It’s Sunday, April 13, and the Orlando Magic (41-40) and Atlanta Hawks (39-42) are all set to square off from State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
The Magic are currently 19-21 on the road with a point differential of 0, while the Hawks have a 7-3 record in their last ten games at home. Orlando is 2-1 against Atlanta this season and won the most recent matchup, 119-114.
Atlanta and Orlando are locked into the No. 7 and No. 8 seeds of the Eastern Conference, so the two will play on Tuesday night in Orlando. The winner of that game will be the No. 7 seed and play the Celtics in the first round, while the loser will have to play the winner of the No. 9 and No. 10 seed matchup (Chicago/Miami) to see who plays the Cavaliers.

Expert picks & predictions for Sunday’s Magic vs. Hawks game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Under:
“Both teams are locked into meeting each other in the play-in tournament, so I have to lean the Under here. These teams met a little over a week ago and combined for 231 points and now that they know they are playing each other, I’d expect neither side to want to show their cards much or tire out the starters. It’s under or pass.”
