Boston Celtics lead trader consensus at 36.5% implied probability to win the Eastern Conference, fueled by Jayson Tatum's return from an Achilles injury—scoring 20 points in his recent Cleveland matchup—and a three-game win streak clinching a top-6 playoff seed ahead of the April 18 first round. Their elite depth, top-5 offense and defense, sweep of the Cavaliers (18.0%), and coach Joe Mazzulla's schemes position them as playoff favorites despite trailing Detroit's 54-20 record. Pistons sit at 12.5% amid Cade Cunningham's recent injury scare and unproven postseason pedigree, while Knicks (15.5%) clinched top-6 via Philadelphia's loss, and Cavaliers hold steady with Donovan Mitchell leading amid minor injuries like Jarrett Allen's knee issue. Charlotte's surprise 5.1% reflects a hot streak upending Knicks recently.
