Jamal Mosley's team (41 wins, 41 losses) finished seventh in the East, and now they are ready to fight in the playoffs like lions for prey.

1.87Tip and bets
The bookies are betting on Orlando, saying they are the kings at home. But they're overreacting. Atlanta has already shown that it can play with Magic on equal terms — remember their last meeting. Both teams are without one leader, but their teamwork is already on the level, injuries in the past. The Hawks are a team with character, and they will come out fighting in the playoffs as if for the last chance. Snyder will set up the guys, and they will give a fight that will be remembered. Atlanta will catch on and not lose big — it will be a meat grinder, but with their signature.
Our betting tip is that Atlanta will win with a handicap of (+4.5) points, taking into account overtime in 1.82
Bet on the total
Atlanta and Orlando usually put on a show — 224 points on average over the last ten meetings. But this is a play-in, everything is at stake here! Both teams will be careful, playing for results, not beauty. Dunks and threes will wait — the main thing is victory. We are waiting for a tight game with an emphasis on defense.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 214.5 points, including overtime in 2.05
Bet on the first half
Orlando has won the first half in five of the last six meetings with Atlanta — they take off at the start like a rocket. And today they will start with a light at home to show the public who is the boss here. Mosley will set the guys up, and they'll set the tone right away. The first half is for Magic.
Our betting tip is that Orlando will win in the first half in 1.59
