Our NBA betting experts broke down the full slate and have come away with their best NBA bets tonight and NBA picks for Tuesday.
Magic -8.5 vs. Nets
7:00 p.m. ET ⋅ NBA League Pass
I think this is a good get-right spot for them after an embarrassing loss to the Hawks. They are the best against the spread team and lost to the worst against the spread team in the Hawks. Coming off a road loss and heading back home, generally I don't look to back those teams, but the Magic are 3-2 against the spread off a road loss in their home game this season.
The Nets are pretty bad and off a win are 8-11-2 against the spread.
Paolo is questionable and missed last game out due to illness so keep an eye on their injury report.

Magic -8.5 vs. Nets
7:00 p.m. ET ⋅ NBA League Pass
By Matt Moore
The Magic are 23-12 against the spread against teams under .500 this season. They love beating up on bad teams and have been really good in that spot this year.
They are 16-9 against the spread after a loss. I think the current number is indicative of Paolo being questionable. I expect him to play and be fine. I make this line 10.5, and I won't be surprised for it to get to 9.

Pistons +11 at Bulls
8:00 p.m. ET ⋅ NBA League Pass
By Jay Money
I do not trust the Bulls at double-digit favorites. This is their first time laying double digits all season long.
The Pistons have been playing much better basketball of late. I love how Cade Cunningham and his supporting cast have been playing. There is a caveat, if any of these guys are out, mainly Cunningham, then I don't like this. They are obviously on a back-to-back so keep an eye out for that.
The Pistons are 13-9 against the spread as double-digit underdogs and two of their eight wins have come when they were a double-digit dog. I wouldn't be surprised to see them win this one outright.

Thunder -10 vs. Rockets
10:00 p.m. ET ⋅ TNT
By Matt Moore
The injury report is clear for OKC, and I am surprised this number is as low as it is. I have this projected to be 12.5, so I have good clearance on the line.
I think Houston can be a good team at times, but they have been struggling lately. Houston is a great team to fade on the road. They are 9-17-1 against the spread on the road this season and this is a duplex spot. They were tied at 80 and then OKC went on an absolute tear to destroy the Rockets. I just don't think Houston is built to win this game.
