The second round of 2024 NBA The playoffs are in full swing and every series is up for grabs. Monday, the top seed Boston Celtics sawed a Donovan Mitchell without Riders team in Cleveland to take a 3-1 series lead. Although they remained in control for most of the match in front of their home fans, the Dallas Mavericks fell into the hands of Oklahoma City Thunderand this series is tied to two each.
THE Indiana Pacers And New York Knicks Tuesday’s action begins at 8 p.m. ET when they meet at Madison Square Garden. The Pacers have won two straight in the series after New York’s first two victories. The undermanned Knicks will try to stop an untimely skid and the Pacers will aim to take the series lead.
The road team won each of the four games in the series between Minnesota Timberwolves and the reigning champion Denver Nuggets, which will be featured in Tuesday’s Nightcap. The Nuggets looked out of sync in their 0-2 loss to Minnesota, but three days between Games 2 and 3 gave them a chance to regroup. Now the Wolves must turn things around or risk being eliminated at home in Game 6.
The playoff field started with 20 teams. THE Warriors, kings, Falcons And Bulls were ousted during the Play-In tournament before the Pelicans, Suns, ClippersLakers, Heat, 76ers, Deer And Magic were eliminated in the first round.
