The second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs continued on Friday night, with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Denver Nuggets emerging victorious in a pair of Game 3s. It was the first win of the series for the top-seeded Cavs, who now trail the Indiana Pacers, 2-1. In the night cap, the Nuggets were able to pull out an overtime thriller to take a 2-1 lead over the Thunder, who are the No. 1 overall seed in the playoffs after finishing with the league’s best record.

The action keeps on rolling on Saturday, with the New York Knicks trying to take a commanding 3-0 lead over the Boston Celtics at 3:30 p.m. ET, while the 1-1 series between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors shifts to San Francisco for Game 3 at 8:30 p.m. ET.

It’s been an upset-heavy second round so far, but the Oklahoma City Thunder remain the title favorites (+170 at DraftKings). The Celtics, despite being down 0-2 against the Knicks, have the second-best title odds and are still the favorites to win the East (+330).

2025 Truist Championship TV schedule, coverage, channel, live stream, where to watch PGA Tour event online

Getty Images The sixth signature event of the 2025 PGA Tour season enters the weekend with the Truist Championship being held at Philadelphia Cricket Club for the first time.
