The NBA trade deadline reshaped several rosters on the fly, but a team that made a big swing in the offseason is one of the best-positioned squads heading into the NBA All-Star break. The New York Knicks acquired Karl-Anthony Towns in a swap for Julius Randle before the season opened, and now New York sits third in the East with a 34-18 record. New York takes on the Pacers in a potential NBA playoff preview on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. ET as part of a four-game Tuesday NBA schedule. Popular NBA player props in that matchup include points for Towns (over/under 24.5), points for Jalen Brunson (over/under 28.5), assists for Tyrese Haliburton (over/under 8.5) and rebounds for Pascal Siakam (7.5). In the other three matchups, the latest NBA odds via SportsLine consensus list the 76ers at -9 vs. the Raptors, the Pistons -4.5 vs. the Bulls and Grizzlies -3.5 vs. the Suns.

The Bulls remain in at least the play-in conversation as the No. 10 seed in the East, though they’re largely looking to the future after dealing Zach LaVine before the deadline. Detroit is sixth in the East and this looks like the year it is ready to make a playoff run after years of rebuilding. The Pistons, who have won four of their last six overall, have been tough on the road, going 16-9-1 ATS this season 

The model’s top-rated prop: Jalen Duren Under 11.5 rebounds (-108). SportsLine’s model says one side of the spread is the better value. See which side to back here.

The Suns have lost four of their last five, while the Grizzlies are looking to bounce back from a loss against the Thunder on Saturday that halted a four-game winning streak. 

The model’s top-rated prop: Jalen Wells Over 7.5 points (-104). Jason La Canfora, who is 61-42 on NBA ATS picks, has revealed a spread picks. See which side to back here.
