Western Conference Playoffs
(1) Utah Jazz vs. 8) Golden State Warriors: “The winner would be the Jazz. Without a doubt. It is the pointer with impressive solidity. If you look at everything, it is very even between 7 teams in the Western Conference Except for Utah, which does not mean that he is champion, but he will not fall with an eighth ”.
(4) Denver Nuggets vs. (5) Los Angeles Lakers: “This duel is very uneven because no matter how much the Nuggets have grown, they are behind the Lakers. We have a Nikola Jokic with a sensational campaign, but it would not reach them in this series ”.
(3) Los Angeles Clippers vs. Portland Trail Blazers: “I like the Clippers better because they have come out of a negative dynamic with the departure of Doc Rivers as coach. So I see them going through the phase ”.
(2) Phoenix Suns vs. (7) Dallas Mavericks: “The Suns have been a huge surprise. What they did with rejuvenated Chris Paul and a Devin Booker who takes it from five continents away. Pasa Phoenix”.

Eastern Conference Playoffs
(1) Philadelphia 76ers vs. (8) Boston Celtics: “76ers pass by beating. The teams that are going to enter the Play-In will do so with a losing record. In the Eastern Conference for many years it is inferior to the other (West) with which strong teams like Philadelphia, Brooklyn and Milwaukee, which are the only three real contenders, they pass over those who entered through the window ”.
(4) Atlanta Hawks vs. (5) Miami Heat: “I see the Miami team as the winner with the aftertaste of the champion team from the last conference finals. They are at a lower level, but they have enough to go through to the first round ”.
(3) Milwauke Bucks vs. (6) Charlotte Hornets: “Clearly the series turns in favor of the Bucks because they want to avoid the catastrophes of the past playoffs, They are not going to happen to them on the first wheel, they may not measure up against a similar team, but not in this case ”.

Eastern Conference Semifinals
– Philadelphia 76ers vs. Miami Heat: “I see a more even series, but the 76ers are going to pass. Few teams have answers for Joel Embiid and no matter how much Bam Adebayo has improved, he will not reach them ”.

Eastern Conference Final: Philadelphia 76ers vs. Milwaukee bucks

“I see him LeBron doubling title and closing a dynasty, not because he does not continue playing, but it is difficult for him to maintain the superlative level that ‘El Rey’ has used to us in recent years. I predict and always say that you have to take it with a grain of salt due to the physical situation, another Lakers title ”.
