Best NBA Bets, Expert Picks & Predictions | March 29
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Indiana Pacers
The Milwaukee Bucks are coming off a rest for their two superstars, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holliday, but they will now face the Indiana Pacers, who are without Tyrese Haliburton and possibly Myles Turner. The spread of 11.5 on the road seems warranted, although the Bucks may be the lean. However, there is nothing much to bet on in this game except a small play on the under of 236.5. With T.J. McConnell and Andrew Nembhard replacing Haliburton, the under may be a good bet, but there are no exciting bets until some good props emerge.
Best NBA Bet: Total UNDER 236.5 (LEAN)
Houston Rockets vs. Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets will be hosting the Houston Rockets, who are struggling this season. The Nets have a massive home bump and a significant spread of -12. Brooklyn has had some interesting props this season, particularly with Spencer Dinwiddie, who has been playing excellently since his return to Brooklyn. If Mikal Bridges doesn’t get a quick hook, his points prop looks promising most nights as well — though we’ll have to wait and see on that one for tonight. The spread is daunting, but the Nets have the potential to cover it. That said, betting on double-digit spreads is tricky, and my success rate is around 57% this season. As a result, the Nets are a lean laying the 12, but it has a better chance of making the card than the previous game.
Best NBA Bet: Nets -12 (LEAN)

Miami Heat vs. New York Knicks
The Miami Heat are on the tail end of a back-to-back and travel to New York to take on the Knicks. While the Heat are awaiting the return of Jimmy Butler, who missed their previous game, the Knicks have been on a roll, covering spreads and delivering profitable prop bets. The Knicks have been a reliable team to wager on, beating up on weaker opponents and covering against stronger teams. With a spread of just 4 points, I like laying it with the Knicks in this matchup.
It’s worth noting that there is some uncertainty around the status of Jalen Brunson, who is questionable for the game.
Best NBA Bet: Knicks -4 (LIKE)
