Predicting Every Round Of The 2024 NBA Playoffs And Who Will Become The NBA Champion

e 2023-24 NBA Playoffs are set and we have a ton of exciting showdowns as early as in the first round. The Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers will play-in a series that could go seven games, and play-in games featuring the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, and Miami Heat will make it very interesting for the top seeds in both conferences. We have predicted the complete 2024 NBA Playoffs bracket until the winner of the NBA championship is named.

Eastern Conference Play-In

(7) Philadelphia 76ers vs. (8) Miami Heat

The Philadelphia 76ers are in the play-in tournament because Joel Embiid only featured in 39 games this season, but they are still a threat. Embiid back, Tyrese Maxey is still an All-Star, and the 76ers will have enough motivation to defeat the Jimmy Butler-led Miami Heat. The Heat couldn’t care less about losing their first play-in game because they like their chances against the winner of the Bulls and Hawks matchup as they embrace the underdog role yet again.

The Bulls and Hawks will compete against each other in the play-in game with a chance to face the title-challenging Heat. While the path ahead for both teams will likely end in tche next game, it will still be an entertaining watch. Trae Young can make anything happen, but the Bulls might have enough with DeMar DeRozan, Nikola Vucevi, and Coby White to get over the hump.
