Duo comfortably lead the way in the East so far this season.
The Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers are strong favourites to make the Eastern Conference Finals again this year, but which teams are capable of preventing it from happening?
Given the early struggles for many of their more immediate rivals, it looks as though there is little value in backing anything but a repeat of last year’s Conference Finals.
However, while there is still a long way to go in the regular season, there are five teams that possess the pieces necessary to at least provide them with a test.
There is a notable mention for the Atlanta Hawks who currently lead the rest of the pack, but ultimately over the course of a seven-game series they will not be highly fancied.
