The Celtics are 3-1 ATS in the last 4 with the lone non-cover happening versus the Denver Nuggets in a 4-point win as a -7 chalk on Feb. 11 The Sixers welcome James Harden to the fold. Harden may or may not play on Tuesday. Joel Embiid will. But the Cs are playing so well, we must give Boston a shot to pull off the SU upset.

LAC beat the Mavericks in their last. The Clippers are hoping to carry momentum into this Tuesday night throw down versus the Suns. But on Monday night, LAC tackles the Golden State Warriors.

In their last on Feb. 12, Golden State broke a 2-game losing streak with a nice 117-115 win against the Los Angeles Lakers. But Steph Curry and his mates aren’t playing their best basketball. The Warriors are 0-4 against the spread with a push in their last 5. Denver has gone 5-1 ATS in their last 6. The Nuggets cover.

NBA Betting Pick: Nuggets

The Jazz are on a 5-game winning streak and have gone 4-0 against the spread in their last 4. The Lakers beat the Jazz in the last head-to-head. So LAL has a shot. But the Jazz are on fire. So Utah is the play to win and cover.

Milwaukee won the last head-to-head 118-109. Not only that, but even though the Bucks lost their last game heading into this week, it happened on Feb. 10 and it happened against the Phoenix Suns. Before the Suns dropped Milwaukee, the Bucks had won 4 straight. Also, the 76ers might require a few games to get Embiid and Harden on the same page. Milwaukee to win and cover is the play.

NBA Betting Pick: Bucks
