8 teams are now still standing. 4 teams left in the Western Conference. It is now time for the second round of the NBA Playoffs. The Utah Jazz, Los Angeles Clippers, Denver Nuggets, and Phoenix Suns are the remaining teams. Who will move on to the conference finals?
No. 1 Utah Jazz vs No. 4 Los Angeles Clippers
The Jazz vs The Clippers. This is an interesting series that could go either way. I definitely see this series going 7 games. As great as Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert are, I think the Clippers win this series. I believe Kawhi Leonard will be the difference maker. He's one of the best in the world and I don't see how Utah can stop him.
Prediction: Clippers in 7
No. 2 Phoenix Suns vs No. 3 Denver Nuggets
The Suns vs The Nuggets. This is going to be one close series. Phoenix has an amazing backcourt with Chris Paul and Devin Booker going up against Denver's Nikola Jokic, who is the consensus MVP winner. This should be a very fun and close series, but I got Phoenix getting the win once again in this series. I believe Deandre Ayton can present a good challenge to Jokic and I think Devin Booker will have another great series.
Prediction: Suns in 6
