Get highlighted plays for the NBA, baseball and soccer for Tuesday, April 26, and you can stream the show live every morning on the SportsLine YouTube page.

Coach starts things off with three SportsLine plays of the day, all from the NBA playoffs. The first is the Heat (-6.5) to cover against the Hawks (7 p.m. ET). "All three of the Heat's wins in the series have been by at least 10 points," he says.

The second play is the Grizzlies (-6) to cover against the Timberwolves (7:30 p.m. ET). "Minnesota is 1-6 against-the-spread in Memphis over its last seven," he says.

The final site play is Over 215.5 points in the Pelicans-Suns game (10 p.m. ET). "The Pelicans figured out very early in Game 1 that if they can speed up the pace and beat the Suns back on their defense then they can have some easy buckets," he says.

McClure has a three-leg parlay from the NBA playoffs: Heat moneyline, Grizzlies moneyline and Pelicans (+14.5) to cover the alternate spread (+145).

Barner has two NBA plays. The first is the Pelicans (+6.5) to cover against the Suns. "This series really changed with that [Devin] Booker injury," he says.

He also likes the Timberwolves to score Over 28.5 points in the first quarter against the Grizzlies. "[The Timberwolves] have scored at least 32 points in the first quarter of all four games, and they've averaged 36.3 points in the first quarter," he says.

For the second straight day Coach returns to the Rockies-Phillies series for his Cash with Coach play: Over 8.5 runs (6:45 p.m. ET). "We sailed Over in seven innings [on Monday]," he says. "We'll do the same thing again today."

Green closes out the show with two soccer plays. The first is Manchester City to cover the Asian handicap (-1) against Real Madrid in their Champions League semifinal (3 p.m. ET). "I think Manchester City will dominate possession," he says.

His final play is a two-team parlay: Exeter to beat Barrow and Wrexham to beat Weymouth (-108).
