6:00PM CT: Atlanta Hawks vs. Orlando Magic -6; Total 220.5
We finally begin the NBA Playoffs with the Play-In Games. The winner of this games secures their ticket into the 7th seed. The Magic have had the Hawks’ number throughout the season. Not only that but Paulo Banchero has dominated them. The Magic offense has been known to go cold so it will be important for them to play the hard nosed defense they are known for. The Hawks’ offense will give them a run for their money tonight. I’m sticking with the hot Magic team that has had recent success vs. Atlanta.
Play: Magic -6 (-110) [via DraftKings]
9:00PM CT: Memphis Grizzlies vs. Golden State Warriors -7; Total 227.5
The Grizzlies have blown their last two games that were essentially playoff games. Against Minnesota and Denver. The main reason for their downfall has been the lack of defense and identity, other than gun toting, grenade throwing Ja Morant. I feel like the Grizzlies do miss Taylor Jenkins. Golden State has been playing some great basketball except for losing to the Clippers at home. I can’t trust the Memphis defense right now because they don’t play any.
