The Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets tip off the postseason with their 2:30 pm tilt on Saturday. The rest of the cards on that day feature the Golden State Warriors against the L.A. Clippers, the Denver Nuggets versus the San Antonio Spurs, wrapped up by the matchup featuring the Toronto Raptors and the Orlando Magic.
Meanwhile, battles between the Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons, Portland Trail Blazers and Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets and Utah Jazz, along with the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers all kick off on Sunday.
Giannis Antetokounmpo and James Harden, this year's top MVP favorites, are all geared up to continue their blistering 2018-19 runs. The Golden State Warriors will once again turn on their playoff mode that now boasts of DeMarcus Cousins. Teams like the Nets, Magic, and Nuggets are out to prove to everyone that their inclusions are no flukes.
This year's edition will be deprived of LeBron James' presence as the Los Angeles Lakers were already out of contention weeks ago. Still, the remaining cast of names has enough star power to keep the adrenaline and anticipation pumping.
