The second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs is in full swing, and the East’s top seed now finds itself on the brink of elimination. The Indiana Pacers are up 3-1 in their best-of-seven against the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers after a blowout win on Sunday night in Game 4. The Pacers led by 41 points at halftime and will try to clinch the series in Game 5 on Tuesday. Elsewhere on Sunday, the Oklahoma Cit Thunder (the West’s top seed) evened up their second-round matchup with the Denver Nuggets, winning Game 4 on the road with a strong fourth quarter.
There are two more Game 4s on Monday. The reigning champion Boston Celtics will try to get a series-evening win against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden before the Golden State Warriors aim to do the same against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Warriors, however, are again set to be without Stephen Curry.d
It’s been an upset-heavy second round so far, but the Thunder remain the title favorites (+130 at DraftKings). The Celtics, despite being down 2-1 against the Knicks, have the second-best title odds and are still the favorites to win the East (-125).
