To the surprise of many, the Hawks are the most in-form team in the NBA today. The Quin Snyder-coached squad recently improved to 35-31, as they’re on an eight-game winning streak to take the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.
Atlanta still have a long way to go to secure a Top 6 seed in the Eastern Conference, so they must keep stacking wins in the next few days. The NBA 2026 odds expect them to see their unbeaten run end soon, but the Hawks will use it as motivation when they host the Bucks on Saturday afternoon for the fourth game of their five-game homestand.
Elsewhere, the Nets, Hornets, Wizards, Magic, Nuggets, and Kings will visit the Sixers, Spurs, Celtics, Heat, Lakers, and Clippers as part of tomorrow’s seven-game slate. Continue reading below as SBOTOP covers the Top 3 matches on the menu.
Milwaukee Bucks @ Atlanta Hawks
Since their blowout loss to the Heat in mid-February, the Hawks have gone undefeated. During their unbeaten run, several players have stepped up, especially with former star guard Trae Young getting traded to the Wizards.
Jalen Johnson has been instrumental to the Hawks’ rise. During the Hawks’ 108-97 win over the Nets on Thursday, the 24-year-old forward flirted with a triple-double, notching 21 points (team-high), nine rebounds, nine assists, two steals, and four three-pointers on 7-for-15 shooting from the field in 36 minutes. Zaccharie Risacher, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, CJ McCollum, and Onyeka Okongwu also chipped in 19, 18, 14, and 13 points.
The Hawks will be without Jonathan Kuminga, whom they acquired in a trade with the Warriors last month. The one-time NBA champion has only played in four games for Atlanta so far. On the other hand, Dyson Daniels is not listed on the injury report.
The Bucks are stuck in 11th place after losing three straight. They’re fresh from a 112-105 loss against the Heat on Thursday, despite Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 31-point performance. Antetokounmpo (calf), assuming he’s fit, will certainly do his part tomorrow, but we’re not so sure about the others.
Betting tip – Giannis Antetokounmpo Over (Points) 28.50 @ 1.85
Orlando Magic @ Miami Heat
The Magic and Heat will face off for the fifth and final time tomorrow, as these Southeast Division rivals are both keen to extend their winning streaks. Orlando have won six straight and Miami have won seven straight.
The Magic are coming off a 136-131 overtime win against the listless Wizards on Thursday, extending their longest winning streak of the season. Jalen Suggs led the team in scoring with 28 points, four rebounds, eight assists, and two steals on 10-for-17 shooting in 34 minutes. Tristan da Silva, Desmond Bane, Wendell Carter Jr., Paolo Banchero, and Jett Howard also poured in 26, 22, 19, 18, and 10 points. Franz Wagner (ankle), Anthony Black (abdomen), and Jonathan Isaac (knee) remain long-term absentees for Orlando.
After witnessing Bam Adebayo’s historic 83-point performance against the Wizards, the Heat followed it up with a win against the Bucks on Thursday. Pelle Larsson was their leading scorer with 28 points, six rebounds, and six assists on 9-for-14 shooting from the field in 38 minutes. Adebayo was brought back to Earth with 21 points and eight rebounds. Kasparas Jakucionis and Davion Mitchell added 18 and 13 points.
The Heat are also shorthanded heading into tomorrow’s game, as Andrew Wiggins (toe) and Nikola Jovic (back) are inactive. Tyler Herro (quad) and Norman Powell (groin) are iffy to play, but Dru Smith (hip) is upgraded to probable.
Betting tip – Miami Heat Asian Handicap -4.00 @ 2.02
Denver Nuggets @ Los Angeles Lakers
While the Top 2 seeds in the Western Conference are taken by the Thunder and Spurs, there’s a bloodbath between the third and sixth seeds, and the Lakers and Nuggets are among them.
At the time of writing, the Lakers are ahead of the Nuggets in the standings, following a 142-130 win against the Bulls on Thursday. Luka Doncic produced countless NBA 2026 highlights, dropping 51 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists, three steals, and nine three-pointers on 17-for-31 shooting. Austin Reaves, Deandre Ayton, LeBron James, and Rui Hachimura added 30, 23, 18, and 15 points.
The Nuggets are coming off a 136-131 win against the Victor Wembanyama-less Spurs. Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic combined for 70 points, and Spencer Jones, Cameron Johnson, Christian Braun, and Julian Strawther contributed 19, 15, 11, and 10 points. Aaron Gordon’s impending on-court return should give Denver a massive boost.
Betting tip – Denver Nuggets Asian Handicap -3.00 @ 2.02
