A look at the NBA Playoffs

The Western Conference will feature DeMarcus Cousins making his Playoffs debut with the Golden State Warriors. Should the Warriors successfully qualify for a fifth consecutive NBA Finals, they will join the Boston Celtics as the only team in NBA history to do so and the first team to accomplish five straight Finals appearances since 1966.

The Houston Rockets will also vie for the Western Conference championship, led by 2018 MVP and 2019 MVP candidate James Harden. Fellow 2019 NBA MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo will lead the Eastern Conference with the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks who finished the regular season with the best record in the NBA, and are looking for their first series victory since 2001. The Bucks will play against the Detroit Pistons, as Blake Griffin, the team’s power forward, recovers from an injury to his left knee.

The Celtics were the preseason favorite in the Eastern Conference to reach the NBA Finals, but will appear in the playoffs as the Eastern Conference’s fourth seed.  The Celtics are led by Kyrie Irving, who has six games with at least 30 points and 10 assists this season, the most in a season by a Celtics player since Larry Bird in 1987. The Celtics will face the Indiana Pacers in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.

The Oklahoma City Thunder enter the postseason looking to redeem themselves after losing in the first round of the NBA Playoffs in 2017 and 2018, and are led by Russell Westbrook, who finished with the third-most triple-doubles in a season in NBA history. The Oklahoma City Thunder will face the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round of the Playoffs.
