NBA Playoff Power Shift: Thunder and Spurs Dominate, But Can Celtics, Knicks, and Pistons Shock the East?

NBA Playoff Power Shift: Thunder and Spurs Dominate, But Can Celtics, Knicks, and Pistons Shock the East?

Atlanta went 20-6 over the second half of the season and won the division by 1.5 games. The Hawks will face the Knicks in the first round of the playoffs and listed as modest +230 series underdogs. The Hawks led by Jalen Johnson, CJ McCollum, and the likely winner for Most Improved Player, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Atlanta upsetting the Knicks would not be that big of a surprise.

11. Los Angeles Lakers (53-29, +25000)

Talk about down bad. Luka Doncic (hamstring) and Austin Reaves (oblique) has been out since April 2. Reaves is two weeks into being out for approximately six weeks, so there is a chance the Lakers don’t have Reaves for a single playoff game. While Doncic should be back for the postseason, he may not be 100-percent and that makes this Lakers’ season seem like a lost year, which is not ideal for LeBron James.
