Neither of these teams will make the regular playoffs, but they both will be in the play-in round; it's just a matter of seeding. The Magic currently holds down the 7th spot, and the Hawks are 8th. The Magic has played well down the stretch as they are 6-2 in their last eight games. The Hawks are 2-5 in their last seven games, and they'll be without Jalen Johnson tonight. Trae Young is also dealing with an Achillies injury that may sideline him. Those two players account for 43 points, 13 rebounds and 16 assists. I like Orlando in this one.
