There are no NBA games today. The next game is Sunday’s Western Conference semifinal decider between the Nuggets and the Thunder.

The 2025 Conference final lineup is practically decided. The Knicks booked their place on Friday, eliminating the defending champions, the Celtics to take the series 4-2. The New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers begin their best-of-seven series on Wednesday in the Eastern Conference finals.
Meanwhile, the Timberwolves wait to see who they will face in the Western Conference final, which stars Tuesday. The Denver Nuggets levelled their series against the Oklahoma City Thunder so that semifinal will be decided at the Paycom Center tomorrow night.
