Alright, I also respect your prediction. 

So here's my pick for the first game of the playoffs.

Nuggets vs Utah Jazz.

Mike Conley won't be able to play in this game as he leave the bubble to attend's son's birth, that's in the news.

Okay, so the line for moved, Jazz opened at +3.5, now at +4.5, this means people are betting on the Nuggets but not me, I like the Conley less Jazz so Clarkson would get more minutes, I hope I'm right as that's what I see during the regular season when conley was out

So my pick would be Jazz +4.5
