The NBA season is nearing it’s conclusion, with favorites starting to form in both conferences.
The Boston Celtics are undoubtedly the favorites to reach the NBA Finals.
But there are several teams that can pull an upset in the postseason.
The Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat are two of the top teams that can arguably defeat the Celtics in a seven-game series.
NBA analyst Nick Wright predicts that fans will see an iconic battle between the Bucks and the Heat in the 2024 Eastern Conference Finals, via NBACentral.
“I just like the Heat in a series against Boston,” Wright said.

The Bucks were the number-one seed in the Eastern Conference last season.
However, they ended up getting eliminated in the first round of the playoffs against the eighth-seeded Heat.
Wright expects the Bucks to take revenge from the Heat come playoff time.
He simply believes that the Heat have a better chance of defeating the Celtics in a best-of-seven series rather than the Bucks.
Wright also pointed out that Giannis Antetokounmpo’s skills are being underestimated this season.
The Heat have struggled to play well so far in the regular season.
They are currently the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 35-30 record.
There are still 13 games left to be played for the Heat, but the franchise is not the favorite to defend it’s East crown.
Can the Heat pull off another amazing run in the playoffs as underdogs?
