Lets get this thing started!

To start off, I am not picking any players from the Thunder/Mavs and Heat/Knicks until they reach a crucial game. That leaves me with Bulls/76ers and Pacers/Magic, from that 2 series the team that might be swept in an instant is the Orlando Magic. The Pacers will get a lot of baskets inside AND they have three very good perimeter defenders in Paul George, Danny Granger and George Hill. From the looks of it, this might be the only game that the Magic would get about 8-10 three pointers since the Pacers will use this game to adjust more in their defensive scheme.

As for the 76ers/Bulls series, the one that I would be confident to pick is Andre Iguodala but I would rather save him for a home game than this one with Brewer definitely guarding him.

I have thought of picking Ryan Anderson for game 1 because of the matchup problem that he will present against David West who is not a good defender. However, Ryan Anderson plays better at home and for that, I would save him for either game 3 or 4. This leaves me with Glen Davis or Jameer Nelson, Glen Davis plays better on the road but with tall Roy Hibbert and Athletic Tyler Hansbrough, there might not be a lot of touches for him to score. Thus, I am picking Jameer Nelson because he might be asked to score more and create more opportunities for his other teammates; which only means that he will touch the ball A LOT. And since we are not counting turnovers, I am down with Jameer clunking shots and turning the ball over.

Lastly, since this is the first day of the playoffs, a 20+ pra will be good to start my fantasy season. My projected stats for Jameer will be 14pts 3rebs 6asts
