The 2025 NBA Playoffs continue Sunday with the No. 1 seeds in both conferences, as well as the defending champions, officially tipping off their respective series. The Oklahoma City Thunder, holders of the best record in the league, will get their series against the Memphis Grizzlies going to start off the day's slate. The Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic will be the second part of the NBA's afternoon doubleheader. Orlando won the first play-in game to capture the No 7 seed. The No. 1 Cleveland Cavaliers will host the Miami Heat, who became the first No. 10 seed to ever advance out of the play-in tournament. The No. 2 Houston Rockets will host the No. 7 Golden State Warriors to conclude the day's action, renewing one of the best playoff rivalries in recent memory with a host of new characters.

The Rockets and Warriors matched up four times in the playoffs from 2015-19, including two meetings in the Western Conference Finals. Golden State won all four series, but was famously pushed to a Game 7 in 2018 and was fortunate Houston missed 27 straight 3-point shots in that contest. The teams have changed substantially ahead of this latest matchup. The Rockets have a young core headlined by Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun, while Golden State swapped out Klay Thompson for Jimmy Butler to support Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. Butler has been a force since joining Golden State, but will he continue building the "Playoff Jimmy" legacy against one of the best defensive teams in the league?
