NBA Play-In Tournament betting tips: Magic, Kings show identity in playoff race

The NBA Play-In Tournament begins on Tuesday, April 15, and Sports News Blitz’s George Dempsey is here to provide you with the best betting tips and picks that money can’t buy.

That’s right, it’s play-in time - the time of the year when all the teams who weren’t quite good enough to make the cut crash the postseason party like a bunch of extended family at a wedding.

After snatching hope from the jaws of mediocrity and throwing it against the wall to see if it sticks, the tournament tips off with a doubleheader, where the Orlando Magic host the Atlanta Hawks, followed by the Golden State Warriors welcoming the Memphis Grizzlies.

The fun continues on Wednesday night as the Chicago Bulls and the Miami Heat clash in a pick-em’ contest, with the Sacramento Kings hosting the Dallas Mavericks to cap off the first round.
