Today's Best NBA Betting Picks

Please note lines are subject to change throughout the day after this article is published. All injuries come from the official NBA injury report unless otherwise noted.

Miami Heat at Detroit Pistons

Pistons Moneyline (+102)

These two teams' injury reports are moving in the opposite direction as NBA Cup Group Play gets underway.

Visiting Motown, the Miami Heat will be without Jimmy Butler (ankle) for a second consecutive game. They were able to squeak by the Minnesota Timberwolves without him on Sunday, but they also got waxed by the Denver Nuggets on Friday after he left the contest. Those efforts were good for a -5.9 net rating (NRTG) overall.

On the home side, the Detroit Pistons upgraded Jalen Duren (ankle) to questionable, indicating he might make his return from a two-game leave. Duren's on-off splits might be harmed by a team that's improved around him to win four of seven -- and lose two other one-possession tilts. Their NRTG is +0.6 in this stretch.

Detroit enters with more of their key pieces, and I have to think the public is playing the more consistent basketball apparatus (Miami) at this small number, yet it continues to shrink. The Motors could close as favorites when Duren is ruled as playing.

New York Knicks at Philadelphia 76ers

Over 213.0 Points (-110)

In terms of starters, the New York Knicks' injury report is clean, but the Philadelphia 76ers are swapping out stars.

Joel Embiid (knee) makes his season debut for Philly tonight, and the team had a stellar 122.0 offensive rating (ORTG) when he was on the floor last year in medium-to-high leverage situations, per PBP Stats. The team's is fourth-worst in the league (107.4) to begin this campaign. It shouldn't be a surprise he'll help them score.

The Sixers swap out Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) in this exchange, though. Their offensive rating is just 99.3 this season with Maxey off the floor in those situations, but replacement Reggie Jackson (123.3 DRTG) is the worst defender on this team, which aids the overall argument for a game total.

These two squads are bottom three in adjusted pace this season, but I expect the Sixers to play a less ugly brand of basketball with Embiid back. They were 18th in adjusted pace a year ago under Nick Nurse.

New York's defense might also be a bit overrated; their 115.7 DRTG is 10th-worst in the league. With that being the case, Tuesday's lowest overall game total just seems to be a bit too low for the big man's projected boost.

Toronto Raptors at Milwaukee Bucks

Bucks Under 117.5 Points (-115)

Even with the Toronto Raptors coming to town, the Milwaukee Bucks are simply out of dudes.

Damian Lillard (concussion) won't play Tuesday, leaving A.J. Green and Pat Connaughton to fill major minutes at the point. Khris Middleton (ankles) has also yet to play this season.

Lillard might be Milwaukee's most substantial offensive on-off condition because of their depth down low. In medium-to-high leverage situations, the Bucks' ORTG drops from 119.8 to 115.0 when he's sitting. That should ultimately decline given Giannis Antetokounmpo can't possibly cover all of those non-Lillard minutes tonight.

A worsening Raptors matchup might hurt this case, too. Toronto's DRTG is still bad in its last five games (119.3), but they've dropped to the league's 12th-slowest pace in this time to protect it. We could see the Bucks shift down a gear without Dame, as well.

This is unnerving when five of Toronto's last six opponents have exceeded 120 points scored, but Milwaukee's rotation now significantly lacks quality three-point shooting, and their best scorers will be forced to pass through Jakob Poeltl.
