The Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers can advance to the second round of the playoffs on Saturday by defeating the Orlando Magic and Portland Trail Blazers, respectively.
The Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets, meanwhile, are tied at 2-2. Rockets superstar point guard Russell Westbrook, though, is expected to play in Game 5.
The Utah Jazz are up 3-2 on the Denver Nuggets, the Los Angeles Clippers lead the Dallas Mavericks 3-2 and the Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics will begin their much-anticipated second-round series.
The 2020 NBA playoffs were thought to be toast on Wednesday after the Bucks boycotted their Game 5 against the Magic. However, the heated meeting on Wednesday night and Thursday morning apparently addressed everything, and now the 2020 playoffs are back on.
