Another week in the long haul that is the NBA season is wrapping up on Sunday with a 9-game schedule. It gets started with a couple of afternoon contests and then the Warriors will wrap things up at 8:30 pm ET against the visiting Timberwolves. Yes, March Madness may have center stage at the moment – but don’t forget about the association!

Grizzlies -6.5 alternate spread over Hawks (+176)
Ja Morant (personal) was out for a while and even before that Memphis had started to lose an unusual amount of games. Now, however, Morant has returned and the Grizzlies are back in business. They are on a 5-game winning streak heading into Sunday. This is the second and final head-to-head meeting of the season, with Memphis having rolled 128-103 back on December 12. Look for Ja Morant and company to get the best of Atlanta again and extend the current streak to 6 victories. They have averaged 130 points per game in their 5 recent wins while shooting better than 52 percent from the floor, which ranks #1 in the league during this stretch. Meanwhile, the Hawks played against Indian last night and they have lost 5 consecutive contests that were the second leg of back-to-back situations. Look for Memphis to win and win big.
Nets ML over Magic (+115)
This is the second head-to-head meeting of the season, with Brooklyn winning the first one 109-102. I think the Nets will win again, this time as small underdogs. Although Brooklyn is playing the second leg of a back-to-back situation, it will probably be happy to do so with so much momentum. The Nets outscored Miami 64-31 in the second half last night en route to a 129-100 romp. A red-hot Mikal Bridges contributed 27 points has scored at least 23 points in 7 of the last 8 games. The Magic are probably better than people thought they would be, that isn’t saying a lot. They are 5-9 SU in their last 14 as favorites, including 1-3 SU in the last 4.

Thunder -9 over Trail Blazers (-110)
With only 9 games remaining and 3.5 games separating these 2 teams in the standings (OKC is 36-38, Portland is 32-41), it appears the Trail Blazers are electing to reevaluate and start looking forward to next season. They have dropped 7 of their last 8 games and Damian Lillard has likely played his last game after sitting out Friday’s contest due to calf tightness. With little to play for, the Trail Blazers are better off avoiding any potential injuries by shutting down their star guard – who is averaging a career-high 32.2 ppg this season. Lillard won’t be the only player out today, as Jerami Grant, Jusuf Nurkic and Anfernee Simons are all sidelined. There is no reason to think this game will be competitive. The Thunder still have a lot to play for and should win this one by double-digits without breaking a sweat.
