There are 7 games on the NBA slate tonight and there are plenty of betting opportunities out there. The pick of tonight’s games would be the meeting between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Golden State Warriors. With both teams having tittle aspirations, it should be a great game between two of the league’s behemoths. Check out our +1376 same game parlay for that one.

Karl-Anthony Towns over 1.5 made threes (+120)
Karl-Anthony Towns of the Minnesota Timberwolves will not have an easy matchup in the paint tonight against the Miami Heat. Bam Adebayo will likely be picking him up throughout the game, with the Heat center possessing the physical tools to make life tough for Towns in the post. As a result I expect him to step out of the paint and operate more as a floor spacer, opening driving lanes for his team. The last time the sides met he managed his season average of 5 3-point attempts but without reaching his season average in minutes. Considering he is shooting at a 40% clip from deep this season, similar levels of aggression should lead to more makes tonight.

Buddy Hield over 3.5 made threes (+134)
Since being acquired by the Indiana Pacers, Buddy Hield has not been shy letting the ball fly. He has managed 5 games of 10 or more shots from deep in his first 11 games, hitting this line the same number of times. If he keeps that level of aggression here, he should have a successful night against the San Antonio Spurs. Over the last 10 games the Spurs are 21st in opponent 3-point percentage. They are allowing teams to make 37.1% of their attempts. Considering that Hield is 9 of 18 against the Spurs this season, he could be set to do damage with his new team here.

Giannis Antetokounmpo over 6.5 assist (+122)
When Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks last played the Golden State Warriors, he recorded a triple-double with an 11-assist night. Tonight should be no different. The Warriors do not have a player that has the physical attributes to contain Giannis in a one-on-one scenario. That is especially true with Draymond Green out. That will likely mean that they will look to build a wall in the paint, crowding Giannis out once more. With the former MVP being an accomplished passer of the ball, look for him to use these opportunities to find open teammates. Over the last 5 games the Warriors are 22nd in the league in opponent assists per game, which should allow Antetokounmpo to up his numbers here. Considering he is average 5.6 per game in March, that should be enough to make this line hit.
