Top Week 20 Betting Matchups and Picks for this Week | NBA Lines

San Antonio Spurs vs. Utah Jazz

When: Tuesday, February 28
Where: Vivint Smart Home Arena

Time: 9:00 PM ET
TV: NBA League Pass

The San Antonio Spurs (14-47) and the Utah Jazz (31-31) kick off the top picks of the week with a game at Vivint Arena on Tuesday, February 28th. The Spurs are spiraling out of control with 16 straight losses, while the Jazz are continuing to fight for a playoff spot down the stretch.

On Saturday, these two squared off, and the Jazz handed the Spurs their 16th straight loss thanks to Lauri Markkanen’s 27 point night. While San Antonio jumped out to an early lead, they completely fell apart thanks to missing some key members due to injury. Expect a lot more effort from the Jazz, as they will be exerting every attempt to make the playoffs.

The bottom line in this one is that the Spurs are clearly not in it to win it with a franchise-worst losing streak. In addition, the Spurs are the top betting pick to fade as they have failed to cover the spread in 14 of their last 15 matchups.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Boston Celtics

When: Wednesday, March 1
Where: TD Garden

Time: 7:30 PM ET
TV: ESPN

Moving on to Wednesday, March 1st, an intriguing Eastern Conference matchup plays out when the Boston Celtics (44-17) host the Cleveland Cavaliers (39-25) at TD Garden. The Celtics hold the top overall spot in the East, while the Cavs currently hold the fourth spot and just 6.5 games back from first.

In a potential playoff matchup, all eyes should be on this game for Wednesday, and there is a huge betting opportunity. The Celtics should have a huge advantage and cover this one easily. The core group of Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, and Robert Williams are finally on the court together, and they have been unstoppable.

Boston has been on fire, covering the spread in seven of their last eight games. Additionally, the Cleveland Cavaliers have struggled out of the gate, losing three of their last four contests. It’s also important to note that the Cavaliers have been terrible on the road this season, with a 13-18 record away from home.

Sacramento Kings vs. Los Angeles Clippers

When: Friday, March 3
Where: TD Garden

Time: 10:00 PM ET
TV: NBA League Pass

The most recent meeting between these two teams resulted in the second-highest scoring game in NBA history, with Sacramento frequently rallying from behind to defeat the Clippers 176-175 in two overtimes.

The Sacramento Kings have been the league’s most potent offense averaging over 120 points per game, while the Clippers have emphasized defense under head coach Tyronn Lue. That didn’t stop these two from posting huge numbers the last time they faced, and odds are they will have another huge scoring game.

Both of these teams have been dominant for Over betters over the last several weeks, with the Kings sporting a 7-1-1 line on the Over, while the defense-first Clipper have surpassed the total in four straight contests and in six of their last eight.

Take the Over in this Friday night matchup and expect another offensive performance at Crypto Arena.
