On Tuesday, there are a handful of games on the basketball television schedule that we have circled that should be good ones. Check out our NBA picks for Tuesday!
NBA Matchup: Boston Celtics @ Miami Heat
Date: Tuesday, April 10th, 7:00 ET
Location: American Airlines Arena, Miami, FL
NBA Betting Odds: Miami -7.5
NBA TV Schedule: ESPN
Oh, Miami, how overrated you are in this situation! The Heat had won 17 games in a row at home before getting romped by Memphis over the weekend, and now, they are getting a heck of a lot of respect against a team that is playing as well as any team in the league. Dwyane Wade is going to be back in the fold tonight, and we just don’t think that that is going to be all that much help as far as the chemistry goes for this squad. Ray Allen coming off of the bench is an ingenious move by Head Coach Doc Rivers. The Heat are going to be far more interested in Thursday’s battle in the Windy City than this one against the boys from Beantown, and we think that the Chowder Heads are going to be able to come out of South Beach with the upset on Tuesday night on national TV.
NBA Pick: Boston +7.5
NBA Matchup: New York Knicks @ Chicago Bulls
Date: Tuesday, April 10th, 9:30 ET
Location: United Center, Chicago, IL
NBA Betting Odds: Chicago -8.5
NBA TV Schedule: ESPN
It was only two days ago that the Knicks beat the Bulls by a point in OT. It is clear that this New York team is good enough to beat anybody in the league, but the quest just to get into the playoffs definitely won’t be easy. The Bulls don’t lose games at home all that often, as they are 22-6 here at the United Center this year. We could see Derrick Rose back in the lineup again for this one, and if he plays again, don’t expect to see him shoot 8-of-26 from the floor. Don’t expect Carmelo Anthony to go off for 32 again either, nor should Tyson Chandler pull down 16 boards. Chicago should take this one by double digits.
NBA Pick: Chicago -8.5
