NBA Tips, Tuesday January 23.

DALLAS MAVERICKS VS BOSTON CELTICS
Mavs (+3.5) $1.90

The Mavs and the Celtics meet for the first time this season as Kyrie welcomes his former side to Dallas.

Despite leading the comp and dominating at home, the Celtics have looked vulnerable on their travels, with a 13-9 road record, 3-3 across their last 6.

Meanwhile, Dallas are also a modest 13-9 at home this season, 5-2 across their last 7.

Dallas have been burdened by injury throughout the first half of the season, but both Kyrie and Doncic are fighting fit at the moment and they’d fancy themselves agains any outfit at home.

I’m backing Dallas to cover as underdogs at home with Boston playing the 2nd of back-to-back road fixtures.

SACRAMENTO KINGS VS ATLANTA HAWKS
Sacramento Kings (-7.5) $1.90

The Kings enter this game off the back of a horror run of fixtures which included road defeats to Philly, Milwaukee and Phoenix.

They’ll take on a Hawks side who they’ve already bettered on the road this season.

The Hawks are missing a host of their players, including Trae Young and De’Andre Hunter.

I have the Kings bouncing back from a tough run, running through the Hawks with ease.
