NBA季后赛现已进入白热化阶段。经过几场激烈的附加赛，16支参赛球队已经全部产生。
在周六的首个比赛日中，主场球队赢下了全部四场比赛，这让冷门的出现变得微乎其微。然而，尽管5号种子休斯顿火箭队在缺少**凯文·杜兰特 (Kevin Durant)**的情况下输掉了首场客场比赛，但他们仍被看好能击败4号种子洛杉矶湖人队。
周日的情况可能大同小异。这四场比赛的让分盘相对悬殊，有三支球队的让分达到了两位数，而底特律的让分也达到了相当可观的8.5分。
以下是NBA季后赛全部八场首轮系列赛的赔率概览。随着每场比赛结果对系列赛晋级赔率的影响，这些数据将在整个季后赛期间每日更新。
东部联盟季后赛
1. 底特律活塞 vs. 8. 奥兰多魔术
**第一场：**东部时间周日晚6:30
**系列赛赔率：**活塞 -500，魔术 +380
活塞队实现了跨越式增长，从上赛季的44胜提升到了本赛季的60胜。**凯德·坎宁安 (Cade Cunningham)**及其队友在去年首轮以2-4负于纽约尼克斯队的系列赛中初尝季后赛滋味。现在，人们对他们寄予了厚望——尽管这种期望仍相对保守。
尽管活塞队手握头号种子，但他们在夺得东部冠军的赔率中仅排在第四位。底特律前景的一部分不确定性与坎宁安的健康状况有关。正当这位2021年NBA选秀状元向MVP奖项发起冲击时，他因肺塌陷错过了常规赛末段的12场比赛。
坎宁安在最后三场常规赛中复出，但出场时间均未超过30分钟，且这几场比赛的场均得分（11.3分）不到他赛季平均水平（23.9分）的一半。底特律被看好能轻松赢下这轮系列赛，但外界的目光将集中在坎宁安的状态恢复得如何。
2. 波士顿凯尔特人 vs. 7. 费城76人
**第一场：**东部时间周日下午1:00
**系列赛赔率：**凯尔特人 -900，76人 +600
波士顿已成为夺得东部冠军的头号热门。考虑到赛季初他们还被贴上“过渡年”的标签，这简直是翻天覆地的变化，当时**杰森·塔图姆 (Jayson Tatum)正从去年季后赛遭受的跟腱伤势中恢复。凯尔特人以5胜7负开局，看起来似乎要奔着乐透区去了，但杰伦·布朗 (Jaylen Brown)**带领球队打出了强劲的常规赛收官表现，这也促成了塔图姆的回归。
当塔图姆在3月6日完成赛季首秀时，波士顿的战绩为41胜21负。在塔图姆出战的16场比赛中，凯尔特人取得了13胜3负。虽然他的大多数数据有所下降，但塔图姆在场均32.6分钟的出场时间里仍能贡献21.8分、10个篮板和5.3次助攻。他或许不再是那个MVP级别的塔图姆，但他依然非常出色，而布朗的表现则接近MVP水准。
与此同时，**乔尔·恩比德 (Joel Embiid)**何时能从阑尾炎中康复回归尚不可知。他在4月9日接受了手术，至今未归。76人在缺少恩比德的情况下闯过了附加赛，**泰瑞斯·马克西 (Tyrese Maxey)**成为了球队的得分王，但费城若想完成下克上的壮举，依然需要恩比德巨大的内线威慑力。
3. 纽约尼克斯 vs. 6. 亚特兰大老鹰
尼克斯系列赛1-0领先
**第二场：**东部时间周一晚8:00
**系列赛赔率：**尼克斯 -425，老鹰 +330
尼克斯队在对阵老鹰队的首场比赛中稳扎稳打。**杰伦·布伦森 (Jalen Brunson)**砍下28分，**卡尔-安东尼·唐斯 (Karl-Anthony Towns)**贡献25分，帮助球队以113-102获胜。
赔率显示这轮系列赛是首轮竞争最激烈的对决之一，但老鹰队在下半场从未领先过，尼克斯队在第四节一度领先多达19分。亚特兰大方面，**CJ·麦科勒姆 (CJ McCollum)和杰伦·约翰逊 (Jalen Johnson)**合力砍下49分，但尼克斯队在罚球线上占据了巨大优势。尼克斯的罚球命中数是对手的两倍还多（25比12）。
纽约在第二场比赛中被看好让5.5分。
4. 克利夫兰骑士 vs. 5. 多伦多猛龙
骑士系列赛1-0领先
**第二场：**东部时间周一晚7:00
**系列赛赔率：**骑士 -800，猛龙 +550
**詹姆斯·哈登 (James Harden)**在代表克利夫兰出战的首场季后赛中拿下了22分和10次助攻。**多诺万·米切尔 (Donovan Mitchell)**在首战以126-113获胜的比赛中依然以32分领跑全队，但哈登的存在和表现意味着米切尔不必再为克利夫兰大包大揽。
克利夫兰在第一场比赛中一度领先24分，在成功守住首个主场后，他们成为了晋级的大热门。
