Top NBA Picks and Predictions for March 26 (Back Chicago, Expect Rock Fight In Miami on Saturday)
Looking to bet on the eight games in the NBA on Saturday?
BetSided's Donnavan Smoot and Reed Wallach have you covered with their favorite pick for tonight's action, with all odds via WynnBET:
Bulls vs. Cavaliers Prediction and Pick
When these two teams played two weeks ago, the Bulls were able to win by 10 points -- and that was without Zach LaVine. He's back in the lineup and should give the Cavaliers' defense a lot of fits.
Over the last 10 games, the Cavaliers and Bulls have had equally bad defenses. They rank 21st and 22nd in defensive rating. Cleveland has the better offense, but it truly depends on how efficient Darius Garland is. While he's picked up the slack for the Cavaliers' offense, some nights he can take a lot of shots to get there. Unless Garland is on top of his game tonight -- which will be hard with Alex Caruso guarding him -- the Bulls will get trounced tonight.
Chicago has won the last two matchups in this series, covering in both games it won. As the underdog tonight, expect another win and cover from the Bulls. -- Donnavan Smoot
Lean: Bulls ML (+110)

Nets vs. Heat Prediction and Pick
This line has moved swiftly towards Brooklyn and out of a range that I would like to play even though I think we see a motivated Nets team take out a potentially tired Heat club that played a taxing game on Friday night.
I'd much rather look towards the under. While the Nets have worlds of fire power with Durant and Irving, posting the best offensive rating in the league with both players on the floor, the Heat have a top five defensive rating and play at the second slowest pace.
For Miami to hang in this game it comes on the defensive end, the team is going to struggle getting into a shootout with Brooklyn's high octane offense. For what it's worth, the Heat are 14-6 to the under as underdog this season, signaling that when expected to lose they either focus on getting stops or simply struggle to hold up their end of the bargain to send the game over. -- Reed Wallach
LEAN: UNDER 230
