The NBA Playoffs are here, and the NBA on NBC is celebrating with a Sunday night doubleheader of First Round games. The night will kick off with the Detroit Pistons taking on the Orlando Magic from the Eastern Conference, but it’ll conclude with something arguably even bigger.
The second half of the Sunday Night Basketball Playoffs doubleheader features San Antonio Spurs superstar and MVP candidate Victor Wembanyama making his NBA Playoffs debut, as the Spurs host the Portland Trail Blazers, fresh off their own Play-In victory. Ahead of this marquee matchup, let’s take a closer look at what’s ahead.

The Spurs have finally put all the pieces in place. After a few years of struggling, they’ve been dominant this season, clinching second in the West and even giving the powerhouse Oklahoma City Thunder a run for their money. The Thunder might still be the favorites to repeat their NBA Finals run from last season, but the Spurs aren’t far behind, and if they can make it through the Playoff gauntlet they’ve got a very good shot at a title. One thing to watch for, though: Wembanyama will be entering this game fresh off a rib injury that sidelined him. The Spurs can certainly win without him, but it’s worth keeping an eye on.
While the Spurs are certainly the favorites in this matchup, particularly since they’re playing at home, the Blazers have some momentum on their side. They had to beat Phoenix in the Play-In Tournament to get this far, and they did it with a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback that saw them rebound from 11 points in the hole to get the win. That means All-Star Deni Avdija and the rest of Portland’s squad are riding a momentum wave, and they need to press that advantage while they can if they have any hope of beating the Spurs across a best-of-7 series. Crazier things have happened, of course, but in order to take the series, Portland will have to strike while the iron is hot, and that means showing up Sunday in San Antonio ready to score against one of the best rebounding teams in the league.
