Tuesday NBA Odds: Trio of Games on slate

It’s one of the quieter Tuesdays of the 2018-19 NBA season this week with just three games on the schedule – it’s sandwiched between very busy nights Monday and Wednesday.

The schedule opens with a rather meaningless game between the Orlando Magic and Knicks in New York as both teams are likely headed for the draft lottery again. This could be the worst Knicks team ever and is on pace to be, but that’s fine it just means a potentially better chance of landing the No. 1 pick in the 2019 draft and taking Duke’s Zion Williamson.

Orlando is still in the playoff hunt in the East, only because the bottom of the conference is terrible, but it would be a moderate upset should the Magic make it for the first time since the 2011-12 season.
