The 2023 NBA playoffs are here!

Twenty teams have a chance -- some, uh, smaller than others -- to take home the Larry O'Brien Trophy in June. But first, four teams need to come out of the play-in tournament. Can the No. 8 seed Minnesota Timberwolves overcome Rudy Gobert's suspension and Jaden McDaniel's wall punch to surprise LeBron James and the No. 7 seed Los Angeles Lakers? Can the No. 10-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder continue their shocking run by shutting down the No. 9 seed Pelicans in New Orleans?

Over in the East, we have Trae Young and the eighth-seeded Atlanta Hawks facing a Miami Heat team that has spent all season trying to overcome injuries and inconsistency. And then we have the Chicago Bulls facing a Toronto Raptors team that is 15-11 since acquiring Jakob Poeltl at the trade deadline.

And that's just the play-in! Our experts have analyzed all the data; they've talked to insiders across the league.

Here are their final selections.
