We are entering the final stretch of the NBA regular season. March begins with a massive 11-game slate, featuring a couple of tasty match-ups in both conferences. We’ll have a trio of TV games, starting at 1 pm ET between the Spurs and Knicks on ABC. The Timberwolves and Nuggets clash at 9.30 pm ET on ABC, with the Thunder and Mavericks closing things out at 8 pm ET on NBC.
We’ll have in-depth NBA Picks for every single matchup on Sunday, be sure to check those out. I’ve also prepared my own NBA best bets for all the games taking place, odds are courtesy of FanDuel. Let’s get into my picks now!
Spurs vs Knicks Best Bet: De’Aaron Fox 2+ Made Threes (-118)
Fox played a huge roll in the Spurs going unbeaten in February, I’m looking at him to have an impact in Sunday’s game vs the Kings at the Garden. He’s connected on a pair of threes in 13 of 20 games, this season he’s at a 63% success rate clearing this line. New York allows the 10th most threes to opposing point guards.
Bucks vs Bulls Best Bet: Bucks -3.5 (-110)
It’s not often you’ll get the Bucks as favorites going into a game without Giannis, but that’s the case on Sunday vs the Chicago Bulls. Milwaukee is 5-1 ATS/SU in 6 meetings and they’ve won 8 of 11 entering this game. The Bulls have lost 11 in a row and all 3 meetings have gone the Bucks’ way. Expect Milwaukee to sweep here.
Timberwolves vs Nuggets Best Bet: Nuggets -2.5 (-114)
After a tight OT loss to OKC the other day, the Nuggets need to respond and there’s no better opponent to do so against than the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ant Man and co. have caused the Joker all kinds of issues over the years, but a signature win for Denver would do wonders for their confidence given they’re still not at full strength here. Minnesota is only 1-4 ATS in 5 road games.

Cavaliers vs Nets Best Bet: Jaylon Tyson Over 4.5 Rebounds (-130)
I was a little hesitant to trust the Cavs to win by 12+ here, given Mitchell and Harden could once again not play. Instead, I’m going for Jaylon Tyson to clear his rebounding line. He’s done it 13 times in 20 games (65%), the Nets give up the 4th most rebounds to opposing Shooting Guards this season.
Grizzlies vs Pacers Best Bet: Over 238.5 Points (-106)
No pressure whatsoever on either side here, so don’t expect much effort on defense. The last 10 meetings are averaging 235.7 points per game, I can see the two teams pushing it to 240+. The over has cashed in 9 of 12 for Memphis and in 6 of 7 for Indiana.

Trail Blazers vs Hawks Best Bet: Hawks -5.5 (-115)
Atlanta is looking to get revenge for a 16-point defeat in the first meeting against the Trail Blazers. They’re the more in-form team here, with 3 wins in a row. Portland just got destroyed by the Charlotte Hornets 109-93 yesterday, so they’ll be playing on a 2nd night of a back-to-back here as well. Take Atlanta.
Pistons vs Magic Best Bet: Tobias Harris Over 5.5 Rebounds (-114)
The veteran has played really well on the defensive end since the All-Star break. He has now cleared this line 4 times in 5 games, I like his chances of adding to that run against an Orlando Magic team that ranks 2nd for rebounds allowed to opposing Small Forwards.

76ers vs Celtics Best Bet: 76ers +9 (-110)
The Sixers have won 3 games in a row and also lead the regular season series 2-1. Joel Embiid not playing has made the oddsmakers put a very tempting spread on the road team here, I feel like the Sixers will give Boston a run for its money on Sunday.

Thunder vs Mavericks Best Bet: Mavericks +15.5 (-110)
Despite all the injury issues they’re facing, the Mavericks have made life difficult for opposing teams when playing at the American Airlines Center. They lost to OKC by just 7 points the last time they played them there, for the season the Mavs are 16-16 ATS at home. I have them keeping this one somewhat close.

Pelicans vs Clippers Best Bet: Clippers -8.5 (-110)
Pelicans playing on a 2nd night of a back-to-back without Trey Murphy III and Zion Williamson. Kawhi and co. are looking to respond following 3 straight close defeats, they’ve covered in 5 straight games vs Western Conference opponents.
Kings vs Lakers Best Bet: Luke Kennard Over 7.5 Points (-132)
Kennard has been a very consistent bet lately, clearing this line 9 times in 10 games. He’s expected to do it once again on Sunday vs the tanking Kings. Sacramento allows the 3rd most points this season as a team and ranks 8th for points allowed to opposing SGs.
