Best NBA Bets, Expert Picks & Predictions | March 28
Boston Celtics at Washington Wizards
The Boston Celtics will face off against the Washington Wizards, and the Celtics are favored by 11.5 points on the road. The Wizards will be without Kyle Kuzma and Bradley Beal, and Monte Morris and Daniel Gafford are questionable. The Celtics are a fully operational Death Star, and Jayson Tatum is back after getting a night off against the Spurs, so I lean towards Boston here. That said, it has been a rocky road for them this season, so this is only a lean.
Best NBA Bet: Boston Celtics -11.5 (LEAN)

Cleveland Cavaliers at Atlanta Hawks
The Cleveland Cavaliers will take on the Atlanta Hawks, and the total for the game is set at 234 points. The Cavs could be without Jarrett Allen and Isaac Okoro, and there is nothing we are waiting on from the Atlanta side. The best play here is the under on 234 because Cavaliers games this season rarely hit that number. The Hawks create a high-scoring game environment, but OddsShopper’s model does not want any of this smoke at 234. Therefore, this is just a lean unless the total gets bet up.
Best NBA Bet: Under 234 (LEAN)
Miami Heat at Toronto Raptors
The Miami Heat will face the Toronto Raptors and the Raptors are favored by 2.5 points at home. Kyle Lowry is questionable for the Heat, and Gary Trent Jr. is questionable for the Raptors.
The Raptors have a strong team defense with Scottie Barnes back in the mix, and their offense is constructed so that anyone can beat you on any given night. On the other hand, the Heat have a 25th-ranked adjusted offensive efficiency, making them one-dimensional and heavily reliant on their defense. I like the Raptors in this spot, and they are the most undervalued team based on the spread for Tuesday. Lock them in tonight.
Best NBA Bet: Toronto Raptors -2.5 (LOCK)

Orlando Magic at Memphis Grizzlies
The Orlando Magic will take on the Memphis Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies are favored by 7.5 points at home. Ja Morant is doubtful to play due to a thigh issue, and the Magic are healthy. With no real injury questions, I am waiting for the prop bets to come out. For now, I am interested in backing the Magic as underdogs because they have been profitable in that role this season. Lean towards the Magic +7.5.
Best NBA Bet: Orlando Magic +7.5 (LEAN)
