Best NBA Odds and Trends for Every Game (Wednesday, March 20)
By Peter Dewey
After a lighter NBA slate on Tuesday, we're back with eight games on Wednesday night, including some potential playoff matchups.
The night kicks off with the Miami Heat taking on the Cleveland Cavaliers, in what could be a No. 3 vs. No. 6 matchup (I'm just projecting) in the Eastern Conference playoffs this season.
Plus, the two top teams in the East, the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks, are playing later on in the night, which always could be an Eastern Conference Finals matchup.
In addition to those four squads, the Los Angeles Clippers, Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers, Oklahoma City Thunder, Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns will all also look to improve their playoff standing.
This should be a fun night in the NBA, and the BetSided team has you covered with the best odds and trends to know for every game!

Boston has been dominating every team in its path, and now it takes on the No. 2 seed in the East, the Milwaukee Bucks, on Wednesday.

Sacramento Kings vs. Toronto Raptors Odds, Spread and Total
The Toronto Raptors are trying to navigate life without Scottie Barnes, and they've lost seven straight and nine of their last 10 coming into this matchup with the Sacramento Kings.

Utah Jazz vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Odds, Spread and Total
The Thunder won the last game between these teams in OKC by 14, and they’ve shown all season that they are elite as home favorites, going 19-10 against the spread.
The Jazz, on the other hand, are just 10-17-1 against the spread as road dogs, which is the fifth-worst record in the NBA.
Memphis Grizzlies vs. Golden State Warriors Odds, Spread and Total
Give the Grizzlies credit, they have been a great team to bet on the road this season, going 17-12 against the spread as a road underdog.
Plus, the team is actually 15-19 straight up on the season away from home, a shocking mark considering that Memphis is 23 games below .500.

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Phoenix Suns Odds, Spread and Total
The Phoenix Suns need a win to keep themselves in the mix for the No. 6 seed -- or higher -- in the West, but they are just 11-17-1 against the spread as home favorites this season.
Philly enters this game with a 8-8 ATS record as a road underdog.
Los Angeles Clippers vs. Portland Trail Blazers Odds, Spread and Total
The Los Angeles Clippers are in danger of falling into the No. 5 spot in the West, but the trends favor them as road favorites against Portland on Wednesday.
