Spring has sprung everyone, and it is a new day, a new season, and a new chance to build our bankroll. There are eight NBA games today, with competitive action in both conferences. Teams are entering less than 15 regular season games remaining, and the intensity is picking up. Players are also becoming injured, and the injury report is a long one today.

 

 

 

Fantasy Alarm NBA Best Bets did Meat Loaf it on Monday, but at the cost of Capela losing on the hook of a double-unit bet. Today, there is a variety of player props on deck, with three different matches. 

There are familiar faces in the column, one being the hot hand of Pascal Siakam as the Indiana Pacers play the Detroit Pistons beginning at 7:10 PM ET. The new face comes in the Sacramento Kings at Toronto Raptors as a point proposition bet makes an appearance. My NBA best bets Bet of the Night happens to be another familiar face, and it comes from the late game and two fringe playoff/play-in teams.

Expert NBA Best Bet & Pick Today, 3/20

Grayson Allen Player Props: Over 2.5 Threes Made (-135 on DraftKings)

Welcome back, Mr. Grayson Allen. This has been a very profitable angle as of late and the sportsbooks have not adjusted for his recent hot streak. Two days ago, this bet cashed in the first two minutes of the second quarter. It has been a successful wager in our last three mentions, and Allen has made three or more threes in his last four games. 

Tonight, the Phoenix Suns host the Philadelphia 76ers who are currently in eighth place. Allen has seventy-three three-point attempts in his last nine games, or a little over eight per game. He has a 47.8% success rate on three-point field goal attempts and has been the one constant in the Suns offense this season. 

Kevin Durant seems content to play with less effort, less jumping, and less field goal attempts as he sets a goal of playing to age forty-five. This has allowed more field goal attempts for Allen, who has played thirty-three or more minutes in all nine games this month. 

He simply has to wait for a double team on Devin Booker or Durant and catch-shoot-score. He has thrived in his role as a three-point machine, and with three great teammates, he has several open, high percentage three-point attempts. Three threes are needed for the bet of the night.

Pascal Siakam Player Props: Over 7.5 Rebounds (-130 on BetMGM)

Another late season favorite is back on deck. It was super tempting to make this a double-unit hammer, but with three bets per day, discipline is needed to bet a unit and allow a Meat Loaf betting day to bring in profit - of course, though, we prefer the sweep.

Pascal Siakam has been on a rebounding roll as of late. This bet cashed early in the third quarter two days ago, and he has simply been a monster on the glass lately. He has four double-doubles this month, all with rebounding and points. He has nine or more rebounds in four straight games, and has been out rebounding fellow teammate, and starting center, Myles Turner.

Jalen Duren of the Detroit Pistons is a fantastic rebounder, but Siakam has been positioning himself well for defensive rebounds. Siakam is also a forward and may not be matched up on Duren for several rebounds. The Pacers lost their last game against Philadelphia, and in doing so were demoted to the play-in with a ninth seed. They will need to bring the effort against an eliminated team to get out of the play-in with a win tonight.

 

 

 

Gary Trent Jr. Player Props: Over 19.5 Points (-120 on DraftKings)

Gary Trent Jr. has been forced into the playmaking role for the Toronto Raptors for the last quarter of the season. He has scored over 19.5 points in three of his last four games, and he has played over twenty-nine minutes in every game played this month. He has tried to fill the void of almost the entire opening day starters and has a good chance to do this tonight.

He is averaging just 12.7 points per game, but as of late his points have been up. The Toronto Raptors host the Sacramento Kings tonight, and the Kings allow the fourth most points to opposing point guards. The Kings defense has been lacking this season, and although the spread is 10.5 points in favor of Sacramento, there are multiple routes for Trent Jr. to score twenty points. 

Trent Jr. has potential to cover his point line before the fourth quarter. Should it be a blowout game, Trent Jr. would likely continue to play, and would have an advantage over second string players. The Kings are wildly inconsistent, and they do not have a backcourt defender to slow down Trent Jr. Although he is a new face in this column, we have been monitoring his play for a couple of weeks. Tonight is the night he makes his appearance for Fantasy Alarm NBA Best Bets, and he will deliver.
