NBA Week 19 Betting Predictions: Over/Under Picks for the Best Week’s Matches

When: Tuesday, Feb. 28 – Sunday, March 5

Minnesota Timberwolves at L.A. Clippers

Tuesday, Feb. 28 | Minnesota has played in 3 straight under games. But before the 3 in a row under contests, the T’Wolves had played in 4 straight over games.

The Clippers have played in 4 straight over games. So we’ve got mixed signals in this one. LAC scored over 112 and allows over 112. The T’Wolves average over 115 and allow over 115 each game. This goes over.

NBA O/U Pick: Over

Cleveland Cavaliers at Boston Celtics

Wednesday, March 1 | Boston is the third highest-scoring team in the Association. The Celtics average over 118 each game. 5 of Boston’s last 6 matchups have gone over.

The Cavaliers average 112 each game. Ah, but Cleveland has the top rated defense in the NBA based on points allowed. This has the look of an under game.

NBA O/U Pick: Under

Philadelphia 76ers at Dallas Mavericks

Thursday, March 2 | Both these teams can score. But although both can drop the ball into the bucket, both can also play great defense. The Mavericks rank a tied twelfth in points allowed per game at 112.5. Philadelphia ranks third in the NBA at allowing points.

Teams go for 110.3 versus the Sixers on average. Neither will get into a shootout. Sixers versus Mavs on Thursday should go under.

NBA O/U Pick: Under

Memphis Grizzlies at Denver Nuggets

Friday, March 3 | The last game between these two went under by a mile. The total was 235.5. Memphis beat Denver 112 to 94.

But the total in the last head-to-head, 206, feels like an anomaly. The Grizzlies played the last face off at home. The venue changes to Denver where the Nuggets offense will shoot much better. Over is the play.

NBA O/U Pick: Over

Atlanta Hawks at Miami Heat

Saturday, March 4 | Atlanta new coach Quinn Snyder will preach defense. When Snyder was the HC at Utah, his teams routinely ranked in the top five in most defensive categories. So we should expect Atlanta to play much better defense with Snyder on the sidelines than they have so far this season.

Miami ranks second in points allowed per game at 108.6. If Snyder has his team slow things down and run a half court set, the Heat will counter with their own half court sets. This goes under.

NBA O/U Pick: Under

Golden State Warriors at L.A. Lakers

Sunday, March 5 | Golden State averages 118.3 points per game. The Warriors allow 118.1 each contest. The Dubs rank second in points scored each matchup.

Golden State ranks twenty-sixth in points allowed each game. However, although The City scores a lot and allows a lot, the under has hit in 3 straight Warriors’ games.The trend should reverse to the over in this. The Lakers are playing excellent basketball and Golden State doesn’t matchup well.
