NBA Betting Guide for March 28: Two-Game Impactful Slate Ahead

We have just a small two-game NBA slate set for tonight as MLB Opening Day will garner most of today’s attention, but we still have two intriguing matchups to dive into.

First, the Boston Celitcs play their first game as the official No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs as they’ll play the Atlanta Hawks down south once again after they blew a 30-point lead a few nights ago. SportsGrid’s betting model is touting the Hawks +17.5 as a five-star play tonight, so will the Celtics look for revenge after their misstep earlier this week or will they take the night off?

Next, the New Orleans Pelicans will play host to the Milwaukee Bucks in an interesting non-conference tilt with both teams needing the win for security in their playoff races, so we worked up a +1250 ultimate same-game parlay to give you action on the game.

Let’s lock in, enjoy the slate, and aim to build up our bankroll!
