Race to 10 bets (first team to score 10 points) are a fun and quick way to place bets for those who aren't exactly interested in waiting until the final buzzer sounds for potential gains or losses.
Here's a look at three Race to 10 bets you need to consider for the NBA's slate of games on Tuesday, January 30, 2024:
*Race to 10 records accurate as of Jan. 29:
Philadelphia 76ers Vs. Golden State Warriors
The Game: Philadelphia 76ers vs. Golden State Warriors, 10 p.m. ET
| Team | Odds | Record |
|---|---|---|
| Philadelphia 76ers | -113 | 22-22 |
| Golden State Warriors | -113 | 16-27 |
Pick: Philadelphia 76ers, -113
The Golden State Warriors haven't won a Race to 10 in their last four games, with only the Portland Trail Blazers having fewer wins on that front across the entire NBA.
Joel Embiid should be back in the lineup for the Philadelphia 76ers, which will only make life more difficult for Golden State.
Los Angeles Lakers Vs. Atlanta Hawks
The Game: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Atlanta Hawks, 7:30 p.m. ET
| Team | Odds | Record |
|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles Lakers | +102 | 25-22 |
| Atlanta Hawks | -130 | 19-27 |
Pick: Atlanta Hawks, -130
The Los Angeles Lakers got off to a poor start on Monday in an eventual loss to the Houston Rockets, and playing on the second night of a back-to-back slate won't help matters either.
Atlanta has Trae Young back in the fold after he was in the league's concussion protocol, and with the home crowd behind them, will reach the 10-point mark first in this matchup.
Utah Jazz Vs. New York Knicks
The Game: Utah Jazz vs. New York Knicks, 7:30 p.m. ET
| Team | Odds | Record |
|---|---|---|
| Utah Jazz | +102 | 19-28 |
| New York Knicks | -130 | 24-22 |
Pick: Utah Jazz, +102
The lone upset pick of the day won't signal who will ultimately win the game in the end, though.
The Utah Jazz have come back down to Earth over the past few weeks, but will feed Lauri Markkanen early at Madison Square Garden and beat the New York Knicks to 10 points.
