ESPN's Summer Forecast has answered some of the NBA's biggest questions heading
into the 2024-25 season. Experts gave their predictions for the league's biggest
awards, East and West standings and now will round out the forecast with
conference champions and Finals winners.
This season, the Boston Celtics will look to become the first back-to-back
champs since the Golden State Warriors in 2017 and 2018, but there will be
challengers.
The Philadelphia 76ers will seek to return to the Eastern Conference finals for
the first time since 2001 behind Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and newly acquired
All-Star forward Paul George. The New York Knicks could also challenge in the
East behind their "Nova-Knicks" which now includes two-way star Mikal Bridges.
After a fumbled run in the 2024 Finals, the Dallas Mavericks have upgraded their
dominating offense (led by Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving) by adding Klay
Thompson. But they will face other top contenders, notably Shai
Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Anthony Edwards-led
Minnesota Timberwolves.
We asked our experts to rank their top choices for the East and West -- and the
eventual NBA champion -- with a first-place vote receiving five points, a
second-place vote receiving three and a third-place vote receiving one.
Here are the results:
Note: This week, our 2024-25 NBA Summer Forecast has covered the biggest
questions, projections for top awards, including MVP and DPOY, and Eastern and
Western win-loss projections.

The Celtics seem inevitable.
Jayson Tatum signed one of the largest contracts in NBA history this offseason
and Boston will return eight rotation players from last season's title team,
including Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Al Horford and Jrue Holiday. However, an
expensive roster and a potential sale of a majority stake of the team could be
the catalysts that halts a possible dynasty. The Celtics are clear favorites in
our forecast to return to the Finals, but who can stop them from achieving their
19th title?
The 76ers make their case as front-runners after adding nine-time All-Star Paul
George, one of the best two-way players in the league.
Tyrese Maxey, last season's Most Improved Player after a career-best season,
will look to take the next step as Philly's lead guard, but only with the help
of 2022 NBA MVP Joel Embiid.
The Knicks are close behind the 76ers. Despite injury woes to OG Anunoby,
Mitchell Robinson and Julius Randle throughout the season, the Knicks came
within one game of the East finals. If coach Tom Thibodeau's team can stay
healthy, it is one of the Celtics' most formidable foes.
The Bucks will hope that Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard can find their
groove in their second season together, while Donovan Mitchell will try to get
the Cavaliers back to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2018.

The Oklahoma City Thunder nabbed the No. 1 seed in the West last season, but
lost to the Dallas Mavericks in the conference semifinals in a six-game
series. Alonzo Adams-USA TODAY Sports
WHO WILL WIN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS?
The Thunder -- the youngest top seed in NBA history -- lost in the second round
to the eventual conference champion Mavericks, but hopes are high in Oklahoma
City. The roster returns with playoff experience, MVP candidate Shai
Gilgeous-Alexander and the additions of defensive stopper Alex Caruso and
rebounding big man Isaiah Hartenstein.
Following the Thunder are the Timberwolves, who made the conference finals in
Anthony Edwards' breakout fourth season. Edwards returns to Minnesota as an
Olympic gold medalist after defeating teammate Rudy Gobert and France in the
title game.
The Mavericks finished third in the voting after a run to the 2024 NBA Finals
and the addition of five-time All-Star Klay Thompson during free agency.
Three-time MVP Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets landed in fourth after a surprise
second-round exit ended their title defense. Denver also lost Kentavious
Caldwell-Pope in the offseason as its roster continues to change shape after
winning the 2023 championship.
Kevin Durant's Phoenix Suns and LeBron James' Los Angeles Lakers round out our
panel's top six. Will Durant and James be able to hold off the conference's new
faces who are trying to take the reins in the West?

1. Oklahoma City Thunder: 83 points
2. Minnesota Timberwolves: 48 points
3. Dallas Mavericks: 29 points
4. Denver Nuggets: 18 points

Boston finished the 2024-25 NBA regular season with a 64-18 record and only lost
three games in the postseason. Brian Fluharty-USA TODAY Sports
WHO WILL WIN THE NBA FINALS?
Boston has everything it needs to become the NBA's next dynasty: two All-NBA
wings in Tatum and Brown, two All-Defense guards in Holiday and White, a matchup
nightmare in center Kristaps Porzingis and a versatile big man in Al Horford.
But standing in their way could be the NBA's next MVP. Gilgeous-Alexander, last
season's MVP runner-up and our panel's third choice for the award this season,
is just 26 and has the young Thunder on a path to perennial title contention.
Our experts give Boston a heavy advantage to repeat, but OKC will surely seek to
make more noise in the playoffs.
Elsewhere on the list, the 76ers and the Knicks, two teams that made monster
moves this summer, received votes to capture the 2025 title. Philly hasn't
celebrated an NBA championship since 1983, while New York has been waiting since
1973. The Mavericks, last season's West champion, received just six votes.
