In this article, I will provide my NBA Best Bets March 7th. In my last article, I went 2-1 for my March 4th NBA bets.
That is positive, but today’s a new day to go 3-0. This is an exciting Monday with eight NBA matchups. Let’s get into today’s picks.
Minnesota Timberwolves over 124.5PTs (Points)
FanDuel odds: -105
The Minnesota Timberwolves have been hot winning five of their last six games, including wins against the Warriors, Cavaliers, and Grizzlies.
In the Timberwolves’ last four games, they have gone over 125PTs in all of them and have a great opportunity to do it again.
The Portland Trail Blazers played the Timberwolves their last game and allowed 135 points, losing by 14.
Also, Portland will be without Anfernee Simons tonight, justifying that tonight could easily be a blowout.
The Timberwolves will be out with Anthony Edwards again, but with Malik Beasley filling in. Malik can fill in as 3rd scorer, as I expect Minisota to keep their offensive streak going.
Dejounte Murray over 40.5 in PTs, REB, AST
SharpSide odds: -108
Dejounte Murray deserves to be in the All-NBA bettors team. He has been great all year for NBA betters and today should be another great opportunity. The Spurs will be taking on the Lakers at home.
The Lakers allow the 5th most assists and the 6th most rebounds to opposing teams. Dejounte Murray has hit this number three of his last four games.
Most likely, Murray will be guarding Westbrook, meaning he can sag off and get plenty of rebonds.
The Spurs are favored to win and if they do so, expect it to be behind the efforts of Dejounte Murray. Lebron James is coming off of his best game of the season, so expect this to be a high scoring game.
This will be a competitive game where Murray’s presence will be necessary to compete with the Lakers.
NBA Best Bets March 7th: Trae Young over 37.5 PTs and AST
FanDuel odds: -118
The Hawks will be in Detroit tonight coming off of a two-game win streak. This seems like a high number, but I expect Detroit to be booing Young out of the stadium by the end of the night.
The Pistons don’t have any perimeter defenders that can stop Young. Additionally, the Pistons allow the third-most assists to opposing teams.
Trae Young will have plenty of PnR opportunities with John Collins and Clint Capella.
Detroit will be forced to choose if young will get to the rim or stop the lob. Furthermore, I expect Young to hit this number.
Recap NBA Best Bets March 7th
Minnesota Timberwolves over 124.5PTS (odds -105)
Dejounte Murray over 40.5 in PTS, RBS, ASTS (odds -108)
