NBA Best Bets Today | Expert Picks for Saturday, March 30

A strange week to be sure in the NBA, with the hottest team in the league (Boston) losing back-to-back games against the Hawks.

The Hawks still may not have come down to Earth after beating the Celtics in overtime as a 16-point 'dog two days ago. Atlanta is fat and happy with four consecutive victories.

The Bucks are in stop-the-pain mode off consecutive losses to the Pelicans and Lakers. Milwaukee won't have Damian Lillard, but they will have extreme motivation and Giannis Antetokounmpo. That will be enough for them to cover this number.
