Neither of these teams will make the regular playoffs, but they both will be in the play-in round; it's just a matter of seeding. The Magic currently holds down the 7th spot, and the Hawks are 8th. The Magic has played well down the stretch as they are 6-2 in their last eight games. The Hawks are 2-5 in their last seven games, and they'll be without Jalen Johnson tonight. Trae Young is also dealing with an Achillies injury that may sideline him. Those two players account for 43 points, 13 rebounds and 16 assists. I like Orlando in this one.

Premium Picks
Atlanta at Orlando
Atlanta is on a 6-3 run UNDER the total on the road after a 125-111 win at Washington. They prefer to run, but Orlando is a defensive-first team and is last in the NBA in scoring. The defense is second in points given up, while the offense is the 26th from the free-throw line. Orlando is on an 18-9 run UNDER the total, including 8-4 UNDER at home. Take Atlanta/Orlando UNDER the total.

Premium Picks
Orlando at Atlanta
These teams have played three close games this season and Atlanta has won two of them, including 106-104 on Jan. 17 while shooting 51 percent. The Hawks will be the more rested team in this matchup as they have played just once since the All-Star break and this will be the third game in four days for Orlando, which barely beat hapless Detroit on Saturday on a last-second shot by Paolo Banchero and the game stayed UNDER. The Hawks have gone UNDER their past two games and they are 24-5 UNDER versus teams with winning records. The Magic are 6-2 UNDER as favorites of 0.5-4.5 points and they have gone UNDER six straight Sunday games. Orlando is 14-17 straight up on the road. Take the Hawks as a Max Play and the UNDER.
