The Boston Celtics are the defending NBA champions. It's why they feel so confident ahead of this playoff run. They believe they should still be the favorites to win it all. Despite that fact, a lot of the media is picking Oklahoma City or Cleveland to win it all.

Celtics star Jayson Tatum has been a mentor to Magic star Paolo Banchero, but that relationship will be put on pause for the playoffs.

That also means Jayson Tatum will face off against fellow Duke alum Paolo Banchero, who is widely considered to be among the best young players in the game. Tatum and Banchero's Duke connection has helped the two strike up a friendship, but that rapport will not stop Tatum from being on his A-game once the series starts.
