It’s that easy. 

And that potentially lucrative.

So, first-time BetMGM customers, be sure not to miss your shot at $200 in bonus.

2022 playoff field brimming with key storylines

As of Wednesday afternoon, we knew 14 of this year’s 16 playoff participants.

The two No. 8 seeds in each conference will be determined Friday.

Meanwhile, there certainly is no shortage of captivating questions.

They start locally with the Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. Will the likely back-to-back MVP even be enough to lift the Nuggets into the second round?

As of Wednesday, DraftKings Colorado Sportsbook had the Golden State Warriors priced as -250 series favorites.

At 64-18, the Phoenix Suns easily posted the league’s best record. Will anyone be able to keep Devin Booker, Chris Paul and Co. from winning their first NBA title?

They’re atop the DraftKings futures board at .

However, if the Suns fall short again, will Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks become the fourth NBA franchise to win back-to-back championships in the last 20 years?

Elsewhere in the East, are Kevin Durant and the talented Brooklyn Nets finally healthy enough to walk the walk?

Are the surging Boston Celtics for real? Or will the East’s second seed fall prey to a tough first-round draw in the Nets?

Jayson Tatum and the Celtics are slight series favorites of -130 according to DK.

And what about the Philadelphia 76ers? 

Will Joel Embiid and Crew shed their postseason underachiever label and advance to the conference finals for the first time in 21 seasons?

Back out West, Ja Morant and the precocious Memphis Grizzlies are the No. 2 seed. They matched the franchise record by winning 56 games and notched the first division title in team history.

Can the Grizzlies avoid upsets and make it to the conference finals for only the second time in the franchise’s 27 seasons?

The answers begin to sort themselves out this weekend.
