As the dust settles on the regular season, these teams are poised to make their mark, each player ready to battle for the coveted Ring.

This Sunday, the playoff stage amps up, including matchups between the No. 1 vs. No. 8 seeds in each conference, as well as the No. 2 versus No. 7 – a veritable feast for basketball fans and sports writers alike. I’ve seen my fair share of upsets and Cinderella stories, surprisingly similar to how underdogs in digital marketing can sometimes outrank the giants with the right strategies in play.
