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 area 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.

This is a take a look at the whole playoff image, which options some huge names (just like the Lakers, 76ers, Warriors and Warmth) within the Play-In Event. The postseason will get began with the Play-In Event on Tuesday, April 16, and the Play-In will run by way of 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 might be a twist within the Play-In Event schedule this yr, 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. Usually, Tuesday sees the No. 7 vs. No. 8 in each conferences, however the 76ers will not be in a position to host a recreation on Tuesday night time as a result of a scheduling battle with the NHL’s Flyers.

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