As of 5/9, no teams have advanced to the NBA Conference Finals. However, several teams are one game away from moving onto the next round.
In the Eastern Conference:
- Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers are tied at 2-2
- Miami Heat lead the New York Knicks, 3-1
The Celtics host the 76ers on Tuesday night for a pivotal Game 5. In a 2-2 series, the winner of Game 5 goes on to win the series 80% of the time.
The Heat are looking to make their second-straight trip to the Conference Finals. They will have at least three chances to beat the Knicks, with the first on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.
In the Western Conference:
- Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns are tied at 2-2.
- Los Angeles Lakers lead the Golden State Warriors, 3-1.
The Nuggets host the Suns on Tuesday night in a crucial Game 5, with the winner putting themselves in the driver’s seat.
LeBron James and the Lakers are seeking their second conference finals appearance in four years. If Golden State loses the series, it will mark the team’s first playoff appearance since 2013-2014 when the Warriors failed to make the Finals.
