Both No. 1 seeds, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder, have advanced to Round 2 of the 2025 NBA playoffs after sweeping their first-round opponents, the Miami Heat and Memphis Grizzlies, respectively. The second round is set to begin between May 5 and May 6, but could start earlier depending on the conclusion of first-round series, with no reseeding of teams after the first round. Potential matchups include the Cavaliers facing the winner of the Pacers-Bucks series and the Thunder meeting the winner of the Nuggets-Clippers series.
