    Has there ever been an 8 seed favored over a 1?

    In NBA history Atlanta -1 now

    Not sure, but I think the Nuggets were favored in a game or two over Seattle about 20 yrs ago when they beat them in round one. I may be wrong about that tho

    Last year OKC vs Houston I think. All 3 games in Houston were close to pk, at least a couple hovered between OKC-1 and Houston-1.

    Exactly, it has happened several times when the 8 was home.

    With that said, if the Hawks pull it off, they will set the record for the worst regular season record of a team to win an NBA Playoff series.

    Major injury in that series though, Pacers haven't sustained any losses.

    True. But it's still an example. For an 8 to be favored over a 1 something major has to happen (injury, loss of form).

    Not necessarily, Denver was favored over Seattle simply because they were great in the altitude back then.
