It's just a 3-game slate for Tuesday NBA DFS, and San Antonio is the only team playing on the back to back. In fact, none of the other five teams even played on Sunday so most of these players are very well rested.

The extra time off will likely help Lebron James, Anthony Davis, Kristaps Porzingis be a go for sure, and it may even allow Jaylen Brown and Luka Doncic to return to their respective lineups after sitting on Saturday.

Tonight's Key NBA Matchups

Nets (-4) @ Mavericks, O/U 218.5 7:30 ET

Dallas is expected to get Kristaps Porzingis (knee) back tonight but the status of Luka Doncic (ankle) is a little more in question. Both teams have been off since Saturday so they do have a little extra rest.

Knicks (-2.5) @ Spurs, O/U 211 8:30 ET

San Antonio is in leg two of a back-to-back after a hard fought 108-104 loss in Phoenix last night to snap a three-game win streak. Dejounte Murray had a solid 17/6/14 night (50fp) but also led the Spurs with 34 minutes.

Celtics @ Lakers (-2.5), O/U 220 10:00 ET

L.A has been off since Friday so they should be well rested heading into tonight's meeting with Boston. The Celtics should be getting Jaylen Brown back after he rested on Saturday. Boston won this matchup 130-108 at the end of November behind 37 points (65fp) from Jayson Tatum.
