East:
Milwaukee vs Washington
If you like points – and let’s be honest who doesn’t? – then this matchup would be for you. Milwaukee and Washington both rank in the top 10 in points per game. Milwaukee ranks top 5 in the league in three pointers taken per game. With Giannis being a creator, it’s hard to not get open looks when that man is going to the lane.
Washington ranks top 10 in points, but they rank in the bottom half of the league in threes. They prefer to get this done from two point range. Getting the Wizards into the playoffs would also mean getting my guy, Bradley Beal, into the postseason, and off of the internet as a meme.
