The NBA Playoffs 2025 have recently delivered the most exciting first round and left it to the West, which has brought a high drama throughout the season to bring it home with two games this weekend.

Nuggets against Clipper. Rockets vs. Warriors. Who will progress? Our NBA authors meet their picks and look at the semi -finals of the east.

Nuggets clipper, game 7: Who wins?

Ben Rohrbach: Nuggets. The clipper are deeper, but in a game 7 the depth is not so important when the calm is not an option. What matters is who can be your best and our money should be on Nikola Jokić. The clips defend him with Ivica Zubac, an all-defense candidate, and Jokić is still on average 25-12-11 to 51/45/70 shooting columns. I think it can be even better, so I choose the nugs.

Dan Devine: Nuggets. I went with Nuggets in seven in front of the series, and I'm not a coward, so I stick to it. Another monster Jokić-and-Murray game with the home advantage to close it.

Morten stig Jensen: Nuggets, but I don't feel good. Game 7 are such a crap shoot. The emotions are high, the boys are nervous and I can only imagine the pressure of the atmosphere, is absolutely crazy. As such, I have to be excessively simple and go with Denver because it has the best player in sports.

Rockets Warriors, game 7: Who wins?

Devine: Warrior. Maybe I'm a fool, but I'm sticking to Golden State. I was incredibly impressed by how the rockets played in this series … But I can't get rid of the feeling that Stephen Curry still has a dagger in the hearts of Houstonians before he said and did.

Jensen: Warrior. Here too, game is 7 nuts. So there are many elements to take into account. I hang my hat on the experience of the Golden State, but as with Denver I don't feel good. The defense of Houston is legitimate and brings Stephen Curry through every time he has to initiate simple actions. This will be a nail biter.

Rohrbach: Warriors. I cannot imagine a scenario in which Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green lose three excretion games in a row against a team that is not closer. The Warriors are far more experienced, and this is important in a game 7. Are you scared that the swing in Houston seems to have swinging towards? Secure. But give me the warriors with a mustache.

Cavaliers-Pacers, round 2: Who wins?

Jensen: Cavs in 5th maybe six. Cleveland is the better team, and with all respect for Indiana, a team that himself acts as a well -oiled machine. But the talent level in Cleveland and the offensive heights it can achieve is too much for the Pacers to overcome them.

Devine: Cavs in 6. The uncertainty about Darius Garland's toe injury gives me a break, especially as a well -known Pacers respectter, who tried to tell them that Indiana was the goods in January. But I have Also I tried to tell you that Cleveland is historically excellent at least as long.

Indiana will burden Cleveland's reporting and game plans for a lot. much A larger degree than Miami in round 1. I think Tyrese Haliburton is mercilessly hunted; And I think Cleveland continues to the Eastern Conference final since 2018.

Rohrbach: Cavaliers in 6. The Pacers are better than people think. They are certainly better than I thought when I selected the goats against them in seven games. They only needed five games to prove themselves as the deeper, more talented team. This is not the case against the Cavs, which are even deeper and even more talented. You can do anything that the Pacers can do better.

Celtics-Knicks, round 2: Who wins?

Rohrbach: Celtics in six. It makes me nervous that consensus sees this as a simple series for the Celtics. Jalen Brunson is incredible and the New York Villanova boys never stopped. Boston is also beaten up. But I can simply imagine a scenario in which the defensive combination of Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns does not come to death. The Celtics have done this to them in the past, and it achieved 130.2 points per 100 possessions this season.

Jensen: Celtics in 5th Tom Thibodeau will lose mathematics, and New York's lack of depth will make Knicks tired, which is not exactly a capital if your opponent runs all day and gun.

Devine: Celtics in 5. This is the nightmare matchup for these kinks – the bar that they saw last season and that they tried very clearly to achieve their movements outside of the season, but that they have proven themselves throughout the season so as not to be able. (For the millionth time: New York went 0-10 Against the Celtics, Cavs and Thunder in the regular season and 51-21 against everyone else.) Respect for Jalen Brunson's record of outstanding post-season services that I project a profit with an out-of-body experience. Over and beyond? I assume that the c men will change over another final of the Eastern Conference.
