But there's something about these Knicks that make you want to believe.Julius Randle could shine like in the regular season, when he averaged 37.3 points and 12.3 rebounds per game against Atlanta. When Miami then shows more attention to Milwaukee's support players, Giannis will go off as the Bucks exorcise their playoff demons.Prediction: Bucks in six No. 2 Brooklyn Nets vs. But none of it will matter, as Kevin Durant, James Harden, Kyrie Irving and Brooklyn's top-ranked offense will make quick work of this Jaylen Brown-less Boston team.Prediction: Nets in fiveNo. 1 Utah Jazz vs. Dallas could get a game or two, but ultimately, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George will take charge of one of the NBA's most talented rosters.Prediction: Clippers in five No. 3 Denver Nuggets vs. New York doesn't have an answer for this level of star power.Prediction: 76ers in five Nets vs. They'll also pick up offensive contributions from sharpshooter Joe Harris, six-time All-Star Blake Griffin and versatile big man Jeff Green, who just had a career shooting year from the field (49.2 percent) and from distance (41.2).Prediction: Nets in six Jazz vs. The Clippers have far more shooters, making them less likely to encounter the half-court turbulence that often awaits the Lakers when they can't attack in transition.This looks like a coin flip, but the Clippers' superior shooting will be what settles this series.Prediction: Clippers in seven Nets vs. Both times they fell short, and in each contest, their stars were outscored by their counterparts.That final point might seem obvious, since Brooklyn has three stars to L.A.'s two, but the Nets were only full-strength for one matchup.In that outing, Durant, Harden and Irving combined for 90 points on 64.7 percent shooting, while Leonard and George totaled 59 on 47.9 percent.
