Post#1 » by RealGM Articles » Wed Apr 26, 2023 7:54 pm

Only one of the four second round series matchups are set with the first round nearly complete. 


The following capsules show the matchups along with the Net Rating, Offensive Rating and Defensive Rating for each team. 


Over the 10-year period from 2013 until 2022, the team with the higher Net Rating in the regular season has won their first round matchup 81 percent of the time (65 of 80 series). That number drops to 65 percent in the second round.


1. Denver Nuggets vs. 4. Phoenix Suns
