Orlando Magic vs. Atlanta Hawks (7:30 AM)
Standings: Magic #7 vs. Hawks #8
Series: Tied 2–2
Key Insights:
It’s win or go home in the East. The Magic and Hawks are locked in a tense battle for the 7th seed. The victor earns a date with the top-seeded Celtics, while the loser faces either Miami or Chicago for a final shot at the playoffs.
These two teams haven’t faced off in the playoffs since the 2011 Eastern Conference First Round, when the Hawks sent the Magic home in six games. Now, a new generation of stars looks to write the next chapter.
Players to Watch:

💡 DFS Tip: Banchero is expected to be a high-volume scorer and a popular captain pick, but don’t overlook Atlanta’s edge in assists and steals. Trae Young is a strong captain option, while Okongwu and Franz Wagner offer sneaky value for rebounds.
Final Takeaways:
- Warriors vs Grizzlies: The offensive firepower of Memphis is hard to ignore, but Golden State’s experience could prove key. Target Curry and Ja for your top spots. Desmond Bane offers high ceilings at mid-tier prices
- Magic vs Hawks: While Orlando holds the defensive edge, Atlanta’s passing and pace make them fantasy gold. Stack key scorers and playmakers like Young, Banchero, and Franz Wagner.
