento Kings) @ 5/6

The Hornets have made some huge strides lately, and put themselves firmly in contention for a post-season berth. A visit from the Kings, who sit rock-bottom of the Western Conference, is an opportunity to solidify their place further.

Charlotte are currently 3-0 on a seven-game homestand heading into Tuesday's encounter, with their most recent win being a 124-101 blowout of the Memphis Grizzlies.

On paper, this looks like another blowout victory for Charlotte - and that's exactly what I'm backing for my first pick.

New York Knicks -8.5 (vs New Orleans Pelicans) @ 5/6

After a wobbly patch, the Knicks have reminded everybody in recent weeks, why they're one of the favourites to emerge from the Eastern Conference.

New York are aiming for a seventh straight win here, but it won't come easily against a revitalised Pelicans outfit, who've won three of their last four.

The Knicks are chasing down Boston in the second seed, and with the Celtics taking on the Thunder later on Wednesday night, this could be a brilliant opportunity for New York to gain further ground on their divisional rivals.

I'm taking a big win for the Knicks at the Garden.

Cleveland Cavaliers -10.5 (vs Orlando Magic) @ 20/21

An intriguing battle to round things off in an all-Eastern Conference battle between Cleveland and Orlando.

The Cavs are likely to finish fourth in the East, but their first-round play-off opponents could be a number of teams, given how close it is between seeds five through 10. One of the teams they may face is Orlando.

Cleveland won the first two fixtures of the year against the Magic, before Orlando struck back in their most recent meeting. However, the Magic have struggled since that victory, losing five in a row, while the Cavaliers have won four of their last five.

Cleveland have some breathing room in terms of their seed in the Eastern Conference, but I'm still backing them here. The Magic are too inconsistent to back on the road, so it's a home win for me.
