As we are nearing the end of March, the NBA has a couple of weeks left before the playoffs start. Here are three teams we like on Monday.
Dallas Mavericks @ Indiana Pacers–7 PM ET
Both of these teams are in 11th place in their respective conferences. Dallas is 11th in the West at 36 wins and 39 losses. Indiana is 11th in the East at 33 wins and 42 losses.
My Take:
Dallas is playing their worst basketball of the season, as they are losers of four straight. They are also playing their second game of a back-to-back as they lost 110-104 in Charlotte on Sunday. Take the Pacers at -1.5 and the over at 234.5. Indiana was just involved in a game with 273 points in a 143-130 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday.

Philadelphia is third in the East at 49 wins and 25 losses. Denver leads the West at 50 wins and 24 losses.
My Take:
The 76ers have not looked good at all defensively in their first two games of a three-game western road trip. They have given up a combined total of 245 points to the Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns. Now they have two-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic to deal with. Take the Nuggets at -4.5 and the over at 230.5. Join Our Championships Competition Members Can View Hub Here

New Orleans Pelicans @ Portland Trail Blazers–10 PM ET
New Orleans is at .500 at 37 wins and 37 losses, while Portland is at 32 wins and 42 losses.
My Take:
The Pelicans have struggled most of the season without Zion Williamson. Now it appears they have figured out how to win without him. Winners of four straight, the Pelicans are coming off an impressive 131-110 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday. Take the Pelicans at -9.5 as it appears Portland might be shutting down Damian Lillard, who has a calf injury. Take the over at 227.5. Portland has been involved in eight straight games over 228 points.
