The NBA G League playoffs are underway, with a host of teams vying for this season’s title.
This year’s playoffs will crown a new champion, as the defending champs — the Oklahoma City Blue — failed to qualify for the playoffs. Only the top six teams from each conference qualified, leaving 19 teams to watch the action from home.
Each side of the bracket is filled with legitimate title contenders. The Osceola Magic captured the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference for the second consecutive season, buoyed by standout guard Mac McClung. The three-time NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion averages 25.7 points per game, the third-highest total in the G League.
In the Western Conference, the Stockton Kings tout the No. 1 seed. The Kings are led by former Arkansas guard Mason Jones, who ranks inside the top-10 in scoring at 23.5 points per game.
