The Eastern Conference Final is set with an iconic showdown between the Knicks and the Pacers.
For the Western Conference, a pivotal Game 7 between Denver and Oklahoma City on Sunday will decide who faces Minnesota in the conference finals. Anthony Edwards has knocked out multiple stars on his journey to an NBA Championship, including LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Steph Curry, and Jimmy Butler. He will draw either Nikola Jokic or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander next.

Jokic and SGA have averaged nearly 30 points per game in the series.
Edwards is prepared to face either one, but it will be interesting to see which one he draws.
Jokic, a three-time NBA Most Valuable Player and seven-time All-Star, captured a NBA Championship in 2023. He is arguably the most well-rounded center in the league; however, Alexander earned league MVP this year for the first time in his career.
Both are elite talents, but we will see who faces “Ant-Man” in the conference finals.
