NBA Playoffs Begin: Celtics Lead 1-0
Four More Series Start Sunday
The playoffs begin on Saturday and Sunday in the 2024 NBA playoffs, with four more first-round series getting started on Sunday.
Celtics Seek Next Level in Playoffs
The Celtics, who finished the regular season with a league-best 60-win record, will look to build on their 1-0 series lead in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. They will face the Miami Heat, who easily beat the Chicago Bulls 112-91 on Friday night.
This is the first time since 2010 that the Celtics have won the first game of a playoff series. They will look to continue their success in Game 2 on Sunday.
The Celtics are led by Jayson Tatum, who averaged 30.4 points per game during the regular season. He is joined by Jaylen Brown, who averaged 26.4 points per game. The Celtics also have a strong supporting cast, including Marcus Smart, Al Horford, and Robert Williams III.
The Heat are led by Jimmy Butler, who averaged 21.4 points per game during the regular season. He is joined by Bam Adebayo, who averaged 19.1 points per game. The Heat also have a strong supporting cast, including Kyle Lowery, Tyler Herro, and Caleb Martin.
The Celtics are the favorites to win the series, but the Heat are a dangerous opponent. The Heat have won two of the last three NBA championships, and they have a lot of experience in the playoffs.
