Best NBA Odds for Every Game Today (Odds, Spreads and Totals for Tuesday, January 17)
By Peter Dewey
Following a massive slate of games on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the NBA slows down a bit on Tuesday with just eight teams in action.
Still, there are primetime matchups between playoff-contenders to dive in to, starting with the Milwaukee Bucks and Toronto Raptors. Both of these teams are playing the second game of a back-to-back after winning on Monday.
Toronto needed overtime to get past the New York Knicks, while the Bucks handled a shorthanded Indiana Pacers team. Milwaukee has slipped a bit in the Eastern Conference, but it is off to a much better start than Toronto, who finds itself in the No. 11 spot entering this game.
In the Western Conference, the Denver Nuggets look to keep their winning ways going when they host the Portland Trail Blazers at 9 p.m. EST. Denver has won six straight games to hold off the Memphis Grizzlies (winners of 10 straight) for the top spot in the West.
The Nuggets have also been an elite team at home, going 19-3 straight up. Damian Lillard and the Blazers will have their work cut out for them in this matchup.
The night ends with the Philadelphia 76ers taking on Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers at Crypto.com Arena.
The Clippers are hoping to get Paul George (hamstring, questionable) back in the lineup on Tuesday night. Los Angeles has won just three of its last 10 games, but it still has the No. 6 spot in the West.
As for Philly, the team has been on a tear since James Harden returned to the lineup, and the Sixers are just half a game behind the Bucks and Brooklyn Nets (who both play tonight) in the East.
With several great matchups to watch, why not place a wager or two on these games? Here are the best odds available at each sportsbook for the action on Jan. 17:
