NBA Playoff odds continue on Tuesday with two big games. First, the Atlanta Hawks visit the Orlando Magic in Game 1 of their second-round series. Later, the LA Lakers will host the Utah Jazz with a 1-0 series lead. Here are your free picks:
Atlanta Hawks at Orlando Magic (-9) – 8:00 p.m. ET on TNT
The Hawks were surprisingly tested in the first round, needing seven games to put away the scrappy Milwaukee Bucks. Atlanta came through when it mattered, though, winning back-to-back games by an average of 17.5 points after losing three straight. The Hawks covered both games, improving their record to 7-3 in their past 10 games on NBA odds. Hitting the road against Orlando could pose some problems, as Atlanta is just 5-5 against the spread in its last 10 games away from home.
Orlando is nice and rested after sweeping Charlotte. The Magic are enjoying a very impressive tear, winning each of their past 10 games and covering nine of them at the sportsbook. Orlando has also won nine consecutive games at home, going 6-2-1 against the spread in that span.
The Magic are rested, but they’ll also probably show a little rust. After being scared in the first round, the Hawks will come out gunning in this one.
Pick: Atlanta
Utah Jazz at Los Angeles Lakers (-6.5) – 10:30 p.m. ET on TNT
The Lakers took Game 1 of the series 104-99. While it was the team’s third straight win, it was yet another failure for sports betting fans, as Los Angeles failed to cover; LA is 2-7-1 in its last 10 games on NBA odds. Similar trends stand out at the Staples Center—while the Lakers are 8-2 in their last 10 home games (including five straight wins) they’re just 3-7 against the spread in the same span.
The Jazz survived their first-round series with Denver despite a wave of injuries, but they might not be so lucky this time around. Utah did cover in Game 1, though, and the team is a rock-solid 5-2 in its last seven games against the spread. Most of Utah’s problems have come on the road, where the team is 5-5 on NBA betting odds in its last 10 games.
The Lakers are finally putting things together. It was only a matter of time before Kobe Bryant woke up.
