Fantasy basketball picks and betting tips for Tuesday's NBA slate - ESPN

Tuesday night wraps up group play in the Emirates NBA Cup and then it's onto the single-elimination round of the In-Season Tournament. Three of the six group winners are already set, but there's still plenty of uncertainty heading into the final night of group play.

It's an 11-game slate, but the matchup I'm most excited about is the Milwaukee Bucks hitting the road to face the Detroit Pistons.

The Bucks are on fire, winning six straight after a rough start. Both teams are 3-0 in group play, meaning the winner takes East Group B and the loser will have to fight for a wild-card spot to advance to the knockout stage.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been playing at an MVP level lately, but his Bucks are just 2-6 on the road this season.

There are two bets I really like in this game, and I'll also break down some others to keep an eye on and offer fantasy streamers for Tuesday.
