Free NBA Picks For Wednesday April 13, 2022

Hornets vs. Hawks, 7:00PM ET

PICK: Hawks at the moneyline (-195)

Trae Young was born for this. After taking his game to a whole new level in the Knicks series last season, Young has been waiting for another chance to put on a show like that. And the Play-In Tournament provides that very opportunity.

Although the Hornets have been impressive of late, the main criticism of the Hawks this season has been that they can seem unmotivated for games that they may have deemed as less important. This is not one of those.

As well as that motivation, they also have home court advantage tonight, something that Clint Capela recently said is very important to them.

“Whenever we play at home, we are much more confident, the energy is better, the focus is better,” Capela said. “To get that first game at home, it’s a huge advantage for us.”

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 -195 odds, hey? Seriously, click below to lock in your $200 from BetMGM.

Spurs vs. Pelicans, 9:30PM ET

PICK: Spurs at the moneyline (+190)

Of all of the short favorites over these two nights, the Pelicans seem the least certain to win. One big reason for that is the opposition, and in particular the legendary Gregg Poppovich.

Poppovich and the Spurs were some of the biggest advocates for the Play-In Tournament to even become a thing last season, with Pop recently explaining his mentality when it comes to competing as opposed to tanking.

"Frankly, I don’t know how I would go to my team and say, ‘Ok guys, we’re not going to complete the way we should,’ or how you’d get that across, or with a wink and a nod. I think you do the players a disservice if they’re not able to go out and perform at the best of their ability."

That determination to win, combined with his obvious talent in the X's and O's is why the Spurs are presenting great value tonight.

The BetMGM offer works even if the guy is on the other team to the one you've bet on! Bet the Spurs at the moneyline and lock in $200 as soon as a three-pointer is hit by either team - even the Pels! Seriously, click below to lock in your $200 from BetMGM.
