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 go back-to-back in the Finals 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.
