2024 NBA playoffs
The 2024 NBA playoffs was the postseason tournament of the National Basketball Association's (NBA) 2023–24 season. The playoffs began on April 20 and concluded on June 17 with the Boston Celtics winning the 2024 NBA Finals over the Dallas Mavericks for their 18th championship, the most in NBA history. The 2024 title was the Celtics' first championship since 2008.
Eight teams from each conference participated in the playoffs. The top six teams in each conference, based on winning percentage, directly qualified for the playoffs; the seeding order of those teams was also based on winning percentage. If two or more teams had the same record, standard NBA tiebreaker rules were used.
The NBA Board of Governors adopted a format starting in 2021 to have a play-in tournament involving the teams ranked 7th through 10th in each conference. The 7th place team and 8th place team participated in a "double-chance" game, with the winner advancing to the playoffs as the 7-seed. The loser then played the winner of the elimination game between the 9th place and 10th place teams to determine the playoff's 8-seed. The NBA's regular playoff format then proceeded as normal.
Each conference's bracket was fixed with no reseeding. All rounds were a best-of-seven series; a series ended when one team won four games, and that team advanced to the next round. All rounds, including the NBA Finals, were in a 2–2–1–1–1 format with regards to hosting. In the conference playoffs, home-court advantage went to the higher-seeded team (number one being the highest). For the NBA Finals, home-court advantage went to the team with the better regular season record, and, if needed, ties were broken based on head-to-head record, followed by intra-conference record.
On March 14, 2024, the Boston Celtics became the first team to clinch a playoff spot. While noted in the below tables, division titles have no bearing on seeding.
Seeds 7 and 8 in each conference were determined via the first-stage play-in tournament, held April 16–19.
Chicago (39–43) and Atlanta (36–46) also secured play-in berths but did not advance to the playoffs.
Sacramento (46–36) and Golden State (46–36) also secured play-in berths but did not advance to the playoffs.
