NBA Best Bets | Expert Picks for Sunday, March 24

Pelicans vs Pistons

by Bruce Marshall

New Orleans Pelicans -11.5 (-115)

No Brandon Ingram, no problem for the Pels on Friday night in Miami when rolling the Heat, 111-98.

CJ McCollum led the way with 30 points as Willie Green's squad reminded once again that it can function at high efficiency even without one of its key cogs (Ingram out for at least the next week with a knee contusion, but NO has played thru his absences before.)

This, however, is more a chance to continue to buck the woeful and injury-ravaged Pistons, whose latest skid has reached five games, and the last three losses all by 19 points or more.

Thunder vs Bucks

by ASA

Thunder @ Bucks Over 231 Total Points (-110)

We have two of the best offensive teams in the NBA squaring off when the Thunder face the Bucks in Milwaukee.

The Thunder rank 3rd in offensive net rating since the All-Star break, the Bucks are 5th. Both teams average over 120PPG which ranks top 5 in the league.

The Thunder are the 2nd best FG% team in the league at 50%, the Bucks are 7th at 49.1%. Milwaukee is the 7th best 3-point shooting team in the NBA at 37.9%. OKC is 1st at 39.2% from deep.

Both teams don't need a ton of possessions to score either as they are highly efficient at 1.197-points per possession (Milwaukee) and 1.202PPP for OKC.

With both teams having a great shot at getting to 120 each we predict and easy OVER here.
