The NBA games continue on Friday night as all eyes are on March Madness. But hey, I will still be watching the NBA and looking to find a few winners. Wednesday Night did not end in a profitable night as the Thunder let me down. However, I look to bounce back on the Friday night card. Below are my NBA Picks for March 22, 2024.

NBA Picks March 22, 2024
Boston Celtics vs. Detroit Pistons
Tipoff – 7:00 pm EST
Spread: Celtics -14.5
Total: 223
The Boston Celtics head to the Motor City tonight to take on the Pistons. The Celtics are one of the most profitable teams in the NBA in the first half.
In fact, the Celtics overall are 50-18-1 ATS in the first half of games this season. Further, in their road games, the Celtics are 27-7 ATS in the first half! Meanwhile, the Pistons have struggled in the first half of games. They are 17-19 ATS at home and just 4-6 ATS in the first half at home.
Best Bet: 1H Celtics -8.5
Indiana Pacers vs. Golden State Warriors
Tipoff: 10:00 pm EST
Spread: Warriors -5
Total: 240
The Indiana Pacers will travel to the Bay Area to take on the Golden State Warriors. I am expecting this game to be a spot where both defenses step up. Over the last five games, the Pacers rank #6 in defensive efficiency. The Warriors have struggled on the defensive side but I do expect a bigger effort on that side of the ball.
Further, the Pacers are 10-2 to the Under this season in non-conference road games this season. Additionally, the Pacers are 20-13-1 to the Under in their road games. Despite being a team that trends toward the over at home this season, the Warriors are 10-5 to the Under since the All-Star break.
Best Bet: Pacers/Warriors Under 240
YTD Record: 49-32-1 (60.4%)
