Denver heads into Phoenix on Tuesday night for an 11:00 PM ET tip at PHX Arena in a game that matters a lot more for the Nuggets than it does for the Suns. The Nuggets are 44-28 and stuck in that crowded fight for a top-four seed in the West, while Phoenix is 40-32 and trying to hold its footing in the play-in range. NBC, Peacock, and ALT carry the broadcast, and the early market has Denver installed as the road favorite in a game with a fairly healthy total. Denver at least looks steadier right now. The Nuggets have won five of seven and just handled Portland behind another Nikola Jokic triple-double, while Phoenix snapped a five-game slide by

The New Jersey Devils head to American Airlines Center on Tuesday night for an 8:00 PM matchup with the Dallas Stars, and this one sets up as a tough road spot for a team still trying to stay relevant in the playoff race. New Jersey is 35-32-2 and sits 13th in the Eastern Conference, while Dallas comes in at 43-17-11 and holding second place in both the West and the Central.

Los Angeles comes in at 28-26-17 and sits just outside the playoff picture in the West, while Calgary is 29-34-7 and deeper in the hole, but playing a little better at home lately. ESPN+ has the broadcast, and the betting market has the Kings installed as the road favorite. There is some tension here. Los Angeles has dropped three straight and just lost 4-3 to Utah, so the form is not clean. Calgary, on the other hand, just beat Tampa

The Edmonton Oilers head to Delta Center on Tuesday night for a 9:30 PM start, trying to stop a slide at exactly the wrong time. Edmonton comes into Salt Lake City at 34-28-9 and still sitting third in the Pacific, but the margin is getting thin after back-to-back losses. Utah is in a slightly better spot at 37-28-6, holding the first wild-card position in the West and playing with a little more urgency, and maybe a little more confidence too, after winning three of its last four. This game matters on both sides. The Oilers still have enough top-end skill to beat almost anyone, but the absence of Leon Draisaitl changes the math in a real way, especially for a
