Get ready for another thrilling day of NBA action as we look at the top 3 matchups in our NBA betting predictions for March 28th!
Golden State Warriors (37-34) at Orlando Magic (42-29)
The Warriors bounced back after losing two consecutive games by defeating the undermanned Miami Heat in Miami on Wednesday. Led by Klay Thompson's standout performance with 28 points, they secured a commanding 113-92 victory. Currently, the Warriors have been performing well on the road, boasting a 7-3 record in their last 10 away games. However, historically, they haven't fared well when playing on the road against Orlando, losing their last 5 games in such matchups. Nevertheless, they managed to defeat the Magic by 6 points (121-115) in their previous matchup this season, with Stephen Curry leading the charge with 36 points.
The Magic saw their winning streak come to an end with a 109-107 loss against the Kings on Sunday. Despite Jonathan Isaac's 25 points and Paolo Banchero's 22 points, they fell short. However, they've been solid during their homestand, with a 3-1 record so far and a 7-3 record in their last 10 games overall. Their defence has been impressive, conceding an average of 101.2 points in their last 5 games. Fortunately, they don't have any fresh injury concerns heading into the upcoming matchup.
In 11 out of their last 14 road games, Golden State has seen the total go UNDER, along with 12 out of their last 18 games overall. Similarly, in 11 out of their last 15 games, Orlando has experienced the total going UNDER, and in 8 out of their last 11 games as the favourite.
Stadium Record
Orlando are 7-3 in their last 10 at home. Golden State are 0-5 in their last 5 games.
Head to Head Record
In the last 10 meetings, the Magic are 6-4.
Best Bet
Indiana Pacers (41-32) at Chicago Bulls (34-38)
The Pacers secured a significant victory over the Clippers on the road on Tuesday, triumphing 133-116. Pascal Siakam led the charge with 31 points, supported by Myles Turner's 24 points. The Pacers showed impressive accuracy, shooting 60.7% from beyond the arc. They've been performing well on the road lately, boasting a 7-3 record in their last 10 away games and winning 4 out of their last 5. In their recent games, they've been averaging 125.2 points per game as well. There's uncertainty as TJ McConnell and Nesmith are questionable but their starting lineup shouldn't be impacted.
On the other hand, the Chicago Bulls are facing a tough spell, having lost three consecutive games. They suffered a narrow 107-105 defeat against the Wizards on Tuesday. Their performance at home hasn't been stellar, with just 3 wins in their last 10 home games. However, they managed to win their last encounter against the Pacers two weeks ago with a score of 132-129 in Indianapolis, fueled by DeMar DeRozan's impressive 46-point performance. Unfortunately, they'll be missing LaVine and Williams for the rest of the season, and Alex Caruso is also questionable.
Indiana has excelled on the road, covering the spread in 6 out of their last 7 games, while Chicago has struggled, only covering the spread in 1 out of their last 6 games overall and 1 out of their last 7 games at home.
Stadium Record
Chicago are 3-7 in their last 10 at home. Indiana are 2-2 in their last 4.
Head to Head Record
The Bulls lead the head to head since 2019, 6-4.
Best Bet
Phoenix Suns (42-30) at Denver Nuggets (51-21)
The Suns had their three-game winning streak snapped on Tuesday with a disappointing 104-102 loss against the undermanned Spurs. Despite Devin Booker's impressive 36 points and Kevin Durant's 29 points, and the Suns have been averaging 121 points in their last 5 games. However, their performance on the road hasn't been great, with a 4-6 record in their last 10 away games. There's speculation that Denver might be tanking, and the Suns are eager to secure a top 6 spot in the Western Conference. Beal and Nurkic are questionable for the game.
Meanwhile, the Nuggets are on a roll, having won four straight games. They dominated the Grizzlies on Tuesday with a 128-103 victory, led by Nikola Jokic's 29 points. With a field goal percentage of 53% and shooting 46% from the three-point arc, the Nuggets were in top form. They've also won their last five home games. However, there's uncertainty as Jokic, Murray, Porter, and Gordon are all questionable for this clash. But I think they'll take this game seriously and play their starters.
Denver has been dominating, winning 9 out of their last 10 games and boasting a strong 5-1 record when playing at home against Phoenix, while the Suns have struggled, with a 3-7 ATS record in their last 10 road games and a 3-8 ATS record in their last 11 games against Denver.
Stadium Record
Denver are 8-2 in their last 10 at home. Phoenix are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games when playing on the road against Denver.
Head to Head Record
In the last 10, it's tied 5-5.
