The NBA has a monster slate on the cards for us tonight with 24 teams in action, and I’ve got my NBA best bets for EVERY game! Last time, I went 6-1-1 on Friday’s 8-game slate, so let’s hope for more success tonight. You can find out our NBA picks on the side and total, but for now, let’s get into my NBA best bets for each one of the games below. We have a lot to cover!
Hornets vs Heat best bet: LaMelo Ball over 11.5 assists & rebounds (-145)
LaMelo Ball has been able to hit the over on this line in both games against the Miami Heat this season. He managed a combined 15 and 17 in those categories in those games. The Heat have a lot of size on the inside which should encourage Ball to kick out the rock on drives to the rim and help out on the glass.

Lakers vs Nets best bet: Luka Doncic over 8.5 assists (-135)
The Los Angeles Lakers will be using Luka Doncic much more now that LeBron James has gone down injured. Over his last 9 games he is averaging 8.4 assists per game so by putting the ball in his hands more often should only help increase those numbers. The Nets will be able to zone in on him defensively too, which should encourage him to spread the ball around.

76ers vs Hawks best bet: Dyson Daniels over 3.5 blocks & steals (+120)
Tyrese Maxey will be the offensive catalyst for the Philadelphia 76ers here, leading the team in field goal attempts over the last 10 games. Dyson Daniels will have plenty of opportunities to impact his production here. He is coming into this game after a 5-steal performance against the Indiana Pacers and should make a similar impact tonight.
Jazz vs Celtics best bet: Over 230.5 (-110)
The style of basketball the Jazz have been playing tends well to high scoring games. Over the last 10 contests, they are 2nd in pace and 25th in defensive rating. The Celtics are 6th in true shooting percentage over that stretch and will be well-positioned to take full advantage. They should help carry this game over 230 points.
Wizards vs Raptors best bet: Immanuel Quickley over 2.5 made threes (-115)
Immanual Quickley missed the last outing between these teams, but should be back firing on all cylinders here. He knocked down 6 three pointers in his last game and is currently making 41.7% of his attempts so far in March. He has upped his attempts to 8 per game too, and with the Wizards being 23rd in opponent 3-point percentage over the last 10 games, Quickley should be knocking these down.
Nuggets vs Thunder best bet: Nikola Jokic to record a triple-double (-130)
Nikola Jokic was just one assist shy of recording a triple-double against the Thunder in his last outing. In 3 games against them this season, he is averaging 15 rebounds and 12.7 assists per game. For Jokic the points should be a given. After a major 4th quarter collapse, I expect Jokic to come out even more motivated.

Pacers vs Bulls best bet: Coby White over 3.5 threes made (+105)
Bulls guard Coby White has not been shy shooting from beyond the arc of late. Over his last 6 games, he had at least 10 attempts on 3 occasions, having no fewer than 8 in any of the games. Considering he is 36.1% shooter, he will be well placed to knock down 4 tonight.
Magic vs Rockets best bet: Paolo Banchero over 7.5 rebounds (+115)
The Rockets have been rolling with 2 bigs in their lineups of late, which should mean Banchero will have a bigger role to play rebounding tonight. With these teams being 22nd and 23rd in true shooting percentage over the last 10 games, there should be no shortage of misses for him to chase down.

Suns vs Grizzlies best bet: Grizzlies -4 (-110)
Both teams were in action last night. The Suns have struggled in the back end of back-to-backs, with a 3-10 record and a -6.8 point differential. The Grizzlies have handled them much better, being 8-3 and a 8.7 point differential. They should cover the spread here.

Mavericks vs Spurs best bet: Spurs -7 (-110)
The Dallas Mavericks were incredibly shorthanded in their game last night, having only 7 players available at the end of the game. On the second night of a back-to-back, that fatigue should be telling. Look for the Spurs to have a comfortable night here.
Trail Blazers vs Warriors best bet: Stephen Curry over 4.5 made threes (-130)
Over his last 2 games Curry has attempted a staggering 28 3-point attempts. If he continues on this trend, expect the greatest shooter in NBA history to knock down at least 5 3-pointers. He has done so in 4 of his last 6 games.
Knicks vs Kings best bet: Precious Achiuwa over 3.5 rebounds (-135)
Achiuwa is the sort of active rebounder that should thrive against a Kings team that was in action last night. He averages 6.2 rebounds per game this season and is a stronger rebounder than Try Lyles, who he will be matched up off the bench against tonight.
