The props are up because some players might want to select teams and players from the Celtics/Raptors series. They can only be chosen before game 1 starts (though the form doesn't enforce this limit).

Howard_T: Just to confirm, those players are the ones you'd pick even if all four series were starting, correct?

Affirmative, sir.

I think the Bucks need to play a lot better against the Heat than they did against the Magic. If Miami is near the top of their game, then Bucks will need to play nearly as well as they can. I have to go with them, but an upset would not surprise me. Thus, my picks will follow.
