Memphis Grizzlies vs. Indiana Pacers

When: Tuesday, March 15th, 2022. 7:00 pm ET
Where: Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, IN
TV: NBA TV
Radio: 92.9 FM ESPN (Grizzlies) // The Fan 107.5 FM (Pacers)
Live Stream: NBA League Pass
NBA Betting Odds: TBA

Ja Morant leads one of the Western Conference’s best squads into Indiana to take on the Pacers. Morant and the Grizzlies have a terrific 47-22 record. But although the SU record is fantastic, Memphis has covered in just 1-of-4 heading into the week. The Pacers have covered in 2 straight. So Indiana is worth a shot if the spread is right.

NBA Betting Pick: Pacers

Dallas Mavericks vs. Brooklyn Nets

When: Wednesday, March 16th, 2022. 8:00 pm ET
Where: Barclays Center, Brooklyn, NY
TV: ESPN
Radio: 97.1 The Eagle KEGL (Mavericks) // WFAN 101.9 (Nets)
Live Stream: NBA League Pass
NBA Betting Odds: TBA

Mavs versus Nets should be one of the most competitive games of the week. On Sunday, Dallas upset Boston 95-92 as a +6.5 road underdog. The Mavericks have won 8-of-10 straight up. Brooklyn is on a 4-game winning streak. But this happens in New Jersey where COVID protocols remain tight. Since Kyrie probably won’t play, the Mavs are the play SU and ATS.

NBA Betting Pick: Mavericks

Boston Celtics vs. Golden State Warriors

When: Wednesday, March 16th, 2022. 10:00 pm ET
Where: Chase Center, San Francisco, CA
TV: ESPN
Radio: 98.5 The Sports Hub (Celtics)// 95.7 THE GAME (Warriors)
Live Stream: NBA League Pass
NBA Betting Odds: TBA

The Celtics fell versus the Mavericks in a game most expected them to win. That doesn’t mean, though, the Celtics fall to Golden State. Boston’s defense allows 103.9 points per. The Cs allow just 43.1% from the field. The Warriors should have trouble converting threes since Boston allows less than 34% from behind the arc. Celtics win straight up.

NBA Betting Pick: Celtics

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Utah Jazz

When: Friday, March 18th, 2022. 9:00 pm ET
Where: Vivint Arena, Salt Lake City, UT
TV: NBA TV
Radio: KLAC 570 AM (Clippers) // The Sports Zone KZNS-AM 1280 (Jazz)
Live Stream: NBA League Pass
NBA Betting Odds: TBA

Although the Clippers are just 1-2 SU in their last 3 heading into the week, LAC has gone 3-0 against the spread. Los Angeles plays excellent defense and is a really good three-point shooting team. The Jazz rank ninth in three-point percentage allowed. Utah should keep the Clippers from going off from behind the arc. But Utah has covered in just 2-of-10. Back LAC against the spread.

NBA Betting Pick: Clippers

Chicago Bulls vs. Phoenix Suns

When: Sunday, March 13th, 2022. 8:00 pm ET
Where: TD Garden, Boston, MA
TV: ESPN
Radio: 670 The Score (Bulls) // Phoenix Metro 98.7 FM (Suns)
Live Stream: NBA League Pass
NBA Betting Odds: TBA

This is a bad matchup for Chicago. The Bull rank 17 th in points allowed at 110.7, 23 rd in field goal percentage allowed at 46.7% and 26 th in three-point percentage allowed at 36.2% So even though Chicago is one of the best shooting teams in the league, Phoenix should roll to an easy win and cover.

NBA Betting Pick: Suns

Boston Celtics vs. Denver Nuggets

When: Sunday, March 6th, 2022. 9:00 pm ET
Where: Footprint Center, Phoenix, AZ
TV: ESPN
Radio: 98.5 The Sports Hub (Celtics) // Altitude Sports Radio 92.5 FM (Nuggets)
Live Stream: NBA League Pass
NBA Betting Odds: TBA

Heading into the week, Denver has lost 2 straight. Against the spread, the Nuggets went 0-4 last week in a couple of games versus Golden State, a game against Sacramento and a game against Toronto. But in the last head-to-head, the Nuggets hung with the Celtics. Also, Nikola Jokic is playing lights out and as good as the Cs defense is, it will have trouble stopping Nikola at home. Nuggets win and cover.

NBA Betting Pick: Nuggets
