The NBA brings a 7-game slate for us on Tuesday night. There is a TNT double header that will start off with the Boston Celtics taking a trip to South Beach to take on the Miami Heat. After a shock loss to the Orlando Magic last night, the Eastern Conference leaders will be keen to get back to winning ways. Then to close out the night, we get to witness the battle for Los Angeles, with the Clippers taking on the Lakers. That game should provide fireworks as always.

Nikola Vucevic under 12.5 rebounds (-128)
When the Chicago Bulls took on the Indiana Pacers earlier in the season, Vucevic managed to record just 7 rebounds. The Pacers are not a great matchup for the center from Montenegro. Myles Turner has the ability to knock down 3-pointers which could lead to Vucevic being pulled away from the paint. If the Pacers center takes the battle inside, the sheer volume of 3-pointers that his team shoots would lead to many long rebounds. The guards and forwards would be better placed to track them down.
The Pacers are 6th in 3-point attempts this season. With Turner also being one of the leagues best shot blockers, Vucevic will be asked to space the floor too. That should limit what he can do on the offensive glass here. He could have issues hitting double digit rebounds as a result.

Bismack Biyombo over 15.5 points + rebounds (-113)
With Deandre Ayton out for the Phoenix Suns, Bismack Biyombo will be stepping into the starting lineup. He will be going up against the Charlotte Hornets, the team which drafted him. It should prove to be a great matchup for him rebounding wise, considering the limited shooting range of Mason Plumlee. It should allow Biyombo to maintain great rebounding position throughout the night. With Plumlee also having just 2 total blocks over his last 9 games, the opportunity to finish chances at the rim should be there for him too. Especially when it will be Chris Paul delivering him the ball in pick-and-rolls. He recently put up a combined 28 points and rebounds against the Pacers. I expect another strong showing from him here.

Norman Powell over 2.5 made threes (+160)
With both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George slated to take to the floor tonight, Normal Powell could be relegated to an off-the-ball role. It is one he could absolutely thrive in tonight. In the month of January, he is making 49.2% of his 3-point attempts. That level of efficiency has allowed him to hit the over on this line in 6 of his last 9 games. With the defensive attention the two Clippers superstars are going to get tonight, look for Powell to continue getting clean looks against this Lakers team. With Anthony Davis remaining out, the Lakers may need to collapse the paint in order to protect it. Look for Powell to capitalize on the perimeter.
