The NBA Playoffs are approaching their climax as the Conference Finals have been set. In the Eastern Conference, the Boston Celtics will face the Indiana Pacers, while in the Western Conference, the season's revelation, the Minnesota Timberwolves, will take on the Dallas Mavericks led by Luka Doncic.

The Celtics advanced comfortably after eliminating the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games, whereas Indiana knocked out a depleted New York Knicks team in a Game 7 showdown at Madison Square Garden.

In the West, the Timberwolves, driven by an outstanding Anthony Edwards, ousted the defending champions, the Denver Nuggets with Nikola Jokic, in a series that went to seven games. The Mavericks, on the other hand, eliminated the Oklahoma City Thunder, the top seed in the regular season.

According to Opta, the most probable NBA Finals matchup is between the Celtics and the Timberwolves, with 81.5% and 70.3% chances of advancing in their respective series. Should this combination occur, the Celtics would be vying for their 17th championship ring, while Minnesota would be seeking to taste glory for the first time in their history.
