The NBA Playoffs are starting, and there are some great matchups with potential upsets. The opening matchups are very good; stars will be going back and forth and playing very competitively. A big matchup is the Lakers versus the Rockets: LeBron and the Lakers are struggling because Luka and Reaves are out with recent injuries. LeBron and his son Bronny will have to carry the Lakers as they try to take on KD and the Rockets.
There was already a great game between the Hornets and the Heat that went into overtime and ended 127–126 in favor of the Hornets, who took down the Heat in an epic contest. The favorites and one seed are the Pistons and the Oklahoma City Thunder, as they have had a great season and hope to continue it into the playoffs. The Thunder are the defending champions and hope to defend their title, although the Spurs are strong competitors and have beaten OKC multiple times this year.
There will be many amazing, close games that come down to the wire, as all teams have high hopes of winning the title this year.
