NBA Tips for Tuesday, December 2nd 2025

We have NBA picks and predictions for Tuesday, December 2nd, which features the Rockets vs. Jazz, Hornets vs. Nets, and Suns vs. Lakers.

Our picks include a best bet and NBA same game multi, and we’re looking forward to the NBA action this week.

Rockets vs. Jazz Predictions

—

Best Bet

Rockets –11.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Rockets were our preseason pick to win the NBA title, and they haven’t done much to dent our confidence levels.

Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun are the one-two punch the Rockets had been hoping for, and they combined for 52 points in their last game.

We can’t see a world where the Jazz keep up with the scoring power of the Rockets. The Jazz were beaten 129-101 in their most recent meeting against the Rockets, so expect a similar scoreline on Tuesday.

Same Game Multi

Rockets -11.5, Kevin Durant Over 25.5 Points, Alperen Sengun Over 20.5 Points, Over 232.5 Points @ $9.75

Bet Now

We have Durant and Sengun going for a big total again. Durant is playing at a high level, and although he has the odd poor game, he knuckles down and goes about his business. 25.5 points is a fair line from the sportsbook.

Sengun’s line of 20.5 is worth jumping on. He dropped 27 points in his last game, and he’s ready for another big effort.

The Rockets should score at a good clip, so include over 232.5 points in NBA multi picks.

Hornets vs. Nets Predictions

—

Best Bet

Hornets –4.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Hornets have shown some grit over the last week, including back-to-back wins against the Bulls and Raptors.

There is a lot to like about that form, and the Raptors had been one of the form teams in the Eastern Conference. The 118-111 win came in overtime, and if the Hornets are serious about winning NBA games, they could make the playoffs.

Playing on the road isn’t as easy, but the Nets aren’t tough to beat. We’re backing the Hornets to sting the Nets on the road.

Same Game Multi

Hornets –4.5, LaMelo Ball Over 19.5 Points, Brandon Miller Over 2.5 Assists, Over 227.5 Points @ $8.75

Bet Now

There was pressure on LaMelo Ball to start performing at a higher level, and he responded to the criticism well. We’re happy to include him in our NBA same game multi to have over 19.5 points, which pays a healthy $2.

Brandon Miller over 2.5 assists is also worth including. That’s one of the better-backed NBA prop bets of the game, and he should go over the number.

Our final score prediction has the Hornets winning 119-112, so back the over.

Suns vs. Lakers Predictions

—

Best Bet

Lakers -5.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Lakers have been a money-making machine this season, so we’re sticking with them against the Phoenix Suns.

We expect the Lakers’ winning streak to continue against a team that has always struggled for consistency, and they have lost three of their last four games, which isn’t a good sign for this franchise.

There is more momentum with the Lakers, who are anchored by the scoring of Luka Doncic. He has been on fire, putting up big totals in most games. He had 20 points in the first quarter against the Pelicans on Monday, so he should lead them to another big victory.

—

Same Game Multi

Lakers –5.5, Luka Doncic Over 32.5 Points, Deandre Ayton Over 8.5 Rebounds, Over 235.5 Points @ $8.75

Bet Now

Doncic is a man possessed, and there is no reason to jump off his back. He is playing out of his skin, and his scoring puts him in line to win the MVP. The 32.5-point line is conservative, so we’re including him in our NBA multi picks.

Deandre Ayton could have a big game on the boards. We expect the Suns to miss many shots, and his size is enough to grab the defensive boards.

Over 235.5 goes into NBA multis. The final score is projected to be around 125-113.
