Hawks ML over Cavaliers (+100)
The Cavaliers could finish either 3rd or 4th in the Eastern Conference. A 3rd-place finish would have them on course to face Miami in the 1st round, while 4th would probably give them New York. In a best-of-7 series, I would rather go up against the Knicks. Cleveland isn’t tanking or even remotely thinking about tanking to get the #4 seed, but the motivation edge is with Atlanta. The Hawks are in an intense battle for play-in positioning and need every win they can get. When they are playing at home and not on the second leg of a back-to-back situation, they are pretty good. That will be the case tonight. It’s also worth noting that Danny Green is out with an illness and Raul Neto, Jarrett Allen, Dean Wade and Isaac Okoro are all questionable for the visitors. The Hawks should win this one outright.
Grizzlies -10.5 alternate spread over Magic (+145)
The Magic continue to outperform expectations. They have won 3 in a row and 4 of 5 even though it appears to be too little too late for them this season. They have also covered in 6 straight and 7 of 8, so hopefully you have not been ignoring Orlando. They are far from contenders but things are starting to come together for Orlando more. Guard Cole Anthony has been better of late and part of what they need is that improved performance from the backcourt.
The rollercoaster that is the Grizzlies’ 2022-23 season is back on the upswing. Ja Morant has returned and Memphis is on a roll to the tune of a 6-game winning streak and 9 victories in its last 10 overall. With a hot finish and a stumble by Denver, the Grizzlies could actually steal the best record in the Western Conference. Either way, this team should be supremely motivated to maintain momentum heading into the playoffs. Morant may not play tonight, but Memphis should still roll. The Grizz rarely lose at home and have just 5 losses at the Pyramid all season. They are also 22-13-2 ATS this season inside their own friendly confines.

Warriors -8.5 over Pelicans (-110)
No team has a more extreme home-road discrepancy than the Warriors. They are a dominant 30-8 at home and a laughably horrendous 9-29 on the road. There is no need to overthink this one: they are playing at home tonight. Golden State is 9-1 SU in its last 10 inside the Chase Center, a stretch that includes victories over the Clippers, Bucks, Suns, Mavericks, 76ers and none other than these Pelicans, by a 9-point margin. Meanwhile, the Pelicans are 14-24 SU on the road and they are without both Zion Williamson and Jose Alvarado. Alvarado’s services on the defensive perimeter would be especially useful in an attempt to contain Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Alas, the former Georgia Tech star is unavailable due to a shin injury. Look for Golden State to win big.
