2024 NBA playoffs: Schedule, TV info with Play-In Tournament set, dates announced for first-round matchups

It is playoff time within the NBA. The postseason subject was finalized on Sunday, and seeding is now set in each conferences. The Oklahoma Metropolis Thunder clinched the West’s No. 1 seed on Sunday, and the Phoenix Suns jumped the New Orleans Pelicans to realize the No. 6 seed and a playoff berth within the West. Within the East, the New York Knicks beat the Chicago Bulls in time beyond regulation and earned the No. 2 seed, whereas the Milwaukee Bucks dropped to No. 4 with a blowout loss towards the Orlando Magic.

Here is a take a look at the entire playoff image, which options some massive names (just like the Lakers, 76ers, Warriors and Warmth) within the Play-In Match. The postseason will get began with the Play-In Match on Tuesday, April 16, and the Play-In will run via Friday, April 19. A reminder on how the Play-In event works: No. 7 will play No. 8 in every convention, and No. 9 will play No. 10. The winner of the 7-8 recreation will get the No. 7 seed, whereas the loser will face the winner of the 9-10 recreation for the No. 8 seed.

There can be a twist within the Play-In Match schedule this 12 months, too. Each Western Convention video games will happen on Tuesday earlier than we get 76ers vs. Warmth and Bulls vs. Hawks within the East on Wednesday. Sometimes, Tuesday sees the No. 7 vs. No. 8 in each conferences, however the 76ers should not in a position to host a recreation on Tuesday evening on account of a scheduling battle with the NHL’s Flyers.

The 4 first-round sequence set in stone proper now are Timberwolves-Suns, Clippers-Mavericks, Bucks-Pacers and Cavaliers-Magic. The NBA unveiled the dates that these sequence will get began, however time and TV data for the primary weekend of the playoffs has not but been introduced.
