Today is the last day of the NBA regular season, and there is still plenty to determine in terms of playoff seeding. There is only one playoff spot left, and that comes down to the Nuggets at Timberwolves game, whoever wins that is in; lose, and you go home. The first two seeds in the west are locked up, but the rest are still up for grabs, meaning we will be seeing full motivation from teams even in the last game of the season.

Damian Lillard (POR): $8,600 vs. UTA
Lillard and the Trail Blazers are on a four-game losing streak, and they have one final game to get some momentum before the playoffs start. Their seeding in the Western Conference is still up in the air, and the team they are playing, the Jazz, is the team right behind them in the standings. So simply put, this is a vital game for Portland to win and secure their spot.
Despite the Jazz being one of the better defensive teams in the league, Lillard has been very productive against them this season. In the three games he has played them, Lillard has averaged 39 minutes per game while putting up 48 DraftKings points per game. Very strong numbers from the All-Star, who should be in a spot to continue that performance tonight.
