This week’s SB Nation NBA Reacts national survey focused on which teams will win the first round of the playoffs. We’ll first look at the Eastern Conference, where 90 percent of respondents thought that the No. 3 seed Philadelphia 76ers would beat the No. 6 seed Brooklyn Nets.

In the Western Conference, our national survey respondents predict an upset, based on seed numbers. A decisive majority of 61 percent believe the No. 6 seed Golden State Warriors will beat the No. 3 Sacramento Kings.

In the No. 1 vs. No. 8 series, the Denver Nuggets were the favorites over the Minnesota Timberwolves with 91 percent of the vote.

The No. 2 vs. No. 7 series may be quite interesting. Sure, the Memphis Grizzlies had the better regular season and won 62 percent of the vote. However, the Los Angeles Lakers still have a very good LeBron James.

Finally, 79 percent of respondents believe that the 4th-seeded Phoenix Suns will beat the 5th-seeded Los Angeles Clippers.
