Free NBA Picks For Thursday March 31, 2022

76ers vs. Pistons, 7:00PM ET

Get this. In their last 17 games as underdogs, the Pistons are 15-0-2. That is to say they have covered 15 times, with the other two being graded as a push!

That is unbelievable.

Now obviously, the Sixers are rightfully favorites here, but the Pistons should be able to make a game of this one like they did against the Nets, with Cade in some HOT form.

BET: Pistons +10.5 (-110)

Cavaliers vs. Hawks, 7:30PM ET

Who would've thought we'd see this line a month or two ago? The Cavs have quickly fallen into the Play-In section of the standings, with injuries grinding their incredible season to a halt.

But in saying that, they should cover here. The Cavs love being dogs, a point proven by their 21-15-2 record agains the spread as underdogs this season.

This should be a great battle between Young and Garland, with the game going right down to the final play. Take the points.

BET: Cavaliers +6.5 (-110)

Clippers vs. Bulls, 8:00PM ET

Paul George, baby! How good was it seeing him back on the court in full flight on Tuesday night?!

Now as the Clippers come up against the Bulls, we're taking them to cover once again.

LAC is 15-12 straight up with Paul George this season, compared to 22-27 without him. With the books giving us 3.5 points here, those are numbers we love to see!

BET: Clippers +3.5 (-110)
