NBA Top Picks Today: Bet on Jamal Murray, Ivica Zubac, Hawks vs 76ers!

While March Madness captures the attention of sports enthusiasts, the NBA’s playoff race is heating up, particularly in the Western Conference where the Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Rockets are experiencing significant winning streaks.

Both teams will be competing on Sunday, and I’ve prepared some player prop bets for their games. Additionally, there’s a team in the Eastern Conference making strides in the play-in tournament standings that could be a solid bet as tonight’s favorite.

After a brief hiatus, I’m back with three suggested bets for Sunday’s NBA fixtures. Let’s dive in!

Top NBA Picks for Today

Odds provided by DraftKings Sportsbook.

• Jamal Murray OVER 19.5 Points (-120) – 0.5 unit
• Ivica Zubac OVER 28.5 Points and Rebounds (-125) – 0.5 unit
• Atlanta Hawks -10 (-108) vs. Philadelphia 76ers – 0.5 unit

Jamal Murray OVER 19.5 Points (-120) – 0.5 unit

With Nikola Jokic sidelined for the Denver Nuggets on Sunday, Jamal Murray is expected to play a pivotal role, especially after logging over 35 minutes in his recent return from an ankle injury.

Averaging 21.3 points this season, Murray is poised to lead the offense against Houston’s top-tier defense. He previously scored 22 points on just 14 shots in an earlier matchup against them this season.

Given the favorable odds and his role as the offensive focal point, betting on Murray tonight seems a prudent choice.

Ivica Zubac OVER 28.5 Points and Rebounds (-125) – 0.5 unit

Ivica Zubac of the Clippers has a prime opportunity against an injury-plagued Oklahoma City Thunder team that struggles with rebounding.

Earlier this season, Zubac delivered a 22-point, 14-rebound performance against the Thunder. His recent form has been impressive, averaging 21.1 points and 12.2 rebounds over the last 11 games.

With his consistent production, I’m confident in backing Zubac to exceed tonight’s prop bet.

Atlanta Hawks -10 (-108) vs. Philadelphia 76ers – 0.5 unit

The Atlanta Hawks are on a roll, winning seven of their last 10 games and currently holding a 1.5-game lead for the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Facing a Philadelphia 76ers team that struggles on the road and is mired in a losing streak, the Hawks are positioned for a decisive victory, especially considering the Sixers’ injury woes.

With the 76ers missing several key players, the Hawks are well-placed to cover the spread, despite it being a back-to-back game.
