NBA Predictions & Preview For Monday, March 16th

Not only did both of my underdog plays come through on Sunday by covering the spread, but they both won their games. Let’s keep the good times rolling into the new week. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Monday, March 16th.

NBA Predictions & Preview For Monday, March 16th

Portland Trail Blazers vs Brooklyn Nets

Start Time – 7:30 PM EST

I faded the Portland Trail Blazers to great effect on Sunday, and I’m doing the same tomorrow night. Yes, even though they are playing the in-the-tank Brooklyn Nets.

This is the second night of a road back-to-back for the Blazers. And while they are better than the Nets, and the Nets will be up to injury list shenanigans tomorrow, my line is Portland -2, so there’s plenty of wiggle room on the Nets side.

Best Bet: Brooklyn +10.5 (-113)

Memphis Grizzlies vs Chicago Bulls

Start Time – 8:00 PM EST

At first glance, it looked like there were plenty of playable spreads for tomorrow’s NBA slate. But once I checked out the injury reports, many of those good spots disappeared.

Which brings us to this tankathon between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Chicago Bulls. As I’ve said before, the tanking should cancel each other out in this matchup, and I’ve had great success playing tankers on the spread. My line is Chicago -2, so there is value on the Grizzlies as a road dog.

Best Bet: Memphis +6.5 (-115)

2025/6 Overall Record: 151-118 (56%)
