Play in: (Guess the winner of each round. For the 8th seed rounds you don't need to have correctly guessed the loser, just the winner for those points).
Note: You cannot change your answer (RICK!) so your 8th seed game might not have teams still in it. You can also vote non-sensical outcomes if you want to hedge your bets or you still don't quite understand how the play-in works yet.
(1pt per guess, this round is the lowest points)

Yeah last year people mostly just scored 2-3 points in the play-in and people could have easily won the whole thing without any play-in points. Part of the reason I'm letting East predictions come in late is because it probably won't be a big impact either way.

First Round! There isn't much time between the end of Play-in and the start of the first round so I am putting this out now! You can just put "7 seed" if you think there will be an upset this year but don't know the team. You can also edit before the deadline. The Deadline for submissions is 12pm CDT Saturday

East
(1)Celtics vs (8 seed (Chicago or Miami))
(2) Knicks vs (7)Philly
(3)Bucks vs (6)Pacers
(4)Cavaliers vs (5) Orlando

West
(1) OKC vs (8 seed (Pelicans or Kings)
(2) Denver vs (7) Lakers
(3)Timberwolves vs (6) Suns
(4)Clippers vs (5) Dallas

1. What series will have the most 3pters made? (in Total, not average)
2. Which conference will have most games played?
3. A player will be ejected or suspended during Round 1 T/F? (Foul outs or 2 techs do not count. Action has to be done in the first round to count).
4. (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.
5. Jokic/Luka/Sabonis (if he's there)/Giannis Triple Double Push your luck. How many triple doubles will ONE of these players get? You will get as many points as you guess, but there needs to be that many or more triple doubles to count. You must name the SINGLE player you are pushing your luck.

For example: "Jokic with 3" gets 3 points if he records 3 or more triple doubles, but 0 points if he gets 0, 1 or 2 triple doubles.
