VSiN.com senior editor Zach Cohen has opinions on tonight’s opening NBA Play-In Games. No. 8 Hawks (+5) at No. 7 Magic, 7:30 pm ET. >Preview.  This is a game that should be pretty close throughout, but that’s why I like the idea of taking Atlanta with the points. When things get tough, I put more faith in Trey Young to create easy buckets than anybody else on the floor in this one. No. 8 Grizzlies (+7) at No. 7 Warriors, 10 pm ET. >Preview.

Well, the final round of Masters turned into match play, but not like we thought. Rory McIlroy won his first Masters title and completed the career Grand Slam, defeating Justin Rose in a sudden-death playoff. Bryson DeChambeau, paired with McIlroy in a much anticipated showdown, faded to a tie for fifth with a 3-over-75.  Matt Youmans summed up Sunday (especially for bettors):It’s tough to imagine a more dramatic final round than that. Rory lost it three times and won it four times.

McIlroy and DeChambeau will tee off in the final pairing at 2:30 p.m. ET on Sunday. >>Today’s tee times.
