NBA Betting Tips: Knicks feature in Wednesday’s picks
All three of yesterday's picks almost came in, with the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics both covering the spread but the Golden State Warriors lost to the Orlando Magic, meaning we had to settle for two-out-of-three.
Wednesday night, once again, brings us plenty of NBA action, and below you can find my NBA Betting Tips and see who I'm backing.

Money Line - Houston Rockets (@ Cleveland Cavaliers) @ 5/6
This cross-conference battle sees the red-hot Houston Rockets visit the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Rockets are an offensive juggernaut, averaging a league-best 124.8 points per game, driven by the arrival of Kevin Durant in the off-season and the elite playmaking of Alperen Sengun, who's averaging roughly seven assists a game.
Cleveland, despite a respectable record (10-5) at this early stage of the season, will be missing key players for this clash, namely Darius Garland, which places a lot of pressure on Donovan Mitchell to run the offence.
Houston can take advantage of Cleveland absences here, and their immense firepower should be enough to see them triumph on the money line.

Under 231.5 points - Miami Heat vs Golden State Warriors @ 10/11
This game is the second of a back-to-back for Golden State, and given how old their team is, you'd imagine that fatigue will play a part in Wednesday night's tussle with Miami.
The Warriors are looking to bounce back from the aforementioned defeat to Orlando, and of course, this contest sees Jimmy Butler return to Miami, now wearing a Golden State jersey.
Bam Adebayo, Miami's primary rim protector, could be absent here and given the volume of three-point shots that the Warriors take, that could hurt the Heat defensively.
The Heat’s defence-first culture under coach Erik Spoelstra will keep this one competitive, though, so I'm taking the under on the points market.

New York Knicks -5.5 (@ Dallas Mavericks) @ 1/1
Finally, I'm taking a look at the contest between the Dallas Mavericks and New York Knicks.
The Knicks are still searching for their first road win, and here's where I think they'll get it. Dallas have been plagued by injuries all season long and they come into this game off the back of a 120-96 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday.
Injuries have also been a concern for New York, who were without Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby in the loss on the road to Miami last time out, making them 0-4 away from Madison Square Garden.
However, Dallas' 4-11 record speaks for itself and I think NY gets back on track here.
