The Philadelphia 76ers are still in the conversation even though they're down 3-1 in their series with the Boston Celtics. They survived being swept on Monday and head back to Beantown for Game 5.
Regardless, the Cleveland Cavaliers will enter the Eastern Conference final as the heavy favorites to play the winner of the Warriors-Rockets series.
