The NBA postseason kicks off on Saturday April 14 and will continue until June when a champion is crowned in the NBA Finals.
The Rockets enter this year's playoffs tied with the defending champion Warriors for the best odds to hoist the Larry O'Brien Trophy at the postseason's conclusion.
Houston will have home-court advantage throughout the playoffs after earning the best record in the league at 65-17. The Raptors will have the luxury of hosting any series they play against an Eastern conference opponent and will host the Finals if they make it to the championship round and the Rockets do not because Toronto's 59-23 record is the best in the East, and second-best overall, just one game ahead of Golden State.
