NBA Preview: March 20 Joel Embiid (Google Images)

With March Madness into full swing, many basketball fans are focused on the college game. However we cannot ignore the NBA. Here are the three teams we like the most on Monday night.


Chicago Bulls @ Philadelphia 76ers–7pm ET

The 76ers are second in the Eastern Conference at 48 wins and 22 losses. The Bulls are 10th in the East at 33 wins and 37 losses.

My Take:

The 76ers are the hottest team in the NBA as they are winners of eight straight. They are now in second place in the East, only behind the Milwaukee Bucks. I don’t see this streak ending on Monday. The Bulls have played well defensively, but the 76ers have scored 262 points in their last two games. Take Philadelphia at -8.5 and the over at 225.  76ers star center Joel Embiid leads the NBA with 33.5 points per game. Join Our Championships Competition Members Can View Hub Here

Minnesota Timberwolves @ New York Knicks–7:30 PM ET

The Knicks are fifth in the Eastern Conference at 42 wins and 30 losses, and the Timberwolves are ninth in the Western Conference at 35 wins and 37 losses.

My Take:

The Knicks are winners of three straight and the Timberwolves are losers of three straight. In the three New York wins, they have won by a combined total of 26 points. In the three Minnesota losses, they have lost by a combined total of 25 points. Take New York at -8.5 and the over at 228.5. Minnesota has been involved in games over 228.5 points in four of their last five games.

Sacramento Kings @ Utah Jazz–9 PM ET

The Kings are second in the West at 43 wins and 27 losses. The Jazz are 11th in the West at 34 wins and 36 losses.

My Take:

I know the Jazz are a tough team at home, but the Kings actually have a better record on the road (22-13), than the Jazz have in their home arena (21-13). I like the Kings here as they lead the NBA with 121.1 points per game. Take Sacramento at -5.5 and the over at 240.5. Join Our Championships Competition Members Can View Hub Here
