Pick 'n' roll: Tuesday's best NBA bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sacramento Kings at Memphis Grizzlies (-8.5, N/A)

The NBA season is young, but the Sacramento Kings have already suffered great ups and downs.

The Kings rebounded from a New Year’s Eve loss to the Knicks with a 96-80 victory over the Hornets Sunday. However, Sacramento did so without second-year forward DeMarcus Cousins, who didn’t travel with the team after demanding a trade. The status for Cousins, who is averaging 13 points and 11 rebounds, is unknown for Tuesday’s game in Memphis.

Sacramento was able to get by with a gaping hole in its frontcourt Sunday. However, the Kings were terribly undersized with 6-foot-6 Chuck Hayes starting at center and reserve forward J.J. Hickson jumping into the starting lineup. That lack of length hurt Sacramento under the basket as it was outrebounded 60-41.

The Kings also struggled to defend the Hornets forwards, who combined to score 56 points. This situation with Cousins isn't doing anything for team morale and they're going to have a tough time against a Grizzlies club that is riding a 25-10 run against the spread at home.

Pick: Grizzlies


Houston Rockets at Los Angeles Lakers (-7.5, 192)

By now, everybody knows Kobe Bryant is going to play the game the way he wants to play it. Maybe he take too many shots, but that's just how it is.

After Sunday's 99-90 loss to Denver, there were more questions about Bryant's shot selection after he hit just six of his 28 attempts from the floor. One of those makes made him the youngest player ever to score 28,000 and he's still playing with an injured wrist.

"No, no, no, no, no. Kobe can make shots. That's what he's done his whole career," Brown told reporters. "He's got a (right index) finger that he kind of went through the same thing with and he made shots against us (when Brown was coaching Cleveland) with that finger and he's going to make shots for us. The one thing I don't want to do is to tell him to stop shooting because he's going to work his way through it, just like he did with his finger."

Bryant and the Lakers bounce back Tuesday.

Pick: Lakers
