No. 1 Golden State vs. No. 8 New Orleans
Schedule: Game 1 is Saturday at Golden State, rest of series TBA
Season series: Warriors won 3-1. Golden State dominated the two games at Oracle Arena in Oakland, but it was a much different story at the Smoothie King Center. New Orleans won an early-April thriller over Golden State, after taking the Warriors to overtime in December despite playing without Anthony Davis.
Playoff history: These teams have never met in the NBA playoffs. In fact, they've rarely both qualified for the postseason in the same year since New Orleans joined the Western Conference in 2004-05.
