The 16-team NBA playoff field will officially be set late Friday night. And barely 12 hours later, the postseason will begin when the Jazz-Mavericks series tips off Saturday afternoon.

So, without further ado, let’s get into picks and previews for the final pair of play-in games, take a look at the respective conferences and talk a little MLB and NFL.
