My strategy of backing tanking teams on the spread backfired on me on Monday, but overall the strategy has still been profitable. Back at it tomorrow, regardless. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Tuesday, March 17th.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Tuesday, March 17th
Philadelphia 76ers vs Denver Nuggets
Start Time – 10:00 PM EST
After having a surprisingly good season blending the old with the new, the injury bug has once again bitten the Philadelphia 76ers hard. However, that hasn’t stopped them from winning their past two games and three of the last four (ignore the opponents).
Am I predicting they are going to make it three straight and beat the Denver Nuggets on the road tomorrow night? No, no I’m not. Am I predicting that they’ll cover the spread? Yes, yes I am. My line is Denver -12, so the Sixers plus the points is the play.
Best Bet: Philadelphia +16 (-110)
San Antonio Spurs vs Sacramento Kings
Start Time – 10:00 PM EST
Now, for a tanker – the Sacramento Kings – who are going full-on tank mode this season. But don’t tell that to DeMar DeRozan, who scored 41 and 39 recently, helping the team to back-to-back wins and four wins over their past five.
The Kings will have their hands full with the San Antonio Spurs in town tomorrow night, but at least they’re at home and it’s the second night of a back-to-back for the Spurs. My line is San Antonio -10.5, so the Kings plus the points is my play.
Best Bet: Sacramento +13.5 (-110)
2025/6 Overall Record: 151-120 (56%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1,571.20
Return on Investment: 6%
