Milwaukee Bucks -7.5 over Chicago Bulls (-112)
Last night’s win at Washington, combined with a Boston Celtics loss at Philadelphia, means that Milwaukee clinches the number 1 seed throughout the playoffs with a victory against the Chicago Bulls. With 15 wins in 18 games and a 31-8 SU record at home, you won’t find many better teams in the NBA this season than the Bucks. They beat the Bulls by 12 points the last time they met, which was their 16th win in the last 20 meetings between the two teams.
Chicago missed the opportunity to take over the 7th seed last night as they lost to Atlanta, which means they’re pretty much locked into the 10th seed barring a miracle over the last 3 games. Their road form has been questionable all season long, hence why they are 7.5-point underdogs in tonight’s game. With a healthy and motivated Giannis and Jrue Holiday, the Bucks should be able to win this one by at least 8 points.
Memphis Grizzlies ML over New Orleans Pelicans (+200)
Both the Grizzlies and Pelicans will be playing on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. Memphis won their game against Portland by 10 points, while the Pelicans were beaten quite easily by the Sacramento Kings 121-103. That means with just 3 games to go, the Grizzlies clinch the number 2 seed with a victory here and I must say I really like their chances. They’ve beaten the Pelicans in 5 of the last 6 meetings, including the 2 most recent games played. Plus with 9 wins in their last 11 games, they are clearly the more in-form team right now.
New Orleans hasn’t had the best of times when playing on 2nd nights of a back-to-back, going just 4-7 SU in 11 games this season. The Grizzlies have a winning record at 6-5 SU in that scenario, so that’s another factor to consider here. With Sacramento also in action tonight against a struggling Dallas side, Memphis has more than enough motivation to go after a win and clinch the number 2 seed in the West.

LA Lakers ML over LA Clippers (+128)
With the Clippers leading the regular season series 3-0, this is a must-win game for the Lakers if they want to take over the 6th seed in the West. There are currently 3 teams eyeing the 6th spot as it would give them Sacramento in the first round of the playoffs, a team that doesn’t have much playoff experience. This might be the most meaningful game between the Lakers and Clippers since LeBron James arrived in LA. Facing the Clippers has been a nightmare for the King, and the “other” LA team is on a 10-game win streak right now ever since Ty Lue took over as head coach. This would be the perfect time to end that losing streak, especially after last night’s close win over Utah in OT.
The Lakers are the best defensive team in the league since the trade deadline, plus they’ve won 70% of their games in the last 20 played. The Clippers might have the rest advantage here, but missing Paul George will be huge for them. I’m expecting a defensive battle here and the Lakers to squeeze it out by a couple of points.
