After a wild finish to the regular season that featured changes to the standings on a near daily basis, the 2024 NBA Playoffs have arrived.
The Celtics will be the team to beat in the Eastern Conference, as they cruised to the No. 1 overall seed with an impressive 64-18 record. The Knicks, Bucks, Cavaliers, Magic and Pacers already clinched first-round berths, while the 76ers, Heat, Bulls and Hawks will battle for the final two spots in the bracket.
In the Western Conference, the Thunder finished with the same 57-25 record as the Nuggets, but Oklahoma City earned the top seed via the head-to-head tiebreaker, dropping Denver to No. 2. The Timberwolves, Clippers, Mavericks and Suns can take a deep breath now that they are safely in the bracket, but the Pelicans, Lakers, Kings and Warriors still have work to do.
