NBA Betting Tips: 21 March

There’s NBA action to look forward to on Tuesday morning, and as usual, Justin Simelane has prepared his betting tips for three matches. Feel free to add his tips to your bet slip.

21 Mar 01:00 Philadelphia 76ers v Chicago Bulls

Right now Philadelphia is on fire and we have to capitalise on that, they’ve won their last 8 games and they should win this one. In their previous win against the Pacers, James Harden was out as he was being rested but the Sixers’ strategist should be back here.

Joel Embiid took it personally when some people were not considering him an MVP and on Philly’s winning streak Embiid is averaging 30 ppg. Embiid’s scoring is the reason the Sixers are doing well and with him being the front-runner for MVP, he will put on another great display of scoring here, the Bulls won’t stop him.

Suggested Bet: Philadelphia 76ers ML

21 Mar 01:30 New York Knicks v Minnesota Timberwolves

The Timberwolves are usually great underdogs but here we just have to take New York. The Knicks have Jalen Brunson back and he was crucial in their win against the Nuggets where he dropped 24 points and had 5 assists. Now the Knicks are almost 100% healthy while the Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is not fully fit after his injury, whether or not he’ll play this game is an uncertainty.

The Knicks are a really good rebounding team, they rank second when it comes to getting boards and Minnesota will be dominated here. In their last 6, the Timberwolves have only won 1 game, take the Knicks here.

Suggested Bet: New York Knicks ML

21 Mar 03:00 Utah Jazz v Sacramento Kings

The Sacramento Kings when playing at home are 21-14 but when playing away they are 22-13, they have a better away record! The Kings have really impressed this season and their high scoring is the reason I’m going with them here.

Since the All-Star break, The Kings lead the league in scoring, they are 3rd in assists and now have the best field goal percentage. Utah Jazz have a shooting percentage of 48% and I see the Kings taking advantage of this. The Kings have already won in Utah this year as underdogs, now this time take them as the victors.

Suggested: Sacramento Kings ML
