Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Lakers
The Memphis Grizzlies have been eliminated from playoff contention for weeks but they haven’t let that stop them from competing at the highest level.
Of course, that hasn’t translated into wins, but they’ve at least kept it close. As for the Los Angeles Lakers, they should win, but with Anthony Davis still out, they might not dominate.
Pick: Grizzlies+17.5
Oklahoma City Thunder vs Milwaukee Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks suffered a massive blow when they lost Giannis Antetokounmpo to a non-contact injury. He should be back in time for the playoffs, but he’ll miss the remainder of the regular season.
That doesn’t bode well for their clash with the Oklahoma City Thunder, as they can still get the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference and are finally back to full strenght, so this game shouldn’t be close at all.
Pick: Thunder -14
Golden State Warriors vs New Orleans Pelicans
The Golden State Warriors have a slim chance to get to the No. 8 spot if they win out, and they’ve been one of the hottest teams in the league over their past 10 games or so.
The New Orleans Pelicans could be without Zion Williamson for this game, and the Warriors will get Draymond Green and Klay Thompson back after a one-game absence.
Pick: Warriors -4.5
Sacramento Kings vs Phoenix Suns
The Sacramento Kings are deflating towards the finish line. As good a team as they are, losing Malik Monk and Kevin Huerter was a big blow, and they still haven’t been able to adjust.
The Phoenix Suns have been the most disappointing team in the league this season, but they can still help their case in terms of seeding, so they must win this one.
Pick: Suns -4.5
San Antonio Spurs vs Denver Nuggets
The San Antonio Spurs have already mailed in the season. They rested most of their starters in their last game, and that should be the case again as they approach the season finale.
The Denver Nuggets need to win at least one more game to secure the No. 1 seed in the West, and squaring off vs this team gives them the perfect opportunity to do so.
Pick: Nuggets -12.5
