The NBA regular season is over, and the first round of the playoffs is set to begin on the weekend. Before that happens, we’ve got play-in tournament action to attend to.
The latest: Four teams per conference are competing for the Nos. 7 and 8 seeds, including Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors against Ja Morant‘s Memphis Grizzlies. The winner of that game will be a 7-seed, while the loser will host a do-or-die game for the final playoff spot.
Check out our basketball betting lines and NBA schedule for the play-in tournament on April 15-16.

Betting insights
- Orlando and Atlanta played twice in the final week of the regular season, and both teams got the win on their home court. The Magic cashed unders at the second-highest rate in the NBA (57.3%) this season, while the Hawks cashed overs at the second-highest rate (61.7%), per Team Rankings.
- Golden State went 3-1 against Memphis this season, which includes a pair of wins at home. In their most recent head-to-head matchup on April 1, Curry dropped 52 points (12-of-20 from 3-point range) and finished two assists shy of a triple-double in a road win.
- The Bulls are 3-0 SU against the Heat this season despite being the underdogs in each of those games. Chicago is only 18-23 at home, but an April push (6-1 overall this month) led to a home play-in game.
- Sacramento has the worst ATS record of all the postseason teams (34-44-4). But the Kings are 3-0 SU and 2-0-1 ATS against the Mavericks this season. Dallas went just 1-6 ATS in its final seven games, losing SU three times in that span as a favourite.
