Top 3 NBA Betting Picks for Friday, March 11th (2022)
Today there is plenty of basketball for everyone. The college conference tournaments are going on, and it is easy to get into the hype this time of year. I know that I certainly will be betting on plenty of games. Let us not forget about the NBA during the days up until March Madness. There are ten NBA games tonight, and a few of those games have good betting value. The Cleveland Cavaliers Vs. Miami Heat game tonight will headline tonight’s NBA games.

Minnesota Timberwolves -7 -110 at Draftkings Sportsbook
The Minnesota Timberwolves are one of the best teams in the NBA right now. They are crushing teams by large-point differentials. The Timberwolves are 5-0 in March and winning by an average of 28.2 points a game in that timeframe. They are starting to hit their stride late in the season, and tonight against the worst team in the NBA should be no different. The Magic are losing by an average of 13 points in March. The Timberwolves are the more consistent team in this matchup, and in a long NBA season, that makes this a value pick.
Utah Jazz -6 -110 at Draftkings Sportsbook
This bet is more about the Spurs than it is the Jazz. The Jazz is a great team and is one of the best teams in covering the spread this year, but the Spurs are ice cold. They are 1-3 in March, and they have been playing the lower-ranked teams in the NBA. Tonight the Spurs play one of the top teams in the NBA, and they have plenty of mismatches. The Jazz has Mitchell, Gobert, and Bogdanovic. The Spurs don’t have enough good defenders to stop all three of these guys. That means they will have to pick and choose who they will let score. That makes the Jazz a good betting pick tonight.
Miami Heat Moneyline -240 at Draftkings Sportsbook
This pick is not a secret from anyone. The Heat have been my go-to pick every week and for many reasons. They are a great team and a team that I can see making a run deep into the playoffs. They need to keep players healthy. This game is a home game for the Miami Heat, and that means Cleveland will need to manage minutes because they go to Chicago tomorrow night. The Heat plays both games at home this weekend and has the depth to not worry about minutes. Cleveland is a great team and can keep this game close, but Miami is the better team defensively. Miami has the betting advantage to win this matchup.
