After going 3-0 with our Monday night NBA best bets, we're hoping to give you a few more winners for an absolutely loaded Tuesday, December 27 slate. Tonight's featured game sees the New York Knicks facing the Dallas Mavericks on NBA TV, so you'll get to see Jalen Brunson in his return to Dallas. That should make for some drama after the Knicks were caught tampering in order to get him from the Mavericks. We are, however, looking to three other games for our picks, so keep reading to find out what we have tonight. Also, make sure you check out our NBA player props parlay for the day. We're hoping to turn a small bet into a big payout using our artificial intelligence and predictive analytics. And we did hit that parlay last night, so we're feeling good about these.
As always, we've simulated all of the night's NBA games 10,000 times each to determine where the value lies for sports bettors across the United States.

The Hawks haven't played a game since December 23, so they have had some time to rest and think about this meeting with the Pacers – and how to fix things moving forward, in general. Meanwhile, Indiana got blown out in a road loss to the New Orleans Pelicans last night, so this team could be tired after having traveled back home for this one. With that in mind, it's hard not to see the value in taking the Hawks to emerge victorious in what should be a fast-paced game.
For as good as the Pacers backcourt can be, the Hawks have them beat in that area and that's hard to ignore here. Indiana is also 20-34 against the spread when coming off a road loss over the last two seasons, and the team is just 15-26 ATS in games with lines of +3 to -3 in that span. This Pacers team has exceeded expectations all year, but this is a tough spot for them. Look for Trae Young and Dejounte Murray to really light it up here.
