The 2025 NBA Playoffs are heating up! As the second round draws to a dramatic finish, who will make the Conference Finals?

Welcome to Round 2 of the NBA playoffs. The star power has been whittled down from, but there’s still plenty of big names.

The second round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs are off to a raucous start. The Indiana Pacers are up 2-0 on the East's first-place Cleveland Cavaliers. They, the Denver Nuggets and the New York Knicks have all beaten the higher-seeded teams with remarkable comebacks.

Rohrbach: Thunder in 6. If it were just Nikola Jokić vs. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander — a battle of the two leading MVP candidates — we could expect a knockdown, drag-out series, but Oklahoma City's depth will wear out the Nuggets' six-man rotation over the course of a seven-game set. The Thunder are relentless.

The Indiana Pacers are hosting the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 4 of their second-round NBA playoff matchup on Sunday night. The Pacers have a 2-1 series lead, but the Cavaliers have some momentum after a Game 3 win and with an increasingly healthy roster.

A change of scenery has certainly served the Cleveland Cavaliers well. It's a common theme in Round 2 of the NBA playoffs, where the road squads boast a 7-3 mark so far. Nuggets interim head coach David Adelman has plenty of possible theories to explain why home court doesn't seem to provide as much of an advantage at the moment.
