Best NBA Bets, Expert Picks & Predictions | March 20
Indiana Pacers at Charlotte Hornets
The Indiana Pacers will visit the Charlotte Hornets in an Eastern Conference matchup. The Pacers will be without Tyrese Haliburton, who is dealing with a knee issue that could be more severe than they are indicating. The Hornets will be without LaMelo Ball for the rest of the season, and Mark Williams is questionable for this game. Despite these issues, this game projects to be a high-scoring affair since neither team can stop anybody. While the line is efficient, the Charlotte moneyline at +120 on DraftKings is a valuable bet. This line should be considered a coin flip, and the Hornets should take advantage of the Pacers’ injury issues.

Chicago Bulls at Philadelphia 76ers
The Chicago Bulls will travel to Philadelphia to take on the 76ers in a game that features two teams going in different directions. The 76ers have been on cruise control lately, with Joel Embiid leading the way on the offensive end. Despite the Bulls’ recent struggles, this line is too high for the 76ers, who are favored by 7.5 points. Alex Caruso and P.J. Tucker are questionable for their respective teams, but there are no significant injuries to affect the line. While no one will bet on the Bulls, they are a valuable pick to cover the spread. The public often jams chalk lines, but it is time for the Bulls to surprise the 76ers in this matchup.
Best NBA Bet: Chicago Bulls +7.5 (LIKE)

Minnesota Timberwolves at New York Knicks
The Minnesota Timberwolves will play the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Both teams have been great against the spread lately, making it difficult to pick a side in this matchup. The Knicks will have Jalen Brunson back on the floor, and he looked good in his last game, recording 24 points and five assists. Julius Randle and R.J. Barrett will likely distribute the ball less with Brunson back in the rotation. Minnesota will have Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid questionable, and they have played through their injuries lately. Mike Conley has been a bright spot for the Timberwolves, scoring over on his 11.5 points props in his last two games. Assuming Anthony Edwards will play and the line is 11.5 points, I would avoid picking a side in this game.
Best NBA Bet: Mike Conley Over 11.5 Points (LEAN)
