The NBA regular season is in the books, and I ended up 21 units on my daily NBA plays. Not too shabby. Now the fun begins, starting with our first two NBA Play-In games on Tuesday. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Tuesday, April 15th.
NBA Predictions & Preview For Tuesday, April 15th
Atlanta Hawks vs Orlando Magic
Start Time – 7:30 PM EST
Our first taste of the playoffs (kinda sorta) is the Atlanta Hawks visiting the Orlando Magic in a battle for the #7 seed, and a date with the defending champion Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs – what a reward. And while I expect the Magic to win and head to Beantown, they aren’t my pick here.
That’s because my line for this game is only Orlando -4. That means the value is on the visitors, the Hawks, plus the points on the spread.
Best Bet: Atlanta +5 (-105)
Memphis Grizzlies vs Golden State Warriors
Start Time – 10:00 PM EST
We get old vs young, big vs small in our late game tomorrow (also for the seventh seed), as the Memphis Grizzlies visit the Golden State Warriors. And, just like in the Eastern Conference game, I think the favorites will win yet I’m picking the dogs.
The Warriors have been steamrolling teams since adding Jimmy Butler, while the Grizzlies have been sinking like a stone heading into the playoffs. However, my line is Golden State -2.5, so Memphis plus the points is the play to make.
Best Bet: Memphis +7 (-110)
Overall Record: 164-129 (56%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $2,077.76
Return on Investment: 7%
