Top NBA Plays Tuesday November 2nd| Battered Bucks

5 games are on tap for the Tuesday NBA DFS slate one of which features the Bucks visiting the Pistons. Milwaukee is in the midst of a 3-game slide and an injury list that already includes Jrue Holiday, Brook Lopez, and Donte DiVincenzo being out gets bigger as Khris Middleton has had to enter health and safety protocols.

The Bucks are by no means the only team feeling a little worse for wear heading into tonight's games and the GTDs are out in full force as well. Let's see how that shakes tonight's card out.

Tonight's Key NBA Matchups

Bucks (-4) @ Pistons, O/U 210.5 7:00 PM ET

One would think these would be ceiling games for Giannis Antetokounmpo ($11.6k) but he's only hit for 47 and 51 fp the last two.

Heat (-2) @ Mavericks, O/U 210 7:30 PM ET

Lowest betting total of the night (210) and it might be a game to fade Dallas on considering the Heat are allowing just 97 ppg on the season. Bam Adebayo (knee) is questionable for Miami.

Kings @ Jazz (-9) , O/U 222 9:00 PM ET

The betting total seems kind of high for a Utah defense that is #2 in efficiency and a Kings squad that has allowed 109 points or less in each contest during their three game road trip.

Pelicans @ Suns (-11.5) , O/U 215 10:00 PM ET

This might not be the blowout game it looks like on paper. Pelicans coach Willie Green was an assistant coach with Phoenix during last year's NBA Finals run and they're not going to run it up on him especially with Brandon Ingram (hip) and Devonte Graham (groin) possible out of the New Orleans lineup.

Rockets @ Lakers (-10), O/U 217 10:30 PM ET

A rematch of Saturday night's game that the Lakers won 95-85. L.A was up 28 points at one span in that game so the blowout potential is definitely in play.
