Philadelphia 76ers -2.5 (vs Orlando Magic) @ 10/11
First up, we've got an Eastern Conference clash between the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic for the seventh seed and a chance to take on the Boston Celtics in the first round. The loser will suit up again and take on the Charlotte Hornets for the eighth seed in an all-or-nothing clash.
The two teams split their recent match-ups, suggesting a closely-fought encounter is on the cards here. Orlando bring size and defensive stability, while Philly have speed and plenty of firepower which can flip a game on its head in a hurry.
Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner are the standout players for the Magic, giving them a bruising frontcourt that can trouble any defence. However, I'm backing Philly to edge out their opponents, as they have home-court advantage and I don't believe Orlando have anybody who can deal with the explosiveness of Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey.

Los Angeles Clippers -6.5 (vs Golden State Warriors) @ 1/1
Next, we're heading to the Eastern Conference as the ninth-seed LA Clippers host the 10th-seed Golden State Warriors at Intuit Dome. The message for both teams is simple - win and you keep your season alive; lose and you'll be heading home.
The regular season has been frustrating for the injury-plagued Warriors, while the Clippers started poorly but finished the campaign strongly.
Steph Curry's recent return is a welcomed boost for Golden State, but their roster remains decimated by injuries. Steve Kerr is an experienced head coach and he can keep this tie competitive, but the Warriors' young core doesn't have the answers to deal with Kawhi Leonard's two-way impact, Darius Garland's elite playmaking and Bennedict Mathurin's scoring ability.
The hosts take this one for me, and close the book on Golden State's season.
