Nevertheless, there's more top-tier basketball action to enjoy tonight with some early Christmas crackers on the agenda. Read on for my NBA Betting Tips for Tuesday, December 2.

Philadelphia 76ers -12.5 (vs Washington Wizards) @ 10/11
Philly came out on the wrong side of a double overtime thriller with Atlanta on Sunday, but this is a perfect opportunity for them to get back on track against a Washington Wizards side that are currently sat rock-bottom of the Eastern Conference.
Despite losing to the Hawks, Tyrese Maxey was sensational on the night for the Sixers, racking up 44 points, and Washington will do well to keep him quiet here.
The Wizards have won just three games this season, however two of those wins have come in the past week (against Atlanta and Milwaukee), so they may have turned a corner.
This is the second time the sides will meet this season, with Philly winning the first match-up 139-134 in overtime back in October. I think it'll be the same outcome again here, but by a bigger margin.

New York Knicks +2.5 (@ Boston Celtics) @ 4/5
It's battle of the Gardens on Tuesday night as the Boston Celtics host the New York Knicks in an all-Eastern Conference affair.
The Knicks are looking to extend their four-game winning streak here, but Boston will be desperate to halt that run, especially after being eliminated by their fierce rivals in last season's play-offs.
The Celtics have had an inconsistent start to the season, mainly due to Jayson Tatum's absence through injury, but can beat anyone on their day, in my opinion.
It's worth noting that NY's good run of form has mainly come in front of their own fans where they're 10-1, whereas their record on the road is 3-5. That being said, I'm taking the Knicks to cover here.
NY were 105-95 winners when the teams met at Madison Square Garden in October and I think the slower pace of this game will suit the Knicks more.

Oklahoma City Thunder -11.5 (@ Golden State Warriors) @ 5/6
The Oklahoma City Thunder have made the second-best start in NBA history as their record currently sits at 20-1. The only franchise that has had a better start you ask? The 2015/16 Golden State Warriors, who went on to win 73 games in the regular season - a record that still stands today, and one OKC will be eyeing up.
The Thunder are a riding a 12-game winning streak and it's easy to see why they're huge favourites for this game. There's a chance Steph Curry will be absent for the Warriors, which is obviously a huge miss.
GSW are 7-2 at home this season, which gives them a better chance of springing an upset on Tuesday night, but it's so difficult to overlook this Thunder team, who seem to be going from strength-to-strength.
