The Lakers started 1-6, and went 33-1 in the next stretch to sit at a 34-7 record. Both these teams have superstar squads and is a likely preview of what’s to come in June.

Cavaliers (30-13) @ Nets (26-15)

The Cavs and Nets are 2nd and 3rd place in the Eastern Conference as of right now. The Nets offense is ranked #1 in the league and the Cavs defense sits at #3. Two completely different playing styles and teams, it should be fun to watch these teams head to head.
