Chicago Bulls vs. Milwaukee Bucks

When: Tuesday, March 22nd, 2022. 8:00 pm ET
Where: Fiserv Forum, Milwaukee, WI
TV: NBA TV
Radio: 670 The Score (Bulls) // SportsRadio 1250 WSSP AM (Bucks)
Live Stream: NBA League Pass
NBA Betting Odds: TBA

The Bulls are now 5.5 games behind the Miami Heat for the Eastern Conference’s best record. Chicago is a borderline 5-seed to 7-seed, which means every game is important to win. But wanting to win and executing well enough to do so are two different things. The Bucks have gone 6-2 ATS in their last 8. Milwaukee appears to be gearing up for another deep playoff run. Giannis and his teammates win and cover.

NBA Betting Pick: Bulls

Brooklyn Nets vs. Memphis Grizzlies

When: Wednesday, March 23rd, 2022. 8:00 pm ET
Where: Barclays Center, Brooklyn, NY
TV: NBA TV
Radio: WFAN 101.9 (Nets) // ESPN 92.9 FM (Grizzlies)
Live Stream: NBA League Pass
NBA Betting Odds: TBA

Brooklyn is always tough on the road because Kyrie Irving gets to play in away games. Irving should step onto the court on Wednesday. But although Kyrie gives the Nets a boost, Memphis is an excellent 46-26 ATS. The Grizzlies went 7-3 SU from Feb. 28 to March 20. Ja Morant will counter anything Kyrie posts. The home team to win and cover is the play.

NBA Betting Pick: Grizzlies

Phoenix Suns vs. Denver Nuggets

When: Thursday, March 24th, 2022. 9:00 pm ET
Where: Ball Arena Denver, CO
TV: NBA TV
Radio: Phoenix Metro 98.7 FM (Suns) // Altitude Sports Radio 92.5 FM (Nuggets)
Live Stream: NBA League Pass
NBA Betting Odds: TBA

Nikola Jokic is great. But he’s not great enough for the Nuggets to get past the Suns, or to even cover versus Monty Williams’ bunch. The Suns are 58-14, have gone 6-2 ATS in their last 8 heading into the week, and beat the Nuggets 126-97 in the last head-to-head. Devin Booker leads the Suns to another win SU and ATS.

NBA Betting Pick: Suns

Golden State Warriors vs. Atlanta Hawks

When: Friday, March 25th, 2022. 7:30 pm ET
Where: State Farm Arena, Atlanta, GA
TV: NBA TV
Radio: 95.7 The Game FM (Warriors) // 92.9 The Game WZGC FM (Hawks)
Live Stream: NBA League Pass
NBA Betting Odds: TBA

Before this week, the Warriors didn’t play well in their last couple of games. On March 16, Boston beat Golden State 110-88. Then on March 20, San Antonio blasted Golden State 110-108. The Warriors should turn their form around this week, though. In the last head-to-head, Golden State dusted the ATL 127-113. Although the venue changes, the Warriors are just better than the Hawks. GS wins and covers.

NBA Betting Pick: Warriors

Brooklyn Nets vs. Miami Heat

When: Saturday, March 26th, 2022. 8:00 pm ET
Where: FTX Arena, Miami, FL
TV: NBA TV
Radio: WFAN 101.9 (Nets) // 790 AM The Ticket (Suns)
Live Stream: NBA League Pass
NBA Betting Odds: TBA

After battling the Grizzlies earlier in the week, the Nets must travel to Miami to take on Jimmy Butler and the Eastern Conference leading Heat. From March 9 through March 14, the Heat went 1-4 ATS. But Miami won 3-of-5 straight up. The Heat won the last head-to-head 113-107, but Kyrie didn’t play. Neither did Butler, though. Miami has the edge because this happens on their court.

NBA Betting Pick: Heat

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Phoenix Suns

When: Sunday, March 6th, 2022. 9:00 pm ET
Where: Footprint Center, Phoenix, AZ
TV: NBA TV
Radio: 97.5 The Fanatic (76ers) // Phoenix Metro 98.7 FM (Suns)
Live Stream: NBA League Pass
NBA Betting Odds: TBA

Heading into the week, the Sixers are 3.5 games behind the Heat for the conference’s best record. Philadelphia is tied with the Celtics for the 4-seed. Unloading Ben Simmons for a player like James Harden was a great move, but, so far, it hasn’t translated to more points on the board. Philadelphia averages 108.4 points per, ranking twenty-second in the league. The 76ers give up 106.5 each game. The difference doesn’t mean much. There’s a chance Phoenix blows out Philadelphia, which means the Suns should win and cover the spread.

NBA Betting Pick: Suns
