Free NBA Picks For Saturday March 12, 2022

Timberwolves vs. Heat, 8:00PM ET

Minnesota completely capitulated against the Magic last night as their winning streak came to a thudding crash. I lost a little bit of love for them last night and they'll have a hard time winning me back as they head to Miami to take on one of the most suffocating defenses in the league. The Heat are humming, holding their opponents to 102 points per game over their last five. Those are some crazy numbers. With the Wolves on a second night of a back-to-back - a position they struggle with (2-5 ATS in their last seven), this looks good for Miami to continue on their merry way.

BET: Heat -5.5 (-110)

Pacers vs. Spurs, 8:00PM ET

The Spurs caused a stir last night with a strong fourth quarter performance against the Jazz to come away with the W but it hasn't particularly done much to instil confidence in us that they should be starting a game as such heavy favorites with a team who is in a similar class to them. Indiana haven't won in a week, but they also haven't been disgraced with an average losing margin of 6 points over their last three games. This is a good match up for Indy who have Tyrese Haliburton on hand to quell the danger that Dejounte Murray possesses for the Spurs. This one will be close.

BET: Pacers +5.5 (-110)

🏀 Projected Thunder vs. Wolves box score
🔥 Betting Preview: Thunder vs. Timberwolves


Bucks vs. Warriors, 8:30PM ET

It appears as though Golden State's win on Thursday night was enough to appease the oddsmakers that the Warriors are back - but to me, this line looks like a gift for Bucks bettors. Milwaukee, who possess the most efficient offense in the league statistically, have won their last six games, averaging a total of 127 points per game. While the Warriors' win on Thursday might have looked good on paper, there were several instances in which they almost had the game slip away from them before some magic in the fourth quarter pulled them out of the fire. The issues they have on defense without Draymond Green is still very real and tonight they're going to come to the fore against a powerful offense.

BET: Bucks -1.5 (-110)
