Three NBA tips for February 17th, 2022.
A 3-1 record on Tuesday. We now have a 68-44 record on the season.
All-Star Weekend is coming up so we’ll see you after the break.
Miami Heat at Charlotte Hornets Betting Tips:
The Hornets have really been feeling the loss of Gordon Hayward as they have lost eight of their last nine games. They face a great Miami team here tonight who have won five of their past six games.
Miami is such a hard team to bet because they do the most injury prevention of any team in the league. Jimmy Butler is seemingly listed as questionable or probable for every game. He’s probable tonight which means he should be playing. They’ll need him with Tyler Herro still out. If he plays, I think he’s enough to get the cover.
These two teams recently played to a 104-86 final score so the Miami defense is really capable of swarming this young team without Hayward.

Dallas Mavericks at New Orleans Pelicans Betting Tips:
The Dallas Mavericks have been playing very well of late and have a much improved defense this season. They’ve won five of their past six games and are looking to finish strong before the All-Star break.
They get a great match-up tonight in the New Orleans Pelicans. This team made the big trade for C.J. McCollum who has been great for them thus far, but it hasn’t lead to much in the wins category. This team has some pieces that could make them a good team when Zion Williamson returns, but as they stand they just don’t have a lot of depth and will struggle against good teams. The Mavs are a good team.
Pick: Bet Mavericks -2.5

Philadelphia 76ers at Milwaukee Bucks Betting Tips:
The Sixers are still weakened without Harden and come into this game as a -6.5 underdog. The lack of shooting is hurting them right now as Embiid is dominating, but the rest just isn’t happening.
Milwaukee has played well of late, but the defense has been an absolute mess. Somehow this team has won the last six match-ups between these two teams. Milwaukee is hobbled right now in the backcourt with Pat Connaughton, George Hill, and Grayson Allen all likely out for this one.
At first I thought this line was high, but then I took a step back and realized it’s almost generous to the Bucks. This is the last game before the All-Star break so minutes restrictions shouldn’t really be a thing. The Bucks are weakened, but in their case that just means more Giannis/Khris/Jrue. The Sixers can only answer with Embiid/Harris. That’s not going to be enough.
Pick: Bet Bucks -6.5
