Eastern & Western Conference Predictions

Credit (NBA) The final four teams are set, and who will emerge to the 2026 NBA Finals

The Conference finals are upon us, and it's one of the best in recent memory, particularly on the West side. As we know, whoever emerges from this round will play for the title. So I am here to predict the winners on each side.

Eastern Conference

Knicks vs Cavaliers

The Knicks made light work of the 76ers and should be the favorites, coming up short last season and right back in the mix. The Cavaliers' surprising win over the Pistons was led by Donovan and James, who proved they can win when it matters. I think this series goes to six games, and I am willing to say this. I can't underestimate the duo of Donovan and James at this point, yet I believe the Knicks are the better team and will do in six games.

Western Conference

Spurs vs Thunder

We could see these two teams become one of the league's signature rivalries for years to come. While the Spurs are way ahead of schedule, with Wemby and the crew making a deep playoff run. The Thunder were previously undefeated until the Spurs took game one of this series. These two teams are really good, and we are watching SGA vs Wemby. I believe this series is going to seven games as it should, and I have OKC winning in seven.
