Grizzlies vs Lakers Quick Bet to Make
Rui Hachimura is our guy tonight. We are going with him getting at least 15 points. LeBron and AD are both questionable. If they do not play, he will definitely get more minutes. He is averaging 18 points in his last 10 games. He scored 23 points against the Grizzlies earlier this season. Last time he faced the Grizzlies, Hachimura scored 32 points.
The facts speak for themselves, Hachimura getting at least 15 points is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Rui Hachimura over 14.5 points @+100 @FanDuel
Philadelphia 76ers vs Orlando Magic Best Bet
7PM EST
Philadelphia, PA
Wells Fargo Center
For April 12, 2024, we will look at the game between the Philadelphia 76ers vs Orlando Magic from Philadelphia. Both teams are fighting for the best playoff spot, so we expect a high-quality game tonight.
Joel Embiid is back for the 76ers. With him and Tyrese Maxey back in the lineup, the 76ers are one of the contenders again. They have won 6 straight games and are looking to improve their record tonight. If they win tonight, the 76ers would have the same record as the Magic and would be tied for 6th seed. The 76ers should be up higher, but the injuries ruined their record this season.
The Orlando Magic have been struggling offensively. They have lost three out of their last five games. There was also one terrible loss against the Hornets, where the Magic just did not show up. This is a must-win game for them, if they want to avoid the play-in tournament. They lost their last two games against the Rockets and Bucks. In their last game, the Magic shot poorly and were not a threat offensively.

Robert Covington (knee)

Franz Wagner (ankle)
Kyle Lowry (knee)
76ers vs Magic Best Bet to Make
Last time these teams played, the 76ers won 124-109 in Orlando easily. The 76ers also won their last head-to-head meetings. With Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey back in the lineup, the 76ers should be at the top of the East. The Magic are a young team and will probably fumble under the pressure tonight.
That being said, the 76ers to win by at least 8 points is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Philadelphia 76ers -7.5 @1.91 @bet365
