Hawks vs. Pelicans: Today’s Best NBA Bets & Picks (Tuesday)

With the NBA Trade Deadline approaching, things will get very interesting quickly. There might not be any roster moves tonight, but I’d advise those betting on basketball to pay attention to all moves before making game bets.

It’ll save you.

Or you can bet on teams and games that likely won’t make any moves at the deadline. Again, just be smart about it.

Today’s Best NBA Bets: Hawks vs. Pelicans

All wagers are 1 unit
Odds courtesy of Caesars Sportsbook as of Tuesday morning

Hawks vs. Pelicans

The Atlanta Hawks could be in the trade market. They’re 27-27 on the season and don’t know if they’re contenders or pretenders. But with Trae Young and Dejounte Murray paired up, you’d like to think that the Hawks will only get better by the trade deadline.

The Pelicans are in the same boat. They’re patiently waiting for Zion Williamson to return. He’d be the best deadline acquisition possible for New Orleans.

This is why I wouldn’t hit the panic button if I were the Pelicans. I’d wait for Zion to make a run this season.

Brandon Ingram is finally settling in for the Pelicans. New Orleans has won two straight over the Lakers and Kings and scored at least 131 in both home games.

They’ll be home tonight against a Hawks team that allowed 128 to the Denver Nuggets last time. Atlanta’s been on a long road trip. It continues tonight.

Grab the Pelicans at -1.5 at home.

Bet: Pelicans -1.5 (-110)
