This season, I\u2019m up just over 3.5 units, but with the playoffs approaching, there\u2019s still a lot of work to be done to secure a season in the green.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a breakdown of each bet and the latest odds on Tuesday, April 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Golden State lost by one point, but Curry didn\u2019t seem to miss a beat on the offensive end.<\/p>\n Now, he takes on a Sacramento Kings team that is 28th in the NBA in defensive rating and 29th in opponent 3-point percentage this season. Curry has torched the Kings in his lone meeting with them this season, scoring 27 points and knocking down six 3-pointers.\u00a0<\/p>\n Even though he\u2019s on a minutes restriction, Curry is clearly the No. 1 option for Golden State when he\u2019s on the floor. I wouldn’t be shocked if he pushes 30 points again, especially if he takes over 20 shots.\u00a0<\/p>\n Curry is averaging 27.3 points per game this season while shooting 46.9 percent from the field and 39.3 percent from beyond the arc.\u00a0<\/p>\n Boston Celtics First Half -2.5 (-110) vs. Charlotte Hornets<\/p>\n The Boston Celtics have won three games in a row, including a double-digit win over the Charlotte Hornets in their last meeting.<\/p>\n The C\u2019s are 4.5-point favorites in Tuesday\u2019s game, but I\u2019m simply backing Boston in the first half, where it has been one of the best squads in the NBA.<\/p>\n This season, Boston is 49-28-1 against the spread in the first half of games, and a bettor that took that play every game would be up 16.55 units in the 2025-26 season. The Hornets have been solid in the first half as well (44-35 ATS), but they\u2019re just 18-21 against the number when on the road.<\/p>\n Both of these teams have played great basketball since the All-Star break, but with Jayson Tatum back in the fold, I think Boston is clearly the better team. Rather than risk a two-possession spread for the full game, I\u2019ll trust this C\u2019s trend to keep on rolling on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n Houston Rockets +1.5 (-115) vs. Phoenix Suns<\/p>\n Houston has won six games in a row and is making a serious push for the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference, yet it is a road underdog against the play-in tournament bound Phoenix Suns on Tuesday.<\/p>\n The Suns are just 4-6 in their last 10 games, and they\u2019ve posted a net rating of +3.9 (13th in the NBA) during that stretch. Meanwhile, the Rockets are fourth in the league in net rating (+12.0) during their last 10 games, and they have a clean injury report with only Fred VanVleet and Steven Adams (both out for the season) listed.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Suns have defied expectations this season, posting an above .500 record while looking like a legit playoff contender. However, they are eight games under .500 against teams that are .500 or better, including an 0-3 mark against Houston.<\/p>\n The Rockets have wins by 22, 19 and three points against Phoenix, and I don\u2019t want to fade this Houston team during a huge winning streak. I think this is the best upset pick on the board on Tuesday, but I\u2019ll take the 1.5-point cushion just to be safe. <\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n Claim the latest\u00a0DraftKings promo code<\/a>\u00a0offer today.
