The Denver Nuggets have moved on in the 2025 NBA playoff bracket, sending the Los Angeles Clippers packing in a Game 7 blowout win on Saturday night. The Nuggets are the seventh team to advance, and the full second round will be set after the Houston Rockets host the Golden State Warriors on Sunday in a Game 7 of their own.

The Pacers can put the Bucks in the rearview mirror and turn their attention to a team that will require all of it: the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers

Still, Cleveland should be considered the favorite to win this best-of-seven matchup, and that's exactly what one NBA expert is forecasting to happen. Steve Aschburner of NBA.com recently published his preview and prediction for the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals and believes the Cavaliers will ultimily win this series in six games.
