There are five games on the primetime NBA slate. DraftKings players will have a plethora of scorers to choose from. Here are some of the best picks and bargains for Tuesday’s contests.

Tuesday’s NBA slate features five games and all are expected to be high-scoring, with every over/under at 201 or higher. In addition to a night filled with scorers, there are also some fantastic matchups.
James Harden stands alone as the only player that is priced at $10,000 or more from Tuesday’s pool. Only six players are priced higher than the $8,000 range, including Harden. It’s a good night to buy high with some favorable matchups for players, but more on that later.
The Boston Celtics (27-22) kick off Tuesday’s slate with a rivalry game against the New York Knicks (23-27). The two teams have the highest over/under of the night, posted at 207. The two teams have split the season series, which included a 234-point game that the Knicks ended up winning.

Turning the page to the NBA-TV games, the first is an intriguing battle between the defensive-minded Miami Heat (27-21) and the high-octane offensive attack of the Houston Rockets (25-25). The over/under is set at 204 points. Houston is fourth offensively, scoring 105.1 points per game and Miami’s defense is second, allowing 95.6 points per game.
The Heat took the first of two meetings on Nov. 1, 109-89.
The second part of the primetime doubleheader has the Minnesota Timberwolves (14-35) and No. 1 overall pick Karl-Anthony Towns against the Los Angeles Lakers (9-41) and No. 2 overall pick D’Angello Russell. The over/under for the game is set at 202.5. The Wolves have already won the season series after beating the Lakers in the first two of the three-game series.
It appears that they also made a far better selection than the Lakers through the first 50 games. Towns has been called a future Hall of Famer by superstar Kevin Durant, while Russell has been benched multiple times by head coach Byron Scott. Nonetheless, it is an exciting matchup with Towns, Andrew Wiggins, Russell and Julius Randle getting an opportunity to showcase their skills.
