Total Points: 243

The Milwaukee Bucks will head to the Barclays Center to take on the Brooklyn Nets in a possible first-round Eastern Conference Playoffs matchup. The Bucks hold a 2-1 season series lead, with this being the final game against one another. Power forward Kevin Durant has been doing incredible in his two games this season against Milwaukee as he is averaging 30.5 points, 10 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.5 blocks, and 0.5 steals per game. Go with the Brooklyn Nets to cover the spread at home and the under to hit as it is 9-2-1 in their last 12 games against one another.

Team Favored and Spread: ATL -5.5

Total Points: 222

The Cleveland Cavaliers will head to the State Farm Arena to take on the Atlanta Hawks in a possible Eastern Conference play-in tournament matchup.

Point guard Trae Young has been doing exceptionally well in his last nine games as he is averaging 30.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 10.9 assists, and 1.7 steals while shooting 49.2 percent from the field. The Cavs are without point guard Rajon Rondo (ankle), power forward Dean Wade (knee), center Jarrett Allen (finger), and center Evan Mobley (ankle) and sliding in the standings.

Team Favored and Spread: CHI -3.5

Total Points: 223

The Los Angeles Clippers will travel to the United Center to take on the Chicago Bulls in a non-conference matchup.

Paul George is back for the Clippers and played 31 minutes in his return, so it will be interesting to see how he does here. The Clippers are 1-4 Against the Spread in their last five games, as well as the over-hitting in four of the previous five matchups so go with those to hit in this game.

Los Angeles Lakers at Utah Jazz (10 p.m.)

Team Favored and Spread: UTA -13

Total Points: 225

The Los Angeles Lakers are trying to stay in the playoff hunt as they head to the Vivint Arena to take on the Utah Jazz. With LeBron James (ankle) questionable and Anthony Davis (foot) doubtful, Los Angeles has to depend on Russell Westbrook to lead the way.

He has been relatively quiet against Utah this season, as in his two games, he is averaging 16 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and a steal. The Lakers are 8-2 Against the Spread in their last 10 games against each other and the under hit in four of their previous five games. All in all, go with the Lakers to cover the spread and the under to hit.
