NBA is a favourite across the globe, with many fans glued to the action when the season begins in October to see if their team can come out on top. There are so many variables that come with betting on NBA, and a huge 82 games to follow and get stuck into – so it’s no surprise that sports betting is becoming popular amongst fans. Below, we’ll look at a few potentially exciting games coming up in March. February provided fans with a lot of excitement including the Knicks Vs. The 76ers – props.com had Joel Embiid at +190 for 1.5 Steals – but what should you be expecting in the next couple of weeks? Read on to find out more.
Knicks Vs Hornets
First up, the Charlotte Hornets head to Madison Square Garden, home of the New York Knicks on the 7th to see who will come out on top. This game could be a particularly interesting watch as both teams seem to be heading in different directions. The Knicks are playing some of the best basketball their fans have ever seen and will be heading into this game on the back of a 9-win run. In comparison, the Hornets have lost 3 games in a row, putting an end to what seemed like a promising winning streak for the Charlotte side. The Hornets have also suffered a blow in the form of an injury to LaMelo Ball, who is said to be out for the rest of the season. It could be a clear win for the Knicks – but who knows what could happen on the night?
Lakers Vs Raptors
The Toronto Raptors head to the home of the LA Lakers to go head-to-head at the Crypto.com arena on the 11th of March. This game could go either way when taking into account both teams last 5 and how they’ve performed. Both teams have won 3 and lost 3 over the last couple of weeks, which puts them on a level playing field when it comes to the game on Saturday. However, the Lakers have an injury list longer than the Raptors, seeing players like LeBron James and Mo Bamba sitting it out for this matchup. Whereas the Toronto side is firing on all cylinders with only one injury to Dalano Banton. With this in mind, fans might see the Raptors take the win over the Lakers this month.
Magic Vs Heat
Miami Heat travels to the Amway Center in Florida to take on the mighty Orlando Magic on the 12th of March, in another match that looks to be another tight match up. Both teams have only won 2 in their last 3 matches, but Miami remain at the top of the southeast standings, 7 points ahead of the Orlando side. This game may be tough to call, considering injuries to a handful of players on each team, including Kyle Lowry and Nikola Jovic for the Heat, and Jonathan Isaac and Gary Harris for Magic. Taking this all into account means both teams are more or less on a level playing field, with Orlando pipped to win by as little as 0.4%.
