Knicks I believe.
Can't wait for these first round matchups. 7-10 seeds in both conferences have Heat, 76ers, Warriors, Lakers and Suns. Thats some serious talent for last place teams in the playoffs.

Kings younger and possibly more talented squad vs those older more experienced teams in west play in is pretty interesting. Kind of like Indy vs the past few champs in the play in tournament.'
A long term Kings fan probably wants no part of running into LA in that play in bracket. Platinum Cyclone Grade nut cup should be at the ready.
Locked in Cyclone matchups in the East:
#6 Indy vs #3 Bucks (whom they outplayed even with Gianis)
#4 Cavs get home court against #5 Magic
TWovles and Monte in three way tie for first with three games tonight...would LOVE if anybody knows the tiebreaker scenarios there but with home court on the line through at least WCF these are massive games.

I'd have called it a coin flip even at full strength from the season series. Home court should still make it competitive. This Eastern conference basically boiled down to nobody wanting the 4/5/8 spot.
Who knew watching those battles we'd then see over a quarter century of pure SUCK for both franchises minus a brief glimpse of hope from DRose for Bulls fans.
Some business and/or psychology expert should write a book comparing the contrasting fortunes of the Knicks and Lakers.
If I were a gambler...and I'm not...everybody but Boston/Denver is such a massive underdog with today's lines.
I'd be tempted by Dallas and Minnesota, especially if Minnesota can get healthy in round 2 or WCF. Minnesota still has their best player and their other injured players aren't ruled out, unless I'm missing something. Dallas with just Doncic/Irving seems undervalued unless their lingering injuries are more serious than I know.
I'd like the Cavs in any individual series because of how hot they can get shooting in some games but not to actually get out of the east or win it all.

I hate the Lakers in general but that tech on Deangelo Russell is one of the weakest techs I’ve ever seen.
