NBA Playoffs 2026 Kick Off

The Oklahoma City Thunder enter the playoffs as favorites to repeat as champions, but they face a deep field of challengers in both conferences.

The New York Knicks are looking to end their long title drought, while the Boston Celtics hope to capitalize on a healthy Jayson Tatum.

Injury concerns remain a major storyline, with stars like Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves sidelined for the start of their respective series.

Fans are bracing for a wide-open tournament that could see a new champion crowned in June.
