With the Golden State Warriors leading the Houston Rockets 3-2 and Kevin Durant out, who will advance to the Western Conference finals?
Durant has a minor right calf strain and won't play in Game 6 on Friday (ESPN, 9 p.m. ET) or a potential Game 7 on Sunday (ABC, 3:30 p.m. ET).
Betting odds now have the Warriors as consensus 7.5-point underdogs in Houston on Friday, though they are still the favorite to win the title assuming Durant eventually returns. FiveThirtyEight projections -- which factor in Durant's absence -- give the Warriors a 67 percent chance to advance
So, what's going to happen? ESPN's NBA experts update their pre-series predictions.
