Detroit Pistons clinched the Eastern Conference's No. 1 seed at 60-22, fueling their 19.5% implied probability amid a breakout season, but traders temper enthusiasm due to playoff inexperience against the No. 8 Orlando Magic, whom they split 2-2 in the regular season. Boston Celtics hold top trader consensus at 39% as the No. 2 seed, bolstered by championship pedigree, a fully healthy Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown for today's Game 1 versus the No. 7 Philadelphia 76ers—missing Joel Embiid due to appendectomy recovery—and superior playoff experience. Cleveland Cavaliers sit at 22.5% after a dominant Game 1 rout of the No. 5 Toronto Raptors yesterday, hitting 50% from three in a momentum-building win. New York Knicks' 14.5% reflects their No. 3 seed stability heading into a first-round clash with the No. 6 Atlanta Hawks, with play-in tournaments wrapping April 17 finalizing the bracket.
