Wizards @ Celtics

BEST: Celtics +2.0 (+100*) has a 51% probability

Both teams couldn’t be fielding teams further from their desired starting fives and this could really go either way. Our data says to take the Celtics at the spread for the best results.

Suggested Moneyline and Over/Under plays HERE

Kings @ Lakers

BEST: Lakers moneyline (-194*) has a 66% probability

At the time of publishing both LeBron (GTD) and Davis (GTD) are still likely to play and if that’s the case, our modelling can’t see the Lakers losing their final regular season game.

Bucks @ Grizzlies

BEST: Grizzlies moneyline (-152*) has a 57% probability

With Giannis suspended and the Grizzlies fighting for a playoff spot, we’re projecting Memphis to get the W.

Suggested Spread and Over/Under plays HERE

Mavericks @ Suns

BEST: Mavericks +8.5 (+100*) has a 53% probability

The Suns have more reason to win this one but with Luka on the court, the Mavs won’t die trying. Our data says they are more likely than not to cover.

Spurs @ Jazz

BEST: Jazz +8.0 (+100*) has a 53% probability

The Spurs could already be eliminated by the time this game tips off and if that’s the case they won’t have anything but pride to play for. Our model likes the Gobert-less Jazz to cover.

Suggested Moneyline and Over/Under plays HERE

Blazers @ Nets

BEST: Nets +9.5 (+100*) has a 56% probability

Lillard and the Blazers are the last of the potential playoff teams to play today and they could already be locked into the play-in tournament by tip off. Take the Nets at the spread.

Suggested Moneyline and Over/Under plays HERE

Pelicans @ Magic

BEST: Magic moneyline (-170*) has a 62% probability

Our data suggests that the Magic are an extremely strong chance of taking this one out. The Pelicans have been the disappointment of the restart and our computer thinks that will continue in this one.
