NBA Best Bets Today | Expert Picks for Saturday, March 23

There is no reason to do anything now with the Celtics other than to back them as their latest win streak swelled to eight on Friday with another romp past the Pistons.

Jyason Tatum even took the night off but should be available this evening, while Jaylen brown scored an effective 33 as the win margin in the streak is a cool 18 ppg following that 129-102 romp at Little Caesars.

Boston has already handled Chicago without much problem (win margins 27 and 17 points) and the Bulls have now failed to cover three of four after the defense faltered again in Thursday's loss at Houston. Play Celtics

We're on the Under as the Suns and Spurs clash on Saturday night in San Antonio.

This game is going to be a lower scoring affair as this game should be played a slow pace. San Antonio is going to make this game played at their kind of speed and they've found recent success with games being slowed down.

They've been able to keep themselves in games, even with top opponents, as they like to eat a lot of clock on possessions. Coming into this one, they average 112.3 ppg and they've seen that number go down as of late. They scored just 107 points in the latest loss to the Mavs, but did hold them to 113 in the game.

That's the kind of style they need to be successful and they're going to make this be played in that kind of style. The Suns are also seeing some lower scoring games mixed in. They tend to play to the speed of their opponent, which really benefits this under.

Expect plenty of long possessions and for both teams to turn this into a half court style game. With that, this should be a game similar to the one the Spurs played with the Mavs last time out. You know what to do. Hop ON!
