We asked our ESPN Forecast panel who would prevail in Round 1 of the Eastern Conference playoffs, and the voters see all of the top seeds advancing.
The panel predicts the top three seeds, in particular, will move on without much drama. But it expects a close Raptors-Wizards series to go to a deciding seventh game, with Toronto eventually celebrating its first playoff series win since 2001.
How it works: The ESPN Forecast panel predicted each team's likelihood of winning each of the seven potential games and each team's likelihood of winning the series. The top-line "Forecast" is based on a combination of the mean, median and mode of the predictions for each series.
