As NBA 2024 Regular Season draws to a close, below are the top 3 games that we should target for player props today (click on the underline to get to relevant game betting).
Milwaukee Bucks @ Orlando Magic
Bucks could fall to #3 or #4 seed (if Knicks and Cavs win and they lose). They may even want to lose to Magic to avoid possible tough matchup against Sixers in next round (Yes, I lean Sixers over Heat in the Play-In).
Meanwhile, Magic could really use a win here in order to avoid the play-in. If they lose, they could fall to #7 or #8 seed.
Phoenix Suns @ Minnesota Timberwolves
Suns are trying to get a win to avoid play-in. They could move up to #6 seed if Pelicans lose to Lakers.
Wolves are chasing Thunder to move up to #1 seed (both are currently on 56-25). They could use a win here to hold off Nuggets (currently on 56-25 ?) for #2 seed too.
Los Angeles Lakers @ New Orleans Pelicans
Lots of implications from this game here (to themselves and other teams).
Lakers are trying to score a win to hold off Kings and Warriors (both on 45-36) to hang onto #8 seed.
Pelicans (49-32) would need a win to avoid play-in. If they lose and Suns win, they could fall to #7 seed and face either Lakers, Kings or Warriors in the play-in.
The other teams either have nothing to play for or even incentivized to lose so we recommend not touching those games.