猛龙队并没有表现出太多能让外界相信他们能在这轮系列赛中给骑士制造麻烦的迹象。目前DraftKings上最可能的系列赛结果是骑士五场晋级（+215），其次是四场横扫（+270）。

2026年NBA季后赛前瞻：为何雷霆有望卫冕，而尼克斯可能功亏一篑。第二轮可能会变得非常有趣，西部决赛或许会成为史诗级的对决。让我们来做一些预测。
西部联盟季后赛
1. 俄克拉荷马城雷霆 vs. 8. 菲尼克斯太阳
**第一场：**东部时间周日下午3:30
**系列赛赔率：**雷霆 -3000，太阳 +1300
卫冕冠军雷霆队再次拿下了常规赛最佳战绩（64胜18负），预计首轮不会成为他们的绊脚石。雷霆在过去两年的季后赛首轮中都完成了横扫，今年看到同样的结果也不足为奇。
俄克拉荷马城以夺冠最大热门的姿态进入季后赛，尽管马刺队的崛起以及塔图姆在波士顿的伤愈复出，使得争冠阵营比几个月前看起来更加强大。尽管如此，雷霆在FanDuel上的夺冠赔率仍为1赔1，在DraftKings（+110）和BetMGM（+120）上也接近1赔1。
2. 圣安东尼奥马刺 vs. 7. 波特兰开拓者
**第一场：**东部时间周日晚9:00
**系列赛赔率：**马刺 -2000，开拓者 +1000
马刺队自2019年以来首次重返季后赛，且自2017年以来从未赢下过一轮季后赛系列赛。那时，保罗·加索尔 (Pau Gasol)、**托尼·帕克 (Tony Parker)和科怀·伦纳德 (Kawhi Leonard)仍在为马刺效力。虽然中间经历了一些低谷期，但维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama)**已经开启了圣安东尼奥另一个可能令人难忘的时代。马刺是这轮系列赛的绝对热门，在夺冠赔率榜上也高居第二。
波特兰也终结了季后赛荒。开拓者队已经五年没有打进季后赛了，上一次赢得系列赛还是在2019年，当时**达米安·利拉德 (Damian Lillard)**开启了完全体的“利拉德时间”，带领波特兰杀入分区决赛。
这轮系列赛预计不会持续太久，总场数的大小分盘口设为5.5场，而DraftKings上小分的赔率非常被看好（-235）。
3. 丹佛掘金 vs. 6. 明尼苏达森林狼
掘金系列赛1-0领先
**第二场：**东部时间周一晚10:30
**系列赛赔率：**掘金 -600，森林狼 +450
森林狼队在第一场首节结束后领先10分，但丹佛在半场前追平了比分，并在第三节凭借一波14-0的攻势拉开差距。掘金队以116-105获胜，取得了系列赛领先，并成为晋级形势更为明朗的热门球队。
**尼古拉·约基奇 (Nikola Jokić)理所当然地拿下了三双，而贾马尔·穆雷 (Jamal Murray)**则砍下30分。穆雷拿到30分的方式有些独特：三分球8投0中，但16次罚球全部命中。
**安东尼·爱德华兹 (Anthony Edwards)**也经历了一个投篮手感冰冷的夜晚（19投7中）。如果森林狼想要在这轮系列赛中完成逆袭，他们需要这位明星后卫贡献更多。
4. 洛杉矶湖人 vs. 5. 休斯顿火箭
湖人系列赛1-0领先
**第二场：**东部时间周二晚10:30
**系列赛赔率：**火箭 -225，湖人 +185
没有卢卡·东契奇 (Luka Dončić)，没有奥斯汀·里夫斯 (Austin Reaves)，湖人队在第一场依然没有问题。**卢克·肯纳德 (Luke Kennard)**挺身而出砍下27分，帮助球队以107-98获胜，这为湖人争取到了更多时间等待东契奇和里夫斯从伤病中回归。
诚然，休斯顿当时也缺少了杜兰特，因此两支球队都希望尽快恢复全员齐整。杜兰特参加了第一场的赛前热身，目前处于每日观察名单中，因此他可能很快就会回归。
尽管湖人队赢下了系列赛揭幕战，但火箭队仍被看好赢得系列赛。如果湖人取得2-0的领先，情况可能会发生逆转，但目前火箭被看好能在客场取胜并扳平比分。

2026 NBA playoffs first-round series odds: Rockets still favored to beat Lakers after Game 1 loss
It’s time for the NBA to hit its extra gear in the playoffs. The 16-team field is set following the Play-In Tournament, which featured several close games.
