Free NBA Picks For Friday April 15, 2022

Hawks vs. Cavaliers, 7:30PM ET

PICK: Hawks at the moneyline (-130)

After a strong year, the wheels have fallen off in Cleveland just a little bit with injuries to key personnel. One of those injured stars, Jarrett Allen - who is nursing a fractured finger - may return tonight, but we can't help but think that it might be an act of desperation to try and keep their postseason hopes alive. Allen originally sustained the injury on March 6, and as someone who has fractured a finger before, let me tell you that movement is an issue for at least 8 weeks - I don't care if he's got all the medical science behind him in the world - bones are bones and they take time to heal.

For the Hawks, they almost feel custom built for this kind of arena. Trae Young usually steps up to the plate in playoff basketball and he'll be relishing the opportunity to send another team packing. We're all over Atlanta here.

Most importantly though, you can bet the Hawks at the moneyline and lock in $200 as soon as a three-pointer is hit by either team! Much better than the -130 odds, right? Seriously, click below to lock in your $200 from BetMGM.

Pelicans vs. Clippers, 10:00PM ET

PICK: Clippers -4 (-105)

It's been a dream run for these Pels since the All-Star break, but it ends tonight. The Clippers have spent their entire year as an industrious fighter, having to get through the bulk of the season without Kawhi Leonard and without Paul George for a large chunk. But with PG now back, LA have found their offensive rhythm, averaging an insane 124 points per game since his return, while being able to lock down, giving up just a touch over 100 PPG over their last five. That's an huge differential. Clippers keep moving.

Think the Clippers offense will light it up? Bet the Clippers at the moneyline and lock in $200 as soon as a three-pointer is hit by either team! Seriously, click below to lock in your $200 from BetMGM.
