NBA Tips for Wednesday, January 28th 2026

We have NBA picks and predictions for Wednesday, January 28th, which features the Kings vs. Knicks, Pistons vs. Nuggets, and Clippers vs. Jazz.

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

Kings vs. Knicks Predictions

—

Best Bet

Knicks –13.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Knicks are back to their best after back-to-back wins, and they should account for the struggling Kings.

Despite having a decent roster, the Kings continue to struggle after posting a string of losses, and we can’t see their losing run ending on Wednesday.

There is much better value with the Knicks, even at the –13.5 line. We expect them to win comfortably, and the game could be over by halftime.

Same Game Multi

Knicks –13.5, Jalen Brunson Over 27.5 Points, Zach LaVine Under 16.5 Points, Under 231.5 Points @ $9.75

Bet Now

Jalen Brunson is a premier NBA scorer, and he should have no problem scoring points against a poor Kings’ defence. The 27.5-point line is generous from bookmakers, so include him in NBA same game multis.

Zach LaVine hasn’t lived up to expectations this season, which is why his line is only 16.5 points. He could keep missing shots, which has been the theme of their year.

We’re including under 231.5 points. It should be a low-scoring game from the Kings.

Pistons vs. Nuggets Predictions

—

Best Bet

Pistons –6.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

It’s tough to bet against the Nuggets at home, but without Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon, we can’t include him in our NBA picks this week.

We’re backing the Pistons to prevail and cover the –6.5 spread. They have been one of the best teams this season, and we don’t see their winning ways slowing down too much, especially after beating the Kings with ease.

Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren are a great combo, and the Nuggets, without some of their star players, could struggle to keep up offensively.

Same Game Multi

Pistons -6.5, Cade Cunningham Over 24.5 Points, Jamal Murray Over 26.5 Points, Over 219.5 Points @ $11.50

Bet Now

We expect good scoring nights from Cunningham and Jamal Murray. Cunningham scored 29 points against the Kings, and when he’s in a scoring mood, he’s tough to stop, so include him in multis to score over 24.5 points.

Murray will need to be the primary scorer for the Nuggets, as he often is when Jokic isn’t playing. If the Nuggets want to keep it close, Murray needs to score, and he should have over 26.5 points.

Bookmakers expect a low-scoring contest, but our final score prediction has the Pistons winning 114-95, so include the over.

Clippers vs. Jazz Predictions

—

Best Bet

Clippers –8.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Clippers are back to their winning ways after posting four wins from their last five games, and the Jazz are in their sights.

They come off wins over the Lakers and Nets, with the win over the Lakers being a good form guide following the Lakers win over Chicago on Wednesday.

There is a class advantage to the Clippers, despite their record, and they’re starting to put everything together. Conversely, the Jazz are struggling with four losses from their last five games, which doesn’t inspire us.

Same Game Multi

Clippers –8.5, Kawhi Leonard Over 26.5 Points, Lauri Markkanen Over 22.5 Points, Over 232.5 Points @ $11.50

Bet Now

Kawhi Leonard is still one of the premier scorers in the NBA, and he’s an unselfish player. We have him scoring over 26.5 points against a Jazz defence that is non-existent at times.

Lauri Markkanen is a sharpshooter for the Jazz, and he could continue his scoring ways. He has recent totals of 35, 22, 29, 33, and 28, so we’re surprised by the 22.5-point line.

Over 232.5 points is worth including in NBA multi picks. They love getting up and down the floor, so expect plenty of buckets.
