NBA Betting Tips: 28 March

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

28 Mar 01:00 Indiana Pacers v Dallas Mavericks

Luka Doncic picked up his 16th technical foul for the season in a game against the Hornets and he’ll be suspended for this game. Now the Mavericks are not playing good basketball right now, a short-handed Hornets team beat them and if it weren’t for Luka they would’ve been blown away. The Mavericks are allowing in too many points from the opposition, and this Pacers team will try to take advantage of that with their fast-paced basketball style. We have a good underdog here, take the Pacers.

Suggested Bet: Indiana Pacers +5.5

28 Mar 01:30 New York Knicks v Houston Rockets

This is not a must-win game for the Knicks but it’s a game they are going to win because it secures their playoff spot earlier. Jalen Brunson is listed as doubtful but he should return for this game and lead his side to a comfortable home victory. The Rockets have lost 9 games in their last 10 away games and only managed to cover the spread 3 times. For the Rockets the season is over and they are looking for it to be over ASAP, the line may be too big for the Knicks but they have covered it here.

Suggested Bet: New York Knicks -9.5

28 Mar 04:00 Portland Trail Blazers v New Orleans Pelicans

Portland released a statement last week stating that their star player Damian Lillard will be shut down for the remainder of the season. With that statement alone the Blazers are done for the season and now will just be giving the less inexperienced players game time. On the other hand, the Pelicans know their season is far from over in their battle for post-season. This is a must-win game for them and I see them making this their 5th win in a row.

Suggested Bet: New Orleans Pelicans
