The Milwaukee Bucks are close to locking up home court advantage throughout the playoffs. Milwaukee has been the most consistent team in the league this season, and the Bucks are four games ahead of Toronto for the top spot with six games to play. There are some injury concerns that are rearing their ugly head though. Malcolm Brogdon is out for another month or so, and Giannis Antetokuonmpo’s ankle is bothering him again. The loss of Brogdon hurts, but the loss of Antetokuonmpo would be catastrophic.

Indiana Pacers at Boston Celtics (BOS -6.5, O/U 213.5)
This is probably going to be a playoff preview. Boston and Indiana is likely to be the 4-5 series in the Eastern Conference, and the only real question is which team will have home court. Boston is a sizable favorite in this game, and the Celtics probably have more talent. However, they have been coming apart at the seems in recent weeks and the locker room atmosphere isn’t great. The total has dropped by a half-point here.
Portland Trail Blazers at Atlanta Hawks (POR -3, O/U 234.5)
There has been a sizable play on the over here. The total in this game opened at 232.5, and it has since moved up a full two points. Atlanta has been in a lot of high scoring games this year, and it looks like sportsbooks can’t set totals high enough now. The over has hit in six of Atlanta’s eight games, and it is 43-32 on the season. Atlanta has given Trae Young the opportunity to run the show, and it will be interesting to see what Portland does with both CJ McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic out.
Denver Nuggets at Oklahoma City Thunder (OKC -5, O/U 221)
Oklahoma City is a pretty hefty favorite tonight. The Nuggets have the second-best record in the Western Conference, but they were crushed by Houston last night and now they must face a really good Thunder team. Oklahoma City is looking to finish anywhere other than No. 8, and the Thunder know a win is important here. This is a potential playoff match-up.
Golden State Warriors at Minnesota Timberwolves (GS -9.5, O/U 229)
The under has gone down by a point since this line opened. That’s a bit interesting considering what we have seen from Karl-Anthony Towns. Minnesota’s season may be over, but Towns is still dominating opponents. He has put up bonkers numbers over the last month, and he is averaging 27.8 PPG and 13.8 RPG over his last ten games. The Timberwolves have been sputtering at the end of the year, but Towns is at full throttle.
Washington Wizards at Utah Jazz (UTAH -12, O/U 226)
The total in this game has dropped by a half-point overnight. Although Washington is a team that can hit the three, the Jazz have a great defense and sharps think they can slow down Bradley Beal and company. The Wizards don’t have a ton to play for either. They kissed their playoff chances goodbye a couple weeks ago, and they may just be going through the motions. They have lost five of their last six, and the one win came against the lowly Suns.
Charlotte Hornets at Los Angeles Lakers (CHA -2, O/U 226)
This is a must-win for Charlotte if the Hornets hope to make the playoffs. They are 1.5 games out of the playoff picture, and they have mostly road games the rest of the way. The Lakers have been very beatable this year though, and they have lost seven of their last ten. The spread has moved from Charlotte -1.5 to Charlotte -2 overnight, but the Hornets are just 11-24 on the road this season. They have won six of their last ten though.
