The best basketball league in the world, the NBA, continues its schedule for the 2021-22 season and, we are already entering the stage of the tournament where the teams begin to define their future in terms of their participation in the next postseason and thus be much closer to the grand final match.
Each game is very important for all the teams, at this point in the championship we only have the best and most consistent team in the league, the Phoenix Suns, classified for the playoffs. Meanwhile, in the Eastern Conference, we continue with the beautiful battle that the Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers, and Chicago Bulls are having to take over the first place in the table.
Another point to highlight at this time is the awakening of the Warriors, who had fallen into a terrible rut from which it had cost them a lot to get out and, it seems that now with the important streak of victories they have, they can be the fearsome and powerful team we are accustomed to.

While all the games are very important for each of the teams, if they are from the same division and are fighting at the top of it, they are much more important and, above all, much more exciting.
This game between Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers will be played this Wednesday, March 16, 2022, at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, home of the Cavaliers, at 06:00 pm ET.
Why bet on the Cavaliers
The Cavaliers have had a season of many ups and downs, at the beginning of the tournament they were the weak team that had shown a very low level of play in recent seasons, then they managed to bring out their talent and won many consecutive games to get closer to the top places in the Eastern Conference and, right now, they are in a situation where they haven’t been able to win more than 2 games in a row in the last few weeks.
The Cavs are in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, with a record of 39 wins and 29 losses, 5.5 games out of first place.
Why bet on the 76ers
For their part, the Philadelphia 76ers continue to show, like last season, their best possible level of play and, thanks to this, they are located at the top of the Eastern Conference standings, specifically in third place, with a very good record of 41 wins and 26 losses, just 3 games behind the Heat in the first place.
The Sixers come to this game after a loss in their last match against the Nuggets with a score of 110-114.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline for Philadelphia 76ers. If you put $100 on the Sixers at -105 you’ll be looking at a $95.24 win with a total payout of $195.24.
Cavaliers vs. 76ers Betting Pick: Philadelphia 76ers.

Although we will have a great game starting this NBA day with the Sixers vs. Cavaliers, this one between Utah Jazz and Chicago Bulls is not far behind. Although they are rivals from different conferences, both need to get many wins from now on if they want to write their name among the qualifiers for the next phase of this season.
Why bet on the Jazz
The Utah Jazz was one of the best teams in the league at one point this season, but like most teams, they hit a slump offensively and went from 2 games out of first place to 12 games out, so, we can see that they lost a very high number of games. The Jazz is currently in fourth place in the Western Conference, with a record of 42 wins and 26 losses. Utah is coming off losing its last game against the Bucks, with a score of 111-117.
Why bet on the Bulls
On the other hand, we have the Chicago Bulls, a team that has been consistent throughout the season, except when they have to play games against big teams. In those games, you can see a mental weakness on the part of the Bulls that prevents them from taking important victories.
The Bulls are fighting for first place in the Eastern Conference, with a record of 41 wins and 27 losses, just 3.5 games out of first place. They come to this game with the mission of getting back on the winning path since they lost their previous game against the Kings with a score of 112-103.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline for Utah Jazz. If you put $100 on the Jazz at -240 you’ll be looking at a $41.67 win with a total payout of $141.67.
Jazz vs. Bulls Betting Pick: Utah Jazz.
NBA Power Rankings: Warriors vs. Celtics
When: Wednesday, March 16 at 09:00 pm ET
Moneyline odds: Warriors -350 / Celtics +421 (Source: MyBookie.ag)
Where Can I Watch? ESPN / TNT
Although the season has been complicated for both teams to the point where the Celtics have come from less to more this season, while the Warriors have been the complete opposite, after being for many weeks in the first place of the Western Conference, they are now in third place and a long way behind the Phoenix Suns.
This game between Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics will also be played this Wednesday, March 16, 2022, at the Chase Center, home of the Warriors at 09:00 pm ET.
Why bet on the Warriors
The Warriors have suffered more than they imagined in recent weeks, as, after being at the top of the standings, they have dropped to third place after losing several consecutive games. These losses allowed the Suns to escape in first place in the table and prematurely qualify for the Playoffs. The Warriors currently have a record of 47 wins and 22 losses and are 12.5 games out of the top. Golden State comes into this match on a 4-game winning streak, the last one against the Wizards with a score of 126-112.
Why bet on the Celtics
On the other hand, we have the Boston Celtics, one of the teams that had accustomed us to being one of the best in the league and being in the playoffs every year. It seems that they have managed to achieve the necessary balance to be fighting for first place in their conference. The Celtics have woken up and are in fifth place in the East, with a record of 41 wins and 28 losses, 4 games out of first place.
The Celtics come from falling in their last game against the Mavericks with a score of 92-95.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline for Golden State Warriors. If you put $100 on the Warriors at -350 you’ll be looking at a $28.57 win with a total payout of $128.57.
Warriors vs. Celtics Betting Pick: Golden State Warriors.
