Ranking the 5 best potential matchups as the 2018 NBA playoffs grows closer and closer

Another NBA regular season has flown by, and yet it feels like the playoffs can’t start soon enough.

The home stretch of this season has had more drama than some, with a multitude of injuries to Golden State’s stars and some fringe playoff teams finishing strong in the race for playoff seeding.

But with a little over two weeks left, fans are ready for the main event. The teams that will qualify for the playoffs are nearly locked in, but the early matchups and brackets are still very much in the balance.

With that in mind, it’s worth thinking about the best possible matchups for the 2018 playoffs. These are the rivalries and head-to-heads that could make this a postseason to remember, if we’re lucky enough to see them.
