NBA Picks for Tues, April 17
The PO has been kind of weak down the stretch here, but I have found another one:
ATLANTA +2 (I think we see an inspired performance from the Hawks tonight as they close out their season on their home floor; as for the Pacers, they have pretty much been a joke since the All-Star break; don't expect much of anything from this team tonight as they have been eliminated from the playoffs; Indiana was a team that was expected to be in the playoffs this year, and they just fell apart after the trade; time to blow this team up again)
L.A. CLIPPERS +3.5 (the Clips will stay alive tonight; we shouldn't see too much of the Phoenix stars in this one; as a matter of fact, if the Clips were not to win tonight, then they don't deserve to be in the playoffs)
