If you enjoy betting on basketball games, today is your lucky day.

Both the NBA and NCAA men’s basketball schedules are packed with exciting matchups, offering numerous betting opportunities.

Here are our top betting picks for Tuesday, Jan. 14.

Best Bets Jan 14: NCAAM

Mississippi State vs. Auburn

Although Auburn holds the top spot in the rankings, Mississippi State is a formidable opponent with a 14-2 record and a strong offense. With Auburn missing key player Johni Broome, it could be a close game, making the +7.5 points favorable for Mississippi State.

Expect a tight, lower-scoring match due to both teams’ solid defenses. Consider taking the UNDER 152.5 as an additional bet.

Texas A&M vs. Kentucky

In this rematch, Texas A&M, despite their neutral court victory, faces a tough challenge playing on Kentucky’s home court. With their strong offense and rebounding capabilities, Texas A&M is favored to cover the spread of +5.5 against Kentucky.

A safer bet would be on Texas A&M’s Moneyline at +205.

Best Bets Jan. 14: NBA

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Philadelphia 76ers

With the absence of Joel Embiid, Philadelphia faces a tough challenge against Oklahoma City. The Thunder are expected to dominate the struggling 76ers and cover the -11.5 spread.

Phoenix Suns vs. Atlanta Hawks

In their previous encounter, the Suns emerged victorious over the Hawks, and they are in better form heading into this game. With key injuries on the Hawks’ side, the Suns are favored to cover the -3.5 spread.

• Kevin Durant is expected to score over 27.5 points at -113.

Considering the potential defensive gaps in the Hawks’ lineup, Durant is likely to have a breakout game, making the OVER a favorable bet.
