NBA Second Round – Western Conference
In the Western Conference, the number one seed, the Golden State Warriors play the number four seed, the Houston Rockets. Last year, the Rockets lost to the Warriors.

Also in the Western Conference, the number two seed, the Denver Nuggets will play the number three seed, the Portland Trail Blazers. In this series, many basketball analytics are predicting the Blazers to be in the conference finals.
No doubt, the second round should provide plenty of playoff excitement.
