Oklahoma City and Cleveland are the top seeds in the NBA playoffs, which comes with some perks. They'll have home-court advantage for at least three rounds and, presumably, an easier path than others to advancing.
It also comes with a challenge: They'll have just one full day to really prepare for Game 1.
Some teams will have a full week to prepare for their first playoff foe. Some teams get four or five days. But given the way the play-in tournament is structured, the Thunder and Cavaliers won't know their foes until late Friday night — then will open Round 1 matchups against those opponents on Sunday, with only one practice day to lock in on a game plan.
