Top NBA Predictions for January 20: Placing Bets on Today's Games

Discover the best bets and predictions for the NBA action set for January 20, 2026, including insights from a predictive model based on thousands of simulations.

The NBA schedule for Tuesday includes a total of seven games, featuring closely matched teams with tight spreads. Six out of the seven games show a line under five points, according to the latest odds. Key matchups include the 76ers facing the Suns (+1.5), the Rockets against the Spurs (+4.5), and the Lakers going up against the Nuggets (+2.5). The Los Angeles Clippers are currently on a six-game winning streak, yet find themselves 3.5-point underdogs as they visit the Chicago Bulls.

Kawhi Leonard, recovering from a knee injury, significantly impacts this point spread, making the Bulls a tempting choice for bettors. Meanwhile, Josh Giddey is questionable due to a hamstring injury after being sidelined for three weeks, which could influence player performance props.

The predictive model from SportsLine has been tested through 10,000 simulations, yielding substantial returns for players who follow its recommendations. On January 20th, it confidently backs the Timberwolves (-12.5) to cover their game against the Jazz, predicting they will outperform their average significantly.

Explore various betting strategies and play your picks using the latest NBA odds. New users can also take advantage of current sportsbook promotions, including DraftKings and FanDuel, to maximize their potential returns.
