The Orlando Magic face off against the Atlanta Hawks in a high-voltage matchup for the right to play the Celtics as the 7-seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs.

Magic vs. Hawks Player Props for Tuesday, April 15
- Dyson Daniels Over 10.5 Rebounds + Assists
- Trae Young to Record a Double-Double
- Paolo Banchero Over 44.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Dyson Daniels Over 10.5 Rebounds + Assists
Magic vs. Hawks, 7:30 p.m. ET
Dyson Daniels has hit over 10.5 rebounds + assists in 12 of 15 to end the season. One of the unders was against Orlando, but in a playoff game, the main characters will play more minutes.
Daniels was at sub-34 that night, and it wouldn't surprise me if he closes in on 40 here. He averaged over seven rebounds and over five assists over the last month of the season, and I like him to start us off here.
Pick: Dyson Daniels Over 10.5 Rebounds + Assists (-130)
Trae Young to Record a Double-Double
Magic vs. Hawks, 7:30 p.m. ET
A Trae Young double-double isn’t a gimme, but he recorded one in 11 of his final 12 games this season.
