NBA playoffs have been full of upsets, late comebacks and overtime thrillers.

The Celtics and Golden State Warriors are one loss from 3-1 in the second round of the playoffs.

But which one has a better chance to overcome a 3 -2 deficit to advance? The Celtics have more talent beyond Jayson Tatum , but the Warriors' ceiling is still higher.

Cleveland 's 3 -2 zone has been effective in recent playoff games against the Pacers .

Jonathan Kuminga has been Golden State's most consistent offensive force in this series.

Ty Jerome is costing himself a lot of money this round, but that chance seems significantly slimmer after Game 4 loss.

Alex Caruso is one of the best defenders of the 21st century , according to xRAPM.

The Thunder knew what they were getting when they traded Josh Giddey for him last summer .

Coach Mark Daigneault has continued to conserve his role in the playoffs.

In Game 1 against Memphis, he was plus-30 in 12 minutes in the first half, despite not attempting a shot.
