Hawks vs Magic Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tuesday’s NBA Play-In Game

The Orlando Magic and Atlanta Hawks have seen a lot of each other this month. Tuesday’s Eastern Conference Play-In game is the third meeting between these teams in the past eight days.

Atlanta beat Orlando 117-105 at home in the season finale Sunday, albeit with both teams resting all their key players, so there’s not much you can take away from that clash. However, their big guns battled back on April 8, with Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu tying his career high with 30 points in a 119-112 road loss.

With playoff pressure ramping up the intensity — and the total dropping — my Hawks vs. Magic predictions and NBA picks don’t see a repeat performance from Atlanta’s forward in Orlando on April 15.

Who will win Hawks vs Magic?

The Magic are 5-point home favorites, and the outright odds give them an implied win probability of almost 67%. Before Sunday’s meaningless finale, Orlando did win two of the previous three matchups with Atlanta, and I expect the Magic to win this one at home Tuesday.
