With five NBA games on the schedule for Saturday, March 22, there’s plenty of action to dive into on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Here’s a look at the full NBA schedule for Saturday, March 22 (all times Eastern):
- Nets at Pacers, 5 p.m.
- Warriors at Hawks, 7 p.m.
- Wizards at Knicks, 8 p.m.
- Bucks at Kings, 10 p.m.
- Bulls at Lakers, 10:30 p.m.
Pacers +9.5 (-110)
The Pacers come into Saturday with the chance to stay perfect on their five-game homestand after an overtime win over Brooklyn on Thursday. Bennedict Mathurin has been key while stepping up in the absence of Tyrese Haliburton. Indiana has shown resilience, especially with key contributions from the bench. Meanwhile, Brooklyn has struggled post-All-Star break, winning only three of their last 16 games. With Indiana’s depth, the Pacers should cover the +9.5 spread.
Hawks +2.5 (-110)
Golden State will be without Stephen Curry, who is recovering from a pelvic injury. Curry’s absence leaves the Warriors vulnerable, especially as they try to stay above the Play-In spot in the Western Conference. Atlanta has been solid lately, winning five of their last seven. With Trae Young leading the charge and Golden State’s challenges without Curry, Atlanta should be able to cover the +2.5 spread at home.
Wizards +16 (-110)
The Wizards are one of the worst teams in the league, but they’ve continued to fight with Alex Sarr emerging as a bright spot. New York, without Jalen Brunson, has been struggling with consistency. The Knicks have failed to hit the 100-point mark in four of their last seven games, and without their primary scorer, they’ll struggle to cover a large spread against a determined Wizards team. Washington has enough to cover the +16 spread.
Bucks +2 (-108)
The Bucks, coming off a dominant win over the shorthanded Lakers, want to build momentum on the road. Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to play at an NBA MVP level, and even though the Bucks have been inconsistent on the road, their defense should be enough to slow down Sacramento. The Kings, missing Domantas Sabonis, have been struggling. With the spread set at +2, the Bucks have enough firepower to cover and secure the win.
Lakers -8.5 (-115)
Despite multiple injuries to key players, including LeBron James and Rui Hachimura, the Lakers have proven resilient, especially on defense. Although on a 6-2 run, the Bulls are still rebuilding and have struggled against top-tier competition. The Lakers’ defense should stifle Chicago’s offense, while their size and depth will prove too much for the Bulls to handle on the road. With the spread set at -8.5, the Lakers should be able to cover comfortably in this matchup.
