What Teams Are Going To The Nba Playoffs 2021?

The 2021 NBA playoffs will begin on Saturday, May 22. The playoffs will end no later than July 22.
The NBA playoffs are a best-of-seven tournament featuring the top eight teams in each conference.

The 2020-2021 NBA Season

With the 2020-2021 NBA season finally coming to an end, the excitement for the playoffs is at an all-time high. This season has been unique in many ways, but the one constant has been the outstanding play of some of the league’s best teams. Here is a look at the teams that are most likely to make the playoffs this year.

The 2020-2021 NBA Season is the 75th season of the National Basketball Association

The 2020-2021 NBA season is the 75th season of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The regular season began on December 22, 2020, and will end on May 16, 2021. The playoffs will then begin on May 22, 2021, and will end with the NBA Finals in June.

As of March 11, 2021, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Milwaukee Bucks have the best records in their respective conferences. The Lakers hold a 41-12 record, while the Bucks hold a 40-14 record. These two teams are currently on pace to earn the top seeds in their respective conferences.

The field for the 2021 NBA playoffs is still wide open, as there are several teams within striking distance of a postseason berth. In the Eastern Conference, the Brooklyn Nets, Miami Heat, Boston Celtics, and Indiana Pacers are all within three games of each other for the fourth through seventh seeds. In the Western Conference, six teams are within four games of each other for seeds four through nine.

The 2020-2021 NBA season has been unique in many ways. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all 30 teams have played their games in empty arenas. This has caused some players to struggle with motivation and focus. Additionally, a number of high-profile players have missed significant time due to injuries or health and safety protocols.

Despite these challenges, the 2020-2021 NBA season has been very entertaining. There have been many surprise teams and players who have stepped up in a big way. It should be an exciting race to the finish line and an equally exciting postseason.

The teams that have clinched a playoff berth

With less than a week to go in the 2020-2021 NBA regular season, we finally have a good idea of which teams will be heading to the playoffs. So far, the Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers, Brooklyn Nets, Utah Jazz, Phoenix Suns, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, and the Portland Trail Blazers have all clinched a playoff berth.

The Eastern Conference

The Eastern Conference playoff race is winding down, and with only a few games remaining, we now know which teams will be moving on to the postseason.

The Milwaukee Bucks have clinched the top seed in the conference, and they will be joined by the Brooklyn Nets, the Philadelphia 76ers, the Toronto Raptors, the Boston Celtics, and the Miami Heat.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Bucks will take on the eighth-seeded Orlando Magic, while the Nets will face off against the seventh-seeded Indiana Pacers. The 76ers will play the Heat in what should be a tough series, and the Raptors will take on the Celtics in a rematch of last year’s conference semifinals.

The Western Conference

The Western Conference is home to the defending NBA champions, the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers have had a phenomenal season and currently sit atop the conference with a record of 35-19. Other teams in contention for the playoffs in the West include the Utah Jazz (34-20), Portland Trail Blazers (33-21), Denver Nuggets (32-21), and the Phoenix Suns (31-21).

The teams that are still in the running for a playoff berth

With about a week left in the NBA regular season, there are still a few teams vying for a playoff spot. The playoff picture is far from being set, and it will likely come down to the wire. Here are the teams that are still in the running for a playoff berth.

The Eastern Conference

In the Eastern Conference, the Milwaukee Bucks have clinched the first seed. The Brooklyn Nets, led by superstar Kevin Durant, have clinched the second seed. The Philadelphia 76ers have clinched the third seed, while the Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat are still in a heated battle for the fourth and final seed in the conference.
In the Western Conference, the Utah Jazz have clinched the first seed. The Phoenix Suns have clinched the second seed. The Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets are battling it out for the third and fourth seeds, with both teams currently tied at 42-19.

The Western Conference

The Western Conference is an incredibly close race this season, with only two games separating the third seed from the tenth seed.

As of now, the Los Angeles Lakers are in the lead with a record of 35-22. The second seed goes to the Denver Nuggets, who are only half a game behind the Lakers with a record of 34-22. Right behind them are the Portland Trail Blazers and Dallas Mavericks, who both have records of 33-22. The Jazz and Clippers are not too far behind with records of 32-22 and 31-23 respectively.
Rounding out the playoff picture in the West are the Suns , Grizzlies, Spurs, and Pelicans, who all have winning records as well.

The teams that have been eliminated from the playoff race

As the regular season comes to a close, the playoff race is heating up. Some teams have already clinched a spot, while others are fighting for their lives. The teams that have been eliminated from the playoff race are the Dallas Mavericks, the Charlotte Hornets, the Brooklyn Nets, and the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Eastern Conference

The Eastern Conference is wide open this year, with no clear front-runner. The Milwaukee Bucks have the best record in the conference, but they have been inconsistent of late. The Toronto Raptors are second in the conference, but they are without star player Kawhi Leonard. The Philadelphia 76ers are third in the conference, but they have been beset by injuries all season. The Boston Celtics are fourth in the conference, but they have not been playing their best basketball of late. So who will make the playoffs in the East? Here is a look at the teams that have been eliminated from the playoff race:

The Miami Heat have been one of the biggest surprises in the NBA this season, but they will miss the playoffs. The Heat started the season 11-30, but they went on a remarkable run to finish 41-41. However, it was not enough to make the playoffs in the East.

The Charlotte Hornets were in playoff contention for much of the season, but they ultimately fell short. The Hornets finished 36-46 and will miss the playoffs for the sixth straight year.

The Detroit Pistons were another team that was in playoff contention for much of the season, but they ultimately fell short. The Pistons finished 39-43 and will miss the playoffs for the second straight year.

The Orlando Magic were preseason favourites to make the playoffs in the East, but they failed to live up to expectations. The Magic finished 33-49 and will miss the playoffs for the sixth straight year.

The Western Conference

The Western Conference is wide open this year, with a number of teams still in contention for the playoffs. As of right now, the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs are on the outside looking in, but they’re both still within striking distance of the eighth seed. The Los Angeles Lakers are currently in first place, but they’re only a half-game ahead of the second-place Denver Nuggets. It’s anyone’s guess who will come out on top in the West this year.
