NBA Best Bets March 9th should be a good one. I’m 3-3 in March, but hopefully, be positive after today. This is an exciting Wednesday with twelve NBA matchups! Let’s get into today’s best bets.

Jalen Green Over 16.5 PTs

-110 Odds on Sharpside 

FanDuel has yet to come out with Green’s number, but If his number is set at 17.5, I would still take it. Jalen Green has turned a corner lately, scoring over 18 points in his last five games. 

Today, the Rockets will be on the road against a depleted Lakers team. In my last article, I bet against the Lakers and I will keep doing so.

The Lakers are simply a great team to bet against. One statistic that helps justify this play is that Los Angeles allows the fourth-most points in the paint. 

Jalen Green has been taking more threes recently, but this could be a game where he takes advantage of his quickstep and gets the LA crowd going. 

Bucks Cover -4.5 Spread Against Atlanta

-106 Odds on FanDuel

This is my first spread pick of the month, but this is a great opportunity. The Bucks have a great home record on the year at 23-12. More importantly, the Atlanta Hawks are 12-20 on the road. 

The Bucks will be with their big three in Giannis, Holliday, and Middelton. Furthermore, Milwaukee is on a five-game win streak and has covered the spread four of these games.

The Atlanta Hawks even lost their last road game to the Pistons, one of the league’s worst teams. In addition, I believe the Hawks can not keep up on the road.

NBA Best Bets March 9th: RJ Barrett Over PRAs at 34.5 

+106 Odds on Fanduel

Tonight, the Knicks will take on the Mavericks in Dallas. RJ Barrett’s volume has been high, shooting over twenty attempts in five of the last six games. 

Also, during this span, he has hit five of the last six games with over 34.5 PRAs. The Knicks are going to have to keep up with Luka Doncic, relying on Barrett to continue to create.

Barrett may shoot poorly, although he should hit the over if he’s taking this many shots. 

I wanted to include his assists due to how the Knicks have been playing. The Knicks lack a true point guard, which puts Barrett in charge of being the lead guard. 

Considering everything, this should be a game that Barrett plays plenty of minutes to get all three.
