Here’s the latest on the 2024 NBA playoffs bracket.
- The bracket was finalized after the regular season and play-in games, with the Western Conference featuring the Thunder, Nuggets, Timberwolves, Clippers, Mavericks, Suns, Lakers, and Pelicans in close seeding battles, and the Eastern Conference led by the Celtics, Knicks, Bucks, Cavaliers, Sixers, and Heat in the mix.[1][3][4]
- Key first-round matchups included No. 1 seed. OKC (West) vs. No. 8 Pelicans, and No. 1 seed Celtics (East) vs. No. 8 Heat, among others that defined the opening series landscape.[3][1]
- By late April, several series had progressed with teams like the Mavericks advancing in the West and the Celtics pushing deeper into the East playoffs, shaping conference finals outlooks.[5][3]
