ATL -4.0 (-110)
Atlanta has been the far better team, ranking 6th in net rating over the last 10 games compared to Orlando at 23rd. The Hawks have also dominated this matchup, going 3-0 straight up and ATS this season, including double-digit wins in the last two games. This is a brutal scheduling spot for the Magic, playing their second game of a back-to-back and third in four nights, with three of their starters playing minutes into the high 30s last night. Atlanta is on a 12-2 ATS tear as a favorite.

TOR -13.5 (-105)
This sets up as a strong bounce-back spot for Toronto, who can’t afford to slip further in the standings. We saw a similar scenario about a week ago when the Raptors lost to the Suns, then turned around the next night and beat the Jazz in Utah by 16. While recent form favors Toronto (10th vs 26th in net rating over the last 10 games), their home dominance stands out even more—they rank 3rd in net rating at home since the start of March. Sacramento, meanwhile, continues their race to the bottom, with five double-digit losses in their last seven games.
