The postseason has arrived in the NBA, and 20 teams enter the bracket with their eyes on the Larry O'Brien trophy. Some, obviously, have better chances than others. So how will things shake out over the coming weeks as we work our way toward the 2025 NBA Finals? That's what we're attempting to predict today. Below, our seven CBS Sports NBA experts have each filled out a full postseason bracket -- yes, including the Play-In Tournament -- and predicted a champion before the playoffs begin. Unsurprisingly, there's a lot of love for the Boston Celtics and the Oklahoma City Thunder, who enter the playoffs with the best title odds. Some even see runs for the Warriors and the Lakers in the West against the less-experienced Thunder. Meanwhile, it might be a short stay in the playoffs for Nikola Jokic's Nuggets and Giannis Antetokounmpo's Bucks. Shop NBA special packages here, or visit the services' home pages for more packages. MLB discussions early in the season include the Texas Rangers on the American League side and how great the NL West. The Easts always get plenty of virtual ink with the Yankees and Red Sox as prominent contenders on the AL side along with the interest in the Mets, Braves and Phillies in the National League right now. In a deeper look on the AL side, the Tigers started the season by losing three games in Los Angeles to the Dodgers, but they've been excellent since. They've been either tied for first or alone in first place for the entirety of April. They are 8-2 against fellow AL Central teams and getting some great work on the mound. And on the offensive side, it looks like Spencer Torkelson is settling in as a monster middle-order power presence. They have the second-best run differential in what appears to be a wide-open American League and I strongly believe they have staying power. Over in the NL, the Cubs have the best run differential in baseball, flexing their offensive muscles to the tune of 6.04 runs per game (tops in the majors). The Cubs have the hardest schedule, statistically, by a mile. The Cubs have played the Diamondbacks seven times, Padres six times and Dodgers five times along with three-game series against the Rangers and Athletics. That's it. It's just been an outrageous schedule this April. And yet, the Cubs are riding high. Formulas that combine run differential with strength of schedule have the Cubs as the best team in baseball, rather easily. We aren't gonna go that crazy, but they aren't too far off.

Dodgers (16-10): Quality week at the office for the champs, taking care of business against an awful team and then winning a road series against a good one. 3. Mets (18-8): The Mets are now 11-5 against teams under .500. Does that matter? Probably not. They're playing good baseball against everyone. They're also 4-2 against teams over .500. 4. Cubs (17-10): Heading into their weekend series against the Philadelphia Phillies, the Cubs are averaging 6.3 runs per game. That's nearly a full run higher than the next best team, the New York Yankees, who average 5.5 runs. 5. Yankees (15-11): That was a 6-1 week for the Bronx Bombers. I was definitely too quick to sour on them, though I'm certain Trent Grisham's 1.093 OPS is due a major correction. NHL power rankings: 1. Maple Leafs (52-26-4): The Leafs remained one of the league's best teams for most of the season. The Core Four was superb, and Matthew Knies broke out as a young star. Toronto also got consistent goaltending from Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll. Now, the Leafs go into the playoffs with high expectations. What could go wrong? 2. Golden Knights (50-22-10): It took a while for the Golden Knights to get rolling, but they have played very well down the stretch. The key there is the performance of Adin Hill, who was pretty shaky for the first half of the season. Over the last few months, Hill has started to look more like the player who led Vegas to a Cup in 2023. 3. Jest (56-22-4): The Jets got great seasons out of two key veterans -- Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor -- as well as strong showings from Gabe Vilardi and Nik Ehlers. That said, don't be mistaken about who drives the bus. Connor Hellebuyck is about to win another Vezina Trophy, and the team will go as far as he takes it. 4. Kings (48-25-9): I was very skeptical about Los Angeles after a quiet offseason and a so-so start. After three straight first-round losses to the Oilers, the Kings seemed to have plateaued. Then the offense started to click down the stretch, and Darcy Kuemper played like a Vezina candidate. Now we're going to get Round 4 between the Kings and Oilers, and it might finally end differently. 5. Lightning (47-27-8): As it turns out, the Lightning may just never slow down. They made a tough decision to part with Steven Stamkos and bring in Jake Guentzel last summer, but that now looks very wise. Brandon Hagel stepped up for a 90-point season. Nikita Kucherov and Andrei Vasilevskiy are still the best of the best at their positions. Tampa's championship window is still wide open. NBA power rankings: 1. Thunder (67-14): The NBA's best team finishes the season at No. 1 in the Power Rankings, and they opened the season with the league's youngest average age. It's good to be a Thunder fan right now. But this is where the real work begins, as an all-time regular season will be overshadowed by anything short of a conference finals run. And in the West, even their first-round matchup will be a significant test. 2. Cavaliers (64-17): The Cleveland Cavaliers are your regular-season Eastern Conference champs, and they're going to land either second or third in net rating after finishing 12th last year. Donovan Mitchell deserves credit for taking a backseat in both the scoring and playmaking department in order to empower Darius Garland and Evan Mobley, who have put up their best NBA seasons. 3. Celtics (60-21): After going 12-3 in their last 15 games (including Wednesday's loss with none of the top six available), the Celtics look ready to defend their title. In addition to the usual suspects, Boston goes a bit deeper this season with an improved Payton Pritchard. They'll also have what should be a relatively favorable opening-round matchup to get their playoff feet back underneath them. 4. Rockets (52-29): From No. 11 last season to No. 2 this year, the Rockets have pulled off a phenomenal glow-up in basically the blink of an eye. After all the talk of their offensive struggles, they ended up basically in the top 10 on that end, coupled with their absolutely elite defense. The attitude and energy are going to make this a fun team to watch during the playoffs. 5. Knicks (50-31): The Knicks are going to finish with roughly the same record as last season, but things obviously feel quite different with the addition of Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges. All that matters to them right now, however, is that Jalen Brunson is back in time for the start of the postseason. He's averaged 21 points and eight assists in his first two games since returning from a nasty ankle injury. Review the best NHL services and check yesterday's leaderboards.