The home teams won all four games on the first day of action on Saturday, which makes any upsets less likely. However, the No. 5 seed Houston Rockets are still favored to beat the No. 4 Los Angeles Lakers after dropping Game 1 on the road without Kevin Durant.
Sunday could be more of the same. The four games feature relatively lopsided spreads with three teams favored by a double digits and Detroit favored by a still substantial 8.5 points.
This is a look at the odds for all eight first-round series in the NBA playoffs. It will be updated daily throughout the playoffs, as the odds to win each series will shift with results.
Eastern Conference playoffs
1. Detroit Pistons vs. 8. Orlando Magic
**Game 1:**6:30 p.m. ET, Sunday
**Series odds:**Pistons -500, Magic +380
The Pistons made the jump from 44 wins last season to 60 this season. Cade Cunningham and company got a taste of the playoffs with a 4-2 series loss in the first round at the hands of the New York Knicks. Now come expectations — which are still relatively modest.
The Pistons are only fourth in the odds to win the Eastern Conference despite holding the top seed. Part of Detroit’s outlook is related to concerns about Cunningham’s health. Just as the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft was emerging as an MVP candidate, he missed 12 games late in the regular season because of a collapsed lung.
Cunningham returned for the final three games, but didn’t play 30 minutes in any of them, and his scoring average in those games (11.3) was less than half his season average (23.9). Detroit is heavily favored to win this series, but eyes will be on how sharp Cunningham looks.
2. Boston Celtics vs. 7. Philadelphia 76ers
**Game 1:**1 p.m. ET, Sunday
Series odds: Celtics -900, 76ers +600
Boston has emerged as the favorite to win the Eastern Conference, which is a wild change from entering the season tagged with “throwaway year,” while Jayson Tatum recovered from his Achilles injury suffered in last year’s playoffs. The Celtics started the year 5-7, and it appeared Boston would be headed to the lottery, but Jaylen Brown carried the Celtics to a strong regular-season finish, which prompted the return of Tatum.
Boston was 41-21 when Tatum made his season debut on March 6. The Celtics are 13-3 in Tatum’s 16 games. Most of his numbers are down, but Tatum is still averaging 21.8 points, 10 rebounds and 5.3 assists in 32.6 minutes per game. He may not be the Tatum who was an MVP candidate, but he’s still very good, and Brown is playing near an MVP level.
Meanwhile, it’s unknown when Joel Embiid will return from appendicitis. He had surgery on April 9 and hasn’t come back yet. The 76ers advanced out of the Play-In Tournament without him, and Tyrese Maxey is the team’s leading scorer, but Philadelphia still needs Embiid’s huge presence to pull off this upset.
3. New York Knicks vs. 6. Atlanta Hawks
Knicks lead series 1-0
Game 2: 8 p.m. ET, Monday
**Series odds:**Knicks -425, Hawks +330
The Knicks held serve comfortably in Game 1 against the Hawks. Jalen Brunson had 28 points and Karl-Anthony Towns scored 25 in a 113-102 win.
