Celtics vs Heat again. Let's just say that Celtics are not about to let Miami take them down again. I might be wrong about the number of games in each series, but I'm pretty sure of the winners.

The Miami Heat and New Orleans Pelicans have joined the party. You can now pick them to beat the Thunder and Celtics (sorry, Howard).

The Mavericks lost one game more than the Clippers this season and they have identical 25-16 home records. One outscored opponents by 2.3 points a game, the other 3.3. Going with Dallas here because I was born 3 miles from the American Airlines Center.
The TBDs will become actual teams on the form tonight.
