It’s hard to believe but the NBA Playoffs are just a few weeks away. The regular season is winding down and the race for the playoffs is heating up. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming NBA Playoffs

When are the NBA Playoffs?
The NBA playoffs will begin on April 17 and will run through June 26. The playoffs will consist of four rounds, with each round getting progressively more difficult.

Who will be in the NBA Playoffs?
The eight teams thatwill advance to the NBA Playoffs are still to be determined. However, as of right now, the teams that look like they have the best chance of making it to the playoffs are the Brooklyn Nets Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers.

From the teams that are expected to make a deep run, to the players that will be key contributors, get caught up on everything you need to know before the NBA Playoffs tip off!

It’s hard to believe but the NBA season is already winding down and the Playoffs are right around the corner. In what has been a strange and unique season, a number of teams have separated themselves from the pack and look poised to make a deep run in the postseason. Here’s a look at what we know so far about the upcoming NBA playoffs

Who’s in?
As of right now, the eight teams that are expected to make the playoffs are the Brooklyn Nets Los Angeles Lakers Utah Jazz Denver Nuggets Milwaukee Bucks Philadelphia 76ers, Portland Trail Blazers and Clippers. All eight of these teams have been consistently good all season long and have earned their spot in the playoffs.

Who’s out?
It’s looking like the Chicago Bulls Charlotte Hornets Detroit Pistons Atlanta Hawks Miami Heat New York Knicks Sacramento Kings and Toronto Raptors will all miss out on the playoffs this year. While there is still a chance that one or two of these teams could sneak into the playoffs if they can string together some wins in their final games, it seems unlikely at this point.

What about home-court advantage?
The first two rounds of the NBA Playoffs are played entirely within each conference (East vs. East and West vs. West). This means that whichever team has the better record will automatically earn home-court advantage throughout those rounds. However, things become more complicated in the conference finals where home-court advantage goes to whichever team had the better record during that regular season – regardless of conference. So if for example, a team from the East (like Milwaukee) has a better record than any team from the West (like Denver), they would earn home-court advantage against any West team they might face in those Conference Finals The same would be true for a West team with a better record than any East team – they would have home-court advantage against any Eastern Conference foe in those Conference Finals Finally, in the NBA Finals home-court advantage goes to whichever team had the better Regular Season record out of whoever remains standing from each conference.

Who are some players to watch?
There are quite a few players who have really stood out this season and look poised to make an impact come playoff time. In no particular order, here are six guys to keep an eye on:
James Harden (Brooklyn Nets): Perhaps the leading MVP candidate at this point in the season, Harden has been nothing short of incredible for Brooklyn this year averaging 25 points per game while also dishing out over 11 assists per contest. His ability to create shots for himself and his teammates will be crucial for Brooklyn as they look to make a run at an NBA title
Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers): One of Portland’s two superstar guards, Lillard is averaging nearly 30 points per game while also shooting an impressive 38% from three-point range He’ll need to continue his scoring prowess if Portland wants to make some noise come playoff time.
Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks): The reigning MVP has once again been stellar for Milwaukee this season averaging nearly 29 points per game while also grabbing over 11 rebounds per contest. His size and athleticism make him tough to stop and he always seems to come up big when his team needs him most. He’ll be fun to watch come playoff time!

We break down each conference and take a look at the teams that have the best chance to make a run at the NBA Finals

It’s never too early to start thinking about the NBA playoffs and with the way the 2020-2021 Season is shaping up, there are a lot of potential contenders in both the Eastern and Western Conference In the East, we have the defending champion Miami Heat who are off to a great start, as well as the Milwaukee Bucks who have the best record in the conference. The Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets are also off to strong starts and look like they could be tough out in a seven-game series. In the West, there’s a three-way race for first place between the Los Angeles Lakers Los Angeles Clippers and Utah Jazz The Jazz have been the surprise team of the season so far and look like they could be a force to be reckoned with come playoff time. Other teams that could make some noise in the West include the Denver Nuggets Portland Trail Blazers and Phoenix Suns

So, which teams do we think have the best chance to make a run at the NBA Finals? Here’s a look at our top contenders from each conference:

Eastern Conference:
1. Miami Heat – The Heat are the defending champions and they’ve picked up right where they left off last season. They have one of the best players in the league in Jimmy Butler and he always steps up his game in big moments. They also have Bam Adebayo, who is one of the best young big men in the league. They will be tough to beat in a seven-game series.
2. Milwaukee Bucks – The Bucks have won back-to-back conference titles but they’ve fallen short of their ultimate goal of winning an NBA title They made some changes to their roster this offseason by adding Bogdan Bogdanovic and Jrue Holiday but they lost some key pieces as well (Khris Middleton and Malcolm Brogdon). They still have Giannis Antetokounmpo who is one of the best players in the world, but it remains to be seen if they have enough around him to win it all this season.
3. Philadelphia 76ers – The 76ers made it to last year’s Eastern Conference Finals but they were swept by eventual champion Miami Heat They made some changes to their roster as well this offseason by adding Dwight Howard Danny Green and Seth Curry They also lost Al Horford but he wasn’t necessarily a good fit with their style of play anyway. They have one of the best starting lineups in the league with Joel Embiid Ben Simmons Tobias Harris and Curry. They will be tough to beat in a seven-game series.
4 Brooklyn Nets – The Nets added two superstars to their roster this offseason when they signed Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant as free agents Durant is still recovering from his Achilles injury but Irving has been great so far this season when he’s been on the court. The Nets also added some solid role players like DeAndre Jordan and Garrett Temple. They will be tough to beat when Durant returns from injury because they will have too much firepower for most teams to handle

In the Western Conference the Golden State Warriors are the team to beat. They have the star power and the experience to make a deep run.

In the Western Conference the Golden State Warriors are the team to beat. They have the star power and the experience to make a deep run. The Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets are also Teams to Watch out for. In the Eastern Conference it is the Boston Celtics who are expected to make a deep run in the playoffs. They have one of the most complete rosters in the league and are led by All-Star point guard Kemba Walker The Milwaukee Bucks and the Philadelphia 76ers are also teams to keep an eye on.

In the Eastern Conference the Boston Celtics are the team to watch They have a deep roster and are led by one of the best players in the league in Kyrie Irving The Celtics also have a solid supporting cast, including Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown If they can stay healthy, they will be a tough team to beat in the playoffs.

In the Western Conference it is tough to say who will come out on top. The Los Angeles Lakers are the defending champions, but they lost some key pieces from their championship team. The Lakers will still be a good team, but they may not be as dominant as they were last season.

The Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors are two other teams to watch in the Western Conference Both teams have star players in James Harden and Steph Curry respectively. They also both have good supporting casts. These two teams could end up meeting in the Western Conference Finals

There are a few dark horses in each conference that could make some noise in the playoffs. The Portland Trail Blazers in the West and the Philadelphia 76ers in the East are two teams to keep an eye on.

It’s still early in the NBA season but there are a few teams that are starting to separate themselves from the pack. In the Western Conference the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers are clearly the two best teams. The Lakers have started the season on a tear, led by Lebron James and Anthony Davis The Clippers have been right behind them, led by Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.

In the Eastern Conference it’s been a three-team race so far between the Milwaukee Bucks Philadelphia 76ers, and Brooklyn Nets The Bucks have the best record in the conference, led by MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo The Sixers have been right behind them, led by Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons And the Nets have been close behind, led by Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving
