NBA Picks March 20, 2024
Utah Jazz vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
Tipoff – 8:00 pm EST
Spread: Thunder -15.5
Total: 232
The Utah Jazz will be without their top two scorers tonight, Lauri Markannen and Jordan Clarkson. Further, the Jazz are on the road in this game where they haven’t had success.
In fact, the Jazz on the road this season are 9-24 SU and 14-19 ATS. Furthermore, the Jazz are on the front end of a back-to-back game. The Jazz will be playing in Dallas on Thursday night. In those situations, the Jazz are 0-5 SU and 0-5 ATS, losing by an average of 23.2 points per game!
The Thunder have all the motivation in the world. They are in a battle not only for the Northwest Division but also the #1 seed in the Western Conference.
Best Bet: Thunder -15.5 and TT Over 124.5
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Boston Celtics
Tipoff: 7:30 pm EST
Spread: Celtics -10.5
Total: 224
The big injury news in this game is the Milwaukee Bucks will be without Giannis Antentkoumpo. This line has moved from -6 to -10.5 in favor of the Celtics. Despite how great the Bucks’ defense has been under Doc Rivers, over the last five games, the Bucks’s defense ranks the third worst.
Furthermore, the Celtics offense has been firing on all cylinders. Since the All-Star Break, the Celtics have the best offensive rating in the league and are +7.9 better than the second-best offense, the Denver Nuggets. Additionally, over the last five games, the Celtics offense has improved to 131.4. I do expect the Bucks to do their part of the scoring tonight as well.
Best Bet: Celtics/Bucks Over 224
YTD Record: 48-30-1 (61.2%)
