The 82-game regular season grind is complete, meaning it's now time for the NBA playoffs.

Everyone has thoughts and predictions this time of year, and our staff of NBA betting experts is no different. So, we conducted a poll to see just how everyone is feeling as we head into the NBA playoffs.

NBA Playoff Predictions

Remember, these are straight picks, not bets. They do not factor in price and simply reflect who our staff believes will win the Eastern Conference, the Western Conference, and, of course, the NBA Finals.

As you can see, we have a lot of faith in the Thunder to make another deep run, but we're not discounting the Spurs or Nuggets either. In the East, there's a bit more consensus, with the staff mostly targeting the Knicks and Celtics. However, Brandon Anderson feels the Cavaliers have some life, too.

NBA Futures Best Bets

Picks are great, but bets are what we do best at Action Network, and we know you also want some picks. So, we did that too. We also asked our staff for their favorite NBA playoffs futures bet, and compiled those responses — including two plays at +1000 or better — below.
