NBA Play-In Tournament Odds After the All-Star Game: Odds Entering 2nd Half of Season
As the second half of the NBA season gets underway, the NBA Play-In Tournament odds after the All-Star Game are beginning to take shape.
Four teams from each conference (seeds No. 7 through No. 10) will participate in the NBA Play-In Tournament between April 16-19 with the Atlanta Hawks and Dallas Mavericks leading the NBA Play-In Tournament odds in their respective conferences.
With about two months left in the season, each conference has five teams that are minus-money at our NBA betting sites to reach the NBA Play-In Tournament.

Hawks NBA Play-In Tournament odds (-750)
Record (seed): 26-29 (No. 8 in Eastern Conference)
It wasn't long ago that the Hawks were -950 to reach the NBA Play-In Tournament, so these odds could continue to lengthen in the coming weeks. While Atlanta has substantially shorter odds than every other team in the East, it's only three games back of the Detroit Pistons and the No. 6 seed.
With a $10 bet on this price paying just a $1.33 profit, there's next to no reason to back the Hawks. Despite there being almost no chance of them falling further than the No. 9 seed given how the Chicago Bulls (currently No. 10) and Philadelphia 76ers (No. 11) have been as of late, there's a reality where Atlanta climbs past both the Orlando Magic and Pistons to avoid the NBA Play-In Tournament.
Quin Snyder has this offense putting up the eighth-most PPG in the NBA (116.7), and its defensive rating is respectable at 15th (114.5). The loss of Jalen Johnson for the season is killer on top of the trade of De'Andre Hunter to the NBA championship odds contender Cleveland Cavaliers, but Trae Young remains an electric playmaker and Dyson Daniels is one of the league's top defenders.
Is it realistic for the Hawks to close the gap with Detroit? No. But these odds are too short to back right now, and I'd much rather wait to see if they continue to lengthen across our best sports betting sites.
The best value on the board in the East right now is the Magic (-195), who sit 2.5 games back of the Pistons and just a half-game up on the Hawks, but have far longer odds. If Orlando reaches the Play-In Tournament, a $10 bet pays a $5.13 profit.

Mavericks NBA Play-In Tournament odds (-280)
Record (seed): 30-26 (No. 8 in Western Conference)
The West is far more wide open in its NBA Play-In Tournament race with six teams within five games of each other. Sitting as the most likely team to reach it based on the odds is the Dallas Mavericks, with an implied probability of 73.68%.
The trade of Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers and subsequent groin injury to the newly acquired Anthony Davis could limit Dallas' ability to climb the Western Conference standings. Jason Kidd's team is two games back of the Los Angeles Clippers, who sit as the No. 6 seed.
Though that's not a large gap, the Mavericks are expected to be without Davis for multiple weeks, and he's not the only injured key player. Dallas is also down Daniel Gafford (knee) for at least six weeks and Dereck Lively II (ankle) for another few weeks. With so many injuries, I have a hard time seeing the Mavs leaping both the Clippers and Minnesota Timberwolves.
Kyrie Irving, P.J. Washington, and Klay Thompson - all of whom are day-to-day with injuries of their own - should be able to do enough to keep Dallas from slipping to the No. 11 seed though.
The Phoenix Suns currently sit as the 11-seed and are three games back of Dallas. But with a $10 bet on the Mavs paying just a $3.57 profit, the better play in the Western Conference is backing the Sacramento Kings (-150).
Sure, they traded De'Aaron Fox, but this lineup is full of talent with Domantas Sabonis, Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Malik Monk. If they can hold their lead over the Suns and Golden State Warriors, a $10 bet on them pays a $6.67 profit.
