Summary

In today's episode of Oddball, Amin and Izzy turn to the pressure grid to build you an NBA Playoffs Cheat Sheet. We've got teams with the best shot at a title, like the Thunder, Celtics, and Cavs, on the right, with the pretenders on the left. Teams under the most pressure to win go at the top, and teams with lower stakes-- looking at you, Rockets!-- sink down to the bottom. Tune in to find out where the top nine teams in the playoffs end up! Then, we preview tonight's play-in games with another edition of Hot Streak! Learn more about your ad choices.
