There have been some absolute bangers lately, so I gotta ask—what matchups are you loving right now, and which ones are you hyped for in the playoffs?

Here’s what I’m into:

• Bucks vs. Pacers – This lowkey feels like a real rivalry now. They’ve played each other so much, and that last game? Hali just casually throwing up a prayer to ice it was insane.

• Thunder vs. Nuggets – MVP battle every time. Watching Jokic and SGA go at it is a vibe, and I need this series in the playoffs.

• Nuggets vs. Lakers – The Lakers finally had a game plan for Jokic and didn’t look lost out there. After two sweeps and now Luka in the mix, this could be spicy.

• Celtics vs. Cavs – Celts were on track to blow out the Cavs, and JT told them to go home! Boston still lost in a tight one. If they meet in the playoffs, it’s gonna be a war.

What about y’all? Which matchups are giving you life?

Nuggets Lakers simply because it determines the Thunder v Nuggets/Lakers match-up in the playoffs. The whole triangle is really good right now.

Cavaliers vs the field. You can really get anything any night. They're a good squad.

Thunder Lakers is fun even more so due to the coaching match up. I think it's 1v2 coaches in the league right now, maybe tied with Kenny on the Cavs.

I'm not high on the Celtics this year. I think they will only win the one with that squad, and Kenny/Mark/JJ will out coach him from here on out.
