2024 NBA playoffs bracket: Postseason matchups as Heat claim East's final spot, will face Celtics
The 2024 NBA postseason kicked off this week, and three teams have already been eliminated from the bracket. The Warriors, Hawks and Bulls have seen their seasons come to a close in the Play-In Tournament, while the Heat, Lakers and 76ers have advanced to the playoffs. The Heat claimed the East's No. 8 seed on Friday night, eliminating the Bulls with a blowout win without Jimmy Butler.
In the West's final Play-In game, the Kings -- who knocked out the Warriors -- are facing the Zion Williamson-less Pelicans on Friday with the West's No. 8 seed up for grabs.
With the Heat, Lakers and 76ers advancing, seven of the eight first-round playoff matchups are set. It will be Celtics-Heat, Knicks-76ers, Bucks-Pacers and Cavaliers-Magic in the East, and Nuggets-Lakers, Timberwolves-Suns and Clippers-Mavericks in the West.
