Another 2-0 sweep in the last article! I look to continue to stay hot for the four-game schedule in the NBA. A couple of great matchups tonight in the NBA with playoff-seeding implications. Below are my NBA Picks for March 26, 2024.
Tipoff – 10:00 pm EST Spread: Kings -1 Total: 233.5
There will be a huge Western Conference showdown tonight in Sacramento between the Kings and the Mavericks. Both teams are in back-to-back situations, coming off wins on Tuesday night. Now, these two Western Conference opponents will play a huge game tonight.
Over the last five games, both teams have ramped up their defensive efforts. In fact, over the last five games the Kings are the #1 defensive rated team. Further, the Mavericks rank #7 in the same span. Thus far this season, the Kings are 7-5 to the Under in back-to-back games.
In a game I am expecting to be a playoff-type atmosphere, I expect both teams to ramp up defensively. I will take the Under.
Best Bet: Mavericks/Kings Under 233.5
Los Angeles Lakers vs. Milwaukee Bucks
Tipoff: 7:30 pm EST Spread: Bucks -9.5 Total: 232
The Lakers start an important road trip tonight in Milwaukee and will be without LeBron James who is dealing with a right foot injury. I am expecting a fast start from both teams in this game. In fact, both teams come ranked in the top 10 in offensive efficiency in the first half of games.
Further, the Lakers are the fastest-paced team in the first half of games over the last five games as well. Additionally, on the road this season, the Lakers are 22-10 to the Over in the first half. Look for both offenses to put up points in the first half.
Best Bet: Lakers/Bucks 1H Over 118.5
YTD Record: 51-32-1 (61.3%)
