There's nothing better than hitting a sweat-free winner to start the week, and that's exactly what Texas Tech gave us with a 79-50 thrashing over Kansas. Let's keep the good times rolling with our favorite NBA bet for Tuesday night's slate.
This is a perfect spot for the Milwaukee Bucks to jump all over the Miami Heat early in the game.
The Heat will be without Jimmy Butler, Terry Rozier and Josh Richardson on Tuesday night, and Duncan Robinson is questionable to play with a shoulder injury. Khris Middleton is also out for the Bucks, but that shouldn't hurt Milwaukee much in the first quarter.
The five-man lineup of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard, Brook Lopez, Jae Crowder and Malik Beasley has a net rating of 26.9 this season, which is the best mark on the team among lineups that have played at least 30 minutes together. This is a group that can dominate games on both ends of the court, and that will prove especially true against a banged-up Heat lineup missing its best playmaker.
The Bucks have won their last two first quarters at home by a combined 19 points, and we're expecting that trend to continue on Tuesday night.
