The NBA slate for Tuesday, February 10, 2026, serves up high-stakes opportunities for the DraftKings prediction market. We are officially in the post-trade deadline era, and with the All-Star break just days away, rosters are in flux.

Tonight’s headline matchup features a powerhouse New York Knicks squad hosting an Indiana Pacers team that is caught between eras, while Western Conference contenders like the Spurs and Rockets look to solidify their playoff positioning.

Top DraftKings Prediction Market NBA Picks for Today

New York Knicks to Win (vs. Indiana Pacers)

The Knicks (34-19) are currently one of the most formidable teams in the Eastern Conference, led by the elite duo of Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns. Brunson’s playmaking and Towns’ ability to stretch the floor present a nightmare matchup for an Indiana Pacers squad that is currently short-handed in the frontcourt. While Indiana made a splash at the deadline by acquiring Ivica Zubac, he is not expected to join the active roster until after the All-Star break. Without a true rim protector to combat Towns, the Knicks are a high-probability "Yes" to win straight up at Madison Square Garden.

 

 

 

Best Value Plays on the DraftKings Prediction Market Board

Houston Rockets to Win (vs. LA Clippers)

The Rockets (32-19) have climbed to the #4 seed in the West, built on a top-five defensive rating and elite rebounding. They face a Clippers team (25-27) that has struggled with depth and consistency. Given Houston's dominance at home (17-6) and their +5.1 scoring differential, the market price for a Rockets victory offers significant value tonight.

San Antonio Spurs – Over 115.5 Team Points

The Spurs (36-16) currently own the second-best offense in the league, averaging 117.6 PPG. Tonight they face a Lakers squad that has seen high-scoring affairs recently. With Victor Wembanyama drawing constant double-teams and opening up open looks for San Antonio's shooters, the Spurs are well-positioned to hit the "Over" on their team total.

San Antonio Spurs to Win (vs. LA Lakers)

The Spurs enter tonight on a four-game winning streak and boast a superior Net Rating (+5.4) compared to the Lakers. While the Lakers (32-20) are always a threat on their home floor, the Spurs’ continuity and the mismatch of Wembanyama in the paint make them the most reliable play in the Western Conference matchups tonight.

 

 

 

Riskier Picks with High Upside Tonight

Dallas Mavericks (vs. Phoenix Suns)

The Mavericks (19-33) are heavy underdogs, but they possess the ultimate wild card in rookie Cooper Flagg. Following his historic 49-point outburst earlier this season, Flagg has shown he can single-handedly keep Dallas competitive against elite teams. If you’re looking for a high-upside "upset" prediction, betting on a Flagg-led Mavs victory at home is the way to go.

How to approach DraftKings Prediction Markets for NBA Slates

  • Mind the Gap: In the NBA, the period between the trade deadline and the All-Star break is notorious for "availability gaps." As seen with Zubac, players often don't suit up for their new teams immediately. Always verify active rosters before placing predictions.
  • Target Star Mismatches: The Mavericks' interior defense is vulnerable. This directly benefits high-volume scorers like Devin Booker or rim-runners on opposing teams.
  • Home Court at the Garden: The Knicks play a different brand of basketball at home. Their defensive intensity at Madison Square Garden often leads to "Under" outcomes for visitors.
