NBA Playoffs 2024: Conference Finals News, Schedule, Scores, and Highlights

The stage is set for the NBA playoffs’ conference finals. Four teams remain in the bracket, and only two will earn the chance to compete in the 2024 NBA Finals.

The league-leading Boston Celtics have continued their dominant run through the Eastern Conference, securing their second consecutive five-game series win with the highest odds, this time against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Boston will face the surprising Indiana Pacers, who decisively defeated the short-handed New York Knicks in Game 7.

In the Western Conference, the Minnesota Timberwolves made headlines by overcoming three-time MVP Nikola Jokic and the defending champion Denver Nuggets in a thrilling Game 7 comeback. This victory marks the Timberwolves’ first appearance in the conference finals since 2004.

We at BetZillion are excited for each team to win their best-of-seven series to advance to the NBA Finals. All four rounds of the NBA playoffs follow a best-of-seven format, and teams are not reseeded after each round. The team with the better regular-season record in each series will have home-court advantage, following a 2-2-1-1-1 format. The team with the better record hosts Games 1, 2, 5, and 7 (if necessary).
