The 2025 NBA Finals are still ongoing but the offseason has already begun and never really stops. Action Network NBA betting experts Brandon Anderson and Jim Turvey are already looking ahead to next year's playoffs to get ahead of the futures market. The Timberwolves, Pacers, and Knicks were all surprises in this year's NBA Final Four -- what teams are best set up to make a run in 2026? The East feels wide open, but do the guys agree with the Knicks, Cavs, and Pacers as co-favorites? Do the veteran Lakers or Warriors still have a run in them, and how far have the Celtics fallen? Jim's in early on Desmond Bane and the Magic, and Brandon sees value on... the 76ers?! The guys draft the most likely 2026 Conference Finals team and discuss how to bet it right here on Buckets!
