The details

Yin breaks down the reasoning behind each of his picks.

  • The NBA playoff action tips off tonight at 7:30 PM EST with the Hornets hosting the Heat, followed by the Suns hosting the Trail Blazers at 10 PM EST.

The players

Bam Adebayo

A solid rebounder averaging 9 RPG for his career and 10 RPG over his last five games, but faces a tough matchup against the rebounding-dominant Hornets.

LaMelo Ball

Averaging 20.1 PPG and has finished one of his healthiest seasons with 72 games played, coming into the playoffs in rhythm and looking to capitalize on a weak Miami defense.

Jrue Holiday

Bounced back this season, averaging 16.3 PPG with 6.1 APG, and is expected to have a strong scoring impact against the Suns.
