Fyi, the play in is the least points by far. Last year I won with an overwhelming 3 points this round. It's designed to not be a big impact (like the real play in).

So now I don't know what you had prior to editing which means edited scores should be zero. Did people only edit their game 3s?

Sorry for this being late, I honestly thought the first round started Sunday. Because of that you can post predictions or make edits until 3pm CST Saturday

Correctly guessing the winner is worth 1 pt this round, guessing number of games is worth 1 pt (must guess winner to get points for games, so guessing a Celtics sweep doesn't get you points when Trae takes them down in 4).

So your guesses should be "Kings in 4" unless you think the Warriors can steal one by blind luck, then you guess "Kings in 5"

Extra questions are worth 1pt unless otherwise noted.

East

(1) Bucks vs (8) Heat
(2) Celtics vs (7) Hawks
(3) 76ers vs (6) Nets
(4) Cavaliers vs (5) Knicks

West

(1) Nuggets vs (8) TBD
(2) Grizzlies vs (7) Lakers
(3) Kings vs (6) Warriors
(4) Suns vs (5) Clippers

1. What series will have the most 3pters made? (in Total, not average)
2. Which conference will have most games played?
3. Jokic will score a triple double. T/F
4. Donovan Mitchell will average 30ppg (T/F)
5. (2pts)Who will have the highest scoring average in the first round? +3 additional pts if the player has never been on an all-star team.
