Basketball fans, the best time of the entire year has arrived. The postseason has arrived, and tickets have already been flying for every round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs.
The power players remain — the No. 1 seed Thunder, the East-leading Cavaliers and the reigning-champion Celtics all have the best chances to win it all — but plenty of other contenders have proved their worth over the past six months.
The bracket could get busted by some familiar faces, including multiple Cali-based duos. Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler have formed a new dominant 1-2 punch for the Warriors. LeBron James, Luka Doncic and the Lakers might be the scariest draw of the playoffs for their foes.

And don't forget about former champs like Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets, Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks, and Kawhi Leonard, who seems to be back to full health for the Clippers and ready to take on the field with fellow legend James Harden.
Young faces could make some serious noise, too. Anthony Edwards and the Wolves, Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers, Jalen Brunson and the Knicks, Jalen Green and the Rockets — these are all go-to scorers and slept-on squads that could make a push to the conference title round. Just think about who made it to the conference championships last year.
One thing's for sure: this should be one hell of a postseason — and there's never been a better time to get to a game in person.
