Here is what the data is telling us for today's NBA games ⏬
Wizards @ Hawks
BET: 🔥 Washington Wizards at the spread with PointsBet (+100)
📈 53.2% probability
The Wizards and Hawks face off for the second time in three days here, and we're taking the Russell Westbrook-led team at the spread.
Last time out, the Atlanta Hawks won by just one point and honestly, with Russ in the mood he's in, we can't see this one being too different of a result.
The current spread favors the Hawks by 7 points which definitely seems like a stretch, even when considering how good they've been this season.

Pelicans @ Mavericks
BET: 🔥 New Orleans Pelicans at the spread with DraftKings Sportsbook (-110)
📈 53.1% probability
Another dog at spread here, with the Pels looking goof to cover against the Dallas Mavericks.
The Mavs are of course still fighting to avoid the play-in tournament, whilst the Pels are on their last chance of actually qualifying for it.
BI is currently a GTD for NOLA, but even if he and Zion both miss, they should be able to keep this one to single figures as they fight to keep their season alive.
Heads up, this Friday is Free to Bet Day with DraftKings Sportsbook! That's the holiday that celebrates the repeal of PASPA, the law that allowed states in the US to offer sports betting.

Trail Blazers @ Jazz
BET: 🔥 Jazz at the spread with BetMGM (-110)
📈 51.9% probability
Last but certainly not least we have the West-leading Jazz to cover the spread against Dame and the Portland Trail Blazers.
Rarely does our predictive analytics model suggest betting a favorite at the spread, but here we are!
Things appear to falling into place for the Lakers to avoid the play-in and a loss here for the Blazers would keep that rolling.
To best use this pick, you can't go wrong when signing up to BetMGM where new customers you can cash in even if your bet doesn't win!
Simply deposit $20 into your account, place your bet, and then wait for the money to come in, regardless of the result! It's free money.
