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 attempting 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).
