Three key NBA matchups are on deck for January 20, 2022, including two nationally televised games on TNT. Here's your complete betting guide for tonight's action:

Pelicans @ Knicks (7:30 PM ET)

  • Spread: Knicks -4
  • Total: 209.5
  • Best bet: Take NYK to win and the under
  • Key factor: MSG home court advantage despite Knicks' injury struggles

Suns @ Mavericks (7:30 PM ET, TNT)

  • Spread: Suns -3
  • Total: 216.5
  • Best bet: Suns to win and cover
  • Key factor: Phoenix's league-best 34-9 record and 8-2 in last 10 games

Pacers @ Warriors (10:00 PM ET, TNT)

  • Spread: Warriors -11.5
  • Total: 217.5
  • Best bet: Warriors to win, Pacers to cover, over on points
  • Key factor: Warriors' strong offense led by Steph Curry should push scoring over 217.5

Warriors currently sit 2.5 games behind the Western Conference-leading Suns, making both TNT games particularly meaningful in the playoff race. While the spreads suggest clear favorites, injury situations and home court advantages could create betting value on the underdogs against the spread.
