The league-leading Boston Celtics have continued their dominant run through the Eastern Conference, securing their second consecutive five-game series win with the highest odds, this time against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Boston will face the surprising Indiana Pacers, who decisively defeated the short-handed New York Knicks in Game 7.

In the Western Conference, the Minnesota Timberwolves made headlines by overcoming three-time MVP Nikola Jokic and the defending champion Denver Nuggets in a thrilling Game 7 comeback. This victory marks the Timberwolves’ first appearance in the conference finals since 2004.
