In the competitive world of modern NBA, analysis and strategy are crucial. However, in the 2025 playoff season, prediction has become a challenge. With favorite teams falling and unexpected results, looking beyond the statistics could be the key. Alofoke Deportes presents you with a unique perspective, analyzing the contenders through their zodiac signs.
Eastern Conference: Pacers vs. Knicks
The Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks face off in the Eastern Conference Finals, a duel that promises excitement. The first game will be played on Wednesday, and the series will define who advances to the NBA Finals.
Western Conference: Thunder vs. Timberwolves
In the West, the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Minnesota Timberwolves are competing for a spot in the finals. The first game will be played on Tuesday, marking the beginning of a crucial series.
Indiana Pacers
Tyrese Haliburton, born February 29, 2000 (Pisces), is the star of the Pacers. According to astrology, May represents an awakening for Pisces, and for Haliburton, this means being an efficient leader, orchestrating the game with passes and shots. Although his usage is the fourth highest on the team in the playoffs, his game vision and ability to feel the rhythm of the game set the tempo for one of the fastest and most creative teams in the NBA.
With Mercury and the full moon in Scorpio opening doors to connection and empowerment, Haliburton must trust his instincts and remain calm, leading a team that has altered the playoff landscape.
Supporting stars:
- Pascal Siakam, ♈️ Aries
- Andrew Nembhard, ♑️ Capricorn
- Aaron Nesmith, ♎️ Libra
- Myles Turner, ♈️ Aries
This template combines contrasts and chemistry. Siakam and Turner, both Aries, bring assertiveness: the former, a top-tier shot creator and rebounder, energizes the Pacers’ unpredictable offense; the latter fearlessly protects the rim. Nembhard, Capricorn, is disciplined and effective, with above-average passing and a rising shooting touch. Nesmith, Libra, provides “3-and-D” skills, creating an elemental balance: fire (Siakam and Turner), earth (Nembhard), and air (Nesmith), orbiting Haliburton’s offensive intuition.
New York Knicks
Jalen Brunson, born August 31, 1996 (Virgo), is the star of the Knicks. Brunson’s Virgo qualities (focus, strength, and hard work) propel the Knicks to the conference finals for the first time in 25 years. Brunson is the methodical engine driving the Knicks’ successful season, creating for himself and being unselfish.
With Mercury entering Taurus and the full moon in Scorpio, the moment demands that Brunson remain centered and sharp. Saturn’s transit at the end of May marks a turning point, directing Brunson’s ascent towards the legacy of a champion.
Supporting stars:
- Josh Hart, ♓️ Pisces
- Karl-Anthony Towns, ♏️ Scorpio
- Mikal Bridges, ♍️ Virgo
- OG Anunoby, ♋️ Cancer
The Knicks’ progress is based on water and earth, forming an adaptable team identity. Hart, Pisces, brings creativity and empathy. Towns, Scorpio, channels the need to prove something. Bridges, Virgo, offers silent intensity. Anunoby, Cancer, provides perimeter defense and reliability. The team’s astrological composition is ideal for overcoming the turbulence of the playoffs.

Minnesota Timberwolves
Anthony Edwards, born August 5, 2001 (Leo), is the star of the Timberwolves. Edwards is embracing his leadership and recognition. With Mars in Leo, his ambition to turn potential into reality.

Supporting stars:
- Jaden McDaniels, ♎️ Libra
- Rudy Gobert, ♋️ Cancer
- Julius Randle, ♐️ Sagittarius

They unite in elemental harmony: fire (Edwards, Randle), water (Gobert), and air (McDaniels, Conley), giving Minnesota the emotional range to stay cool under pressure.
Oklahoma City Thunder
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, born July 12, 1998 (Cancer), is the star of the Thunder. May offers a transformative month for Cancer, and for Gilgeous-Alexander, those changes could be profound. Gilgeous-Alexander is silencing the skeptics and leading with intuition and emotionality. With Mars clearing its retrograde shadow, this is his moment to step fully into his power.
The questions that arise are: Can Gilgeous-Alexander maintain emotional clarity and joy amid the pressure of legacy? Cancer signs are natural bearers of responsibility.
Supporting stars:
- Jalen Williams, ♈️ Aries
- Alex Caruso, ♓️ Pisces
- Cason Wallace, ♏️ Scorpio
- Chet Holmgren, ♉️ Taurus
Oklahoma City’s young core is built on talent and energetic diversity. Williams, Aries, brings aggression, although his shot could be better. Caruso, Pisces, is the team’s spiritual glue. Wallace, Scorpio, plays beyond his years. Holmgren, Taurus, brings consistency, with rim protection and a balanced game. This complete group is about cosmic harmony: fire (Williams), earth (Holmgren), and water (Caruso, Wallace), orbiting the protective intuition of Gilgeous-Alexander.
