Warriors vs. Rockets and Wolves vs. Lakers are on Wednesday’s schedule
The 2025 NBA playoffs continue Wednesday night with a pair of elimination games. First the Golden State Warriors will try to punch their ticket to the second round and send the Houston Rockets packing in Game 5 of their first-round series. Then the Minnesota Timberwolves will attempt to oust the Los Angeles Lakers in L.A.
Four teams have already advanced to the second round, including the Indiana Pacers and Boston Celtics, who knocked out the Milwaukee Bucks and Orlando Magic, respectively, on Tuesday night.
The Oklahoma City Thunder, the title favorites (+145 on DraftKings), have perhaps looked the most impressive after their sweep of the Memphis Grizzlies, but the Cavs also dispatched the Miami Heat in dominant fashion.
We’ll be with you every step of the way as the competition marches on. Below is the schedule for the 2025 NBA playoffs.