The odds have this series as one of the tightest in the first round, but the Hawks never led in the second half and the Knicks led by as much as 19 in the fourth quarter. Atlanta got 49 combined points from CJ McCollum and Jalen Johnson, but the Knicks had a massive edge on the free throw line. The Knicks made more than twice as many free throws (25 to 12).
New York is favored by 5.5 points in Game 2.
4. Cleveland Cavaliers vs. 5. Toronto Raptors
Cavaliers lead series 1-0
Game 2: 7 p.m. ET, Monday
Series odds: Cavaliers -800, Raptors +550
James Harden had 22 points and 10 assists in his first playoff game with Cleveland. Donovan Mitchell still led the Cavs with 32 points in a 126-113 win in Game 1, but Harden’s presence and performance means Mitchell doesn’t have to do it all for Cleveland.
Cleveland led by as much as 24 in Game 1 and is an overwhelming favorite to advance after successfully defending home court in Game 1.
Toronto didn’t show much to give any confidence that the Raptors could trouble Cleveland in this series. The most likely series outcome on DraftKings is currently the Cavs to win the series in five games (+215), followed by a four-game sweep at +270.
What You Should Read Next
Western Conference playoffs
1. Oklahoma City Thunder vs. 8. Phoenix Suns
**Game 1:**3:30 p.m. ET, Sunday
**Series odds:**Thunder -3000, Suns +1300
The defending champion Thunder once again had the best record in the regular season (64-18), and the first round is not expected to be a stumbling block. The Thunder have swept the first round in the last two playoffs, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the same happen this year.
Oklahoma City enters the playoffs as the favorite to win the NBA title, although the rise of the Spurs and Tatum’s return from injury for Boston has made the contending field stronger than it appeared months ago. Still, OKC is even money to win it all again on FanDuel and is near even money on DraftKings (+110) and BetMGM (+120).
2. San Antonio Spurs vs. 7. Portland Trail Blazers
Game 1: 9 p.m. ET, Sunday
Series odds: Spurs -2000, Trail Blazers +1000
The Spurs are in the playoffs for the first time since 2019 and haven’t won a playoff series since 2017. That’s when Pau Gasol, Tony Parker and Kawhi Leonard were still suiting up for the Spurs. There have been some lean years in between, but Victor Wembanyama has ushered in what could be another memorable era in San Antonio. The Spurs are a huge favorite in this series and are second in the betting odds to win the NBA title.
Portland is also ending a playoff drought. The Trail Blazers haven’t made the postseason in five years, and last won a playoff series in 2019, when Damian Lillard went full Dame Time and took Portland to the conference finals.
This one isn’t expected to go long, with the over/under for total games at 5.5, and the under is well-favored at -235 on DraftKings.
3. Denver Nuggets vs. 6. Minnesota Timberwolves
Nuggets lead series 1-0
Game 2: 10:30 p.m. ET, Monday
**Series odds:**Nuggets -600, Timberwolves +450
Minnesota led Game 1 by 10 points after a quarter, but Denver tied the game by halftime and used a 14-0 run to pull away in the third quarter. The Nuggets won 116-105 to take the series lead and become an even more overwhelming favorite to advance.
Nikola Jokić had a triple-double, of course, and Jamal Murray dropped 30 points. Murray’s route to 30 points was unorthodox, going 0-for-8 from 3-point range but making all 16 of his free throw attempts.
Anthony Edwards also had a tough shooting night (7-for-19). If Minnesota is to pull off the upset in this series, it will need more from the star guard.
4. Los Angeles Lakers vs. 5. Houston Rockets
Lakers lead series 1-0
Game 2: 10:30 p.m. ET, Tuesday
**Series odds:**Rockets -225, Lakers +185
No Luka Dončić, no Austin Reaves, no problem for the Lakers in Game 1. Luke Kennard stepped up with 27 points in a 107-98 win, which buys the Lakers a little more time for Luka and Reaves to return from injury.
Granted, Houston was without Kevin Durant so both teams are hoping to get back to full strength as soon as possible. Durant took warmups in Game 1 and is day-to-day so he could return soon.
Despite the Lakers picking up the win in the series opener, Houston is still favored to win the series. That could flip if the Lakers go up 2-0, but Houston is favored to win on the road and even the series.
