It's about to be a busy night tonight in the NBA! Here's your daily NBA Betting Guide from betJACK!

New York Knicks at Charlotte Hornets (7 p.m.)

Team Favored and Spread: CHA -7

Total Points: 226

The New York Knicks will face off against the Charlotte Hornets in the Spectrum Center for an Eastern Conference game. The Knicks' play-in chances seem to be gone, and the Hornets are clinging onto their play-in tournament chances and are on a five-game winning streak.

The difference is on the offensive side of the court as New York is averaging 101.3 points in their last three games while Charlotte is scoring 125.4 points in their previous five games.

The Knicks are 0-4 Against The Spread in their last four games played in Charlotte and the under hit in four of the previous five games, so go Charlotte and under.  

Atlanta Hawks at Detroit Pistons (7 pm)

Team Favored and Spread: ATL -5

Total Points: 227.5

The Atlanta Hawks are heading into the Little Caesars Arena to take on the Detroit Pistons in an Eastern Conference game. This will be the third and final regular-season game against one another, with the home team winning both games.

Rookie point guard Cade Cunningham has been doing well in his last eight games as he is averaging 22.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 0.8 blocks, and 1.3 steals while shooting 37.2 percent from beyond the arc in that stretch.

The Hawks are just 2-5 Against The Spread (ATS for short) in their previous seven games against the Pistons and the over hit in five of the last seven games against one another, so go the Hawks and over.

Sacramento Kings at Indiana Pacers (7 p.m.)

Team Favored and Spread: IND -6

Total Points: 235.5

The Sacramento Kings will head to the Gainbridge Fieldhouse to take on the Indiana Pacers in a non-conference game.

Shooting guard Tyrese Haliburton has been doing pretty well in his last four games as he is averaging 12.3 points, three rebounds, eight assists, 0.3 blocks, and one steal.

Power forward Domantas Sabonis is out for this game for Sacramento, so that will be a big blow there. The Kings are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five games played in Indiana and the under hit in nine of the previous 13 games. All in all, go with Indiana and under to hit in this matchup. 

Utah Jazz at Boston Celtics (7:30 p.m.)

Team Favored and Spread: BOS -5

Total Points: 217.5

The Utah Jazz will head to the TD Garden to take on the Boston Celtics in a non-conference matchup. This will be the second and final game against one another, with the Jazz being able to pick up a 137-130 home win earlier this season.

The Celtics are riding a four-game winning streak and have been doing incredibly well. Small forward Jayson Tatum has been doing incredibly well in their last ten games as he is averaging 34.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 0.8 steals while shooting 45.5 percent from three.

The Jazz are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games against the Celtics, while the under is 7-2-1 in the previous ten games against each other. Go with the Jazz to win and the under to hit.

Golden State Warriors at Miami Heat (7:30 p.m.)

Team Favored and Spread: MIA -7

Total Points: 213

The Golden State Warriors will head to the FTX Arena to take on the Miami Heat in a non-conference game. The Warriors are on a three-game losing streak and need to step up if they want to enter the postseason doing decently well.

Offensively as of late has been showing a divide as Golden State is scoring 95.3 points in their last three games while Miami is averaging 110.4 points in their previous five games.

The Warriors are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games against the Heat and the over hit in six of the last seven games against one another, so go with Heat to cover and over to hit.

Brooklyn Nets at Memphis Grizzlies (7:30 p.m.)

Team Favored and Spread: BKN -2

Total Points: 237.5

The Brooklyn Nets will head to the FedExForum tonight to take on the Memphis Grizzlies in a non-conference game. Memphis picked up a 118-104 road win earlier this season in their only H2H matchup.

Point guard Ja Morant (knee) and small forward Killian Tillie (knee) are already both ruled out, so it seems to be a chance for the Nets to continue winning. Power forward Kevin Durant has dominated in his last nine games as he is averaging 308 points, 6.6 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 0.6 blocks, and 0.8 steals in that stretch while shooting 55.1/41.5/92.4 in that span.

The Nets are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games played in Memphis and the over hit in four of the previous five games in Memphis. Go with the Nets and over!

Phoenix Suns at Minnesota Timberwolves (8 p.m.)

Team Favored and Spread: PHO -1.5

Total Points: 237

The Phoenix Suns will head to the Target Center to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves in a Western Conference game. This is the third and final regular-season they are meeting with the Suns picking up a win in both of those games.

Shooting guard Devin Booker has been dominating in his last five games specifically as he is averaging 30.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, six assists, 0.2 blocks, and 1.4 steals per game.

Phoenix is 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 games against Minnesota and the under hit in four of the previous five games in Minnesota so go with the Suns to win and under to hit.

Orlando Magic at Oklahoma City Thunder (8 p.m.)

Team Favored and Spread: ORL -1.5

Total Points: 220.5

The Orlando Magic will head to the Paycom Center to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in a non-conference game. Orlando won the only other game with a low-scoring 90-85 home win back on Sunday.

The Magic are on a two-game winning streak while the Thunder are on a 10-game losing streak. Point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been doing very well in his last nine games as he is averaging 29 points, 5.7 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 0.9 blocks, and 1.7 steals per game but is also listed as questionable with an ankle injury.

The Magic are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games, so go with the Thunder to cover as well as the under to hit.

Houston Rockets at Dallas Mavericks (8:30 p.m.)

Team Favored and Spread: DAL -9.5

Total Points: 225.5

The Houston Rockets will take a trip to the American Airlines Center to take on the Dallas Mavericks in a Western Conference showdown.

The Mavs will be without point guard Luka Doncic (ankle) for this game, but the rest of Dallas should step up. Looking at the defensive side of things this season, the Mavericks are second in the NBA with 104.2 points per game, while the Rockets are last in the sport with 118.2 points per game.

Go with the Dallas Mavericks to win by double-digits here and the under to hit in as it hit in eight of the previous 11 games played in Dallas.

Philadelphia 76ers at Los Angeles Lakers (10 p.m.)

Team Favored and Spread: PHI -7.5

Total Points: 229.5

The Philadelphia 76ers will head to the Crypto.com Arena tonight to take on the Los Angeles Lakers in a non-conference game. These teams played once this season already, with the Sixers winning 105-87 at home earlier this year.

Center Joel Embiid has been playing incredibly well in his previous nine games as he is averaging 30.1 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 blocks, and 1.6 steals per game in that stretch.

Philly is 6-1 ATS in their previous seven games against Los Angeles and the under hit in four of the last five games, so go with the 76ers to cover and the under to hit.

San Antonio Spurs at Portland Trail Blazers (10 p.m.)

Team Favored and Spread: SA -8.5

Total Points: 232.5

The San Antonio Spurs will head to the Moda Center on the Portland Trail Blazers in a Western Conference matchup. This is just the second of four games against one another this year. Last time out, the Spurs were able to win on the road 114-83.

The bigger difference has been on the defensive side of the court as of late as San Antonio is allowing 117.3 points in their previous three games while Portland is giving up 125 points in their last four games.

Go with the Spurs to cover the spread and the over to hit as it hit in 18 of the previous 25 games against one another.
