With six NBA games on the schedule for Wednesday, March 26, there’s plenty of action to dive into with DraftKings Sportsbook.
Here’s the full NBA schedule for Wednesday, March 26 (all times Eastern):
Wizards at 76ers, 7 p.m.
Raptors at Nets, 7:30 p.m.
Lakers at Pacers, 7:30 p.m.
Clippers at Knicks, 7:30 p.m.
Bucks at Nuggets, 9 p.m.
Celtics at Suns, 10 p.m.
Pacers +1.5 (-110)
The Pacers have been red-hot with five consecutive wins, and their defense has drastically improved, highlighted by Andrew Nembhard’s ability to shut down top scorers. Indiana’s offense is firing on all cylinders, led by Obi Toppin’s 16.8 points per game during the win streak. The Lakers, however, have been struggling, especially in their recent loss to Orlando, where they still got big performances from Luka Doncic and LeBron James but couldn’t overcome defensive shortcomings. The Pacers are well-equipped to cover the +1.5 spread here, as they’ve been more consistent and are playing at home.
Clippers -4.5 (-110)
The Clippers have a big road challenge against a Knicks team playing the second night of a back-to-back. Los Angeles is fighting for playoff positioning and will look to bounce back from a tough loss to Oklahoma City. Kawhi Leonard has been on a tear, and while James Harden is questionable, the Clippers have plenty of firepower to compete in this matchup. New York is strong, but playing on the second night of a back-to-back, it may struggle to maintain the same intensity after a dominant performance against Dallas. The Clippers are the stronger team and should cover the -4.5 spread.
Suns +5.5 (-112)
Phoenix has been on a strong run with four straight wins, including impressive victories over the Cavaliers and Bucks. Devin Booker and Kevin Durant have been on fire, with Durant scoring 38 points in a recent win. The Celtics are coming into this matchup on a six-game win streak, but Jayson Tatum is listed as doubtful for Wednesday’s game, leaving Boston without its primary offensive weapon. Without Tatum, the Celtics will struggle to match the firepower Phoenix brings. The Suns should cover the +5.5 spread, especially with their defense stepping up to complement their offensive stars.
Nuggets -9.5 (-105)
The Nuggets are in a strong position to extend their lead in the Western Conference, especially with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard sidelined for the Bucks. Even potentially without NBA MVP candidate Nikola Jokic, Denver’s depth has been solid. Jamal Murray has been on fire, averaging 33.5 points in Jokic’s absence, and the Nuggets have enough offensive depth to dominate a weakened Bucks team. With the Bucks struggling with injuries and Denver at home, this is a prime opportunity for the Nuggets to cover the -9.5 spread and get a much-needed win. Proceed with caution since Denver does have Jokic, Aaron Gordon and Michael Porter Jr. questionable on the injury report.
