On Dec. 15, in the last head-to-head, the Los Angeles Lakers outlasted the Dallas Mavericks 107-101 in overtime. Heading into this game, it looks like Dallas has the upper hand. Not only was Luka Doncic playing great, but the Mavericks had covered in 7-of-8 heading into their Feb. 27 game versus the Golden State Warriors. Also, the Lakers are 5 games under .500 heading into the week. Dallas is the play SU and ATS.

• TV: NBA TV
• Radio: 790 AM The Ticket (Heat) // SportsRadio 1250 WSSP AM (Bucks)

Before their Feb. 28 games versus Chicago, the Heat were a game ahead of the Bulls. Miami was 4 games ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks. In the last head-to-head, the Heat trounced the Bucks 113-104. It doesn’t look like Milwaukee should bounce back with a win and cover because heading into the week, the Bucks are 1-4 straight up and 0-5 against the spread. Miami should win on the moneyline and ATS.

NBA Betting Pick: Heat

Memphis Grizzlies vs. Boston Celtics

On Feb. 26, Memphis proved they can hang with the best in the East. The Grizzlies beat the Chicago Bulls 116-110. On Thursday, though, Memphis bumps up against one of the hottest teams in the NBA. The Celtics went 9-1 straight up from Feb. 2 through Feb. 26. Boston covered in most of those games, including beating the 76ers 135-87 on Feb. 15. The Celtics should cover.

NBA Betting Pick: Celtics

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Chicago Bulls

• When: Friday, March 4th, 2022. 7:30 pm ET
• Where: United Center, Chicago, IL
• TV: NBA TV
• Radio: SportsRadio 1250 WSSP AM (Bucks) // 670 The Score (Bulls)
• Live Stream: NBA League Pass
• NBA Betting Odds: TBA

The Bucks aren’t playing well. The problem is on the defensive side where Milwaukee is allowing over 116 points per game. But the Bucks have gotten healthier in the past couple of weeks. So they should soon start to step it up. The Bulls must play this one without Lonzo Ball. Expect the Bucks to grab the road win and cover.

NBA Betting Pick: Bucks

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Miami Heat

• When: Saturday, March 5th, 2022. 8:00 pm ET
• Where: FTX Arena, Miami, FL
• TV: NBA TV
• Radio: 97.5 The Fanatic (76ers) // 790 AM The Ticket (Heat)
• Live Stream: NBA League Pass
• NBA Betting Odds: TBA

Since a Feb. 15 loss to Boston, Philly has stepped it up. Joel Embiid and his mates beat Milwaukee 123-120 on Feb. 15. Then on Feb. 25, Philadelphia dusted Minnesota 133-102. Not only that, but the Sixers also beat Miami 109-98 in the last head-to-head. The Sixers look tough for sure. But Miami may not have to cover a huge spread. Who knows? The Heat could go off the underdog. Miami is the play to win and cover.

NBA Betting Pick: Heat

Phoenix Suns vs. Milwaukee Bucks

• When: Sunday, March 6th, 2022. 3:30 pm ET
• Where: Fiserv Forum, Milwaukee, WI
• TV: ABC
• Radio: Phoenix Metro 98.7 FM (Suns) // SportsRadio 1250 WSSP AM (Bucks)
• Live Stream: NBA League Pass
• NBA Betting Odds: TBA

The Suns dominated the Bucks in the last head-to-head. Phoenix blasted Milwaukee 131-107. Phoenix heads into the week after dropping a contest 117-102 to New Orleans on Feb. 25. The Suns have responded big time after losses. So expect Phoenix to pick it up this week, including beating the Bucks straight up and covering the spread in Sunday’s top matchup.

NBA Betting Pick: Suns
