NBA Betting Guide for February 28: West Playoff Race Heats Up

We have a small six-game slate in the NBA tonight, so we have everything you need to know for the night ahead ready to go.

Kicking off the slate, fresh off a dominating win in Madison Square Garden last night, the New Orleans Pelicans will travel to face the Indiana Pacers in what should be a high-scoring affair between two teams searching to break through their respective conferences.

Elsewhere in the early window, the Dallas Mavericks will head north to face the Toronto Raptors after losing on a buzzer-beater full-court heave last night by Max Strus, and the Minnesota Timberwolves will look to continue fend off the Oklahoma City Thunder for the top seed in the West as they welcome the Memphis Grizzlies to town.

Later on, the Denver Nuggets will host the Sacramento Kings as the Nuggets look to extend their three-game winning streak.

To close out the night, we have the battle of LA as the Los Angeles Lakers and LA Clippers will square off for the fourth time this season.

Let’s buckle up and pump out some winners!
