FanDuel promo code: NBA playoff first-round preview and best FanDuel promotions

There hasn’t been a big upset in the first round of the NBA Playoffs with a No. 8 seed beating a No. 1 since 2011, so maybe we’re overdue.

Defending champ Golden State had an up-and-down season, playing well at home, but terribly on the road but is still dangerous in the Western Conference with superstar Steph Curry and company.

Milwaukee, Boston and Philadelphia have been the class of the Eastern Conference this year. The Celtics reached the NBA Finals last year losing to the Warriors in six games. Boston took two of three from Milwaukee in the regular season and won the season series against the Sixers as well.

The NBA Playoffs are a long test of a team’s ability to stay together and be great, throughout the playoffs FanDuel maintains its focus on giving customers amazing rewards through promotions such as:

• Referral bonus: Convince a few friends to sign up with FanDuel and you’ll each receive $50 in bonus bets.
