Watch NBA game

The first round of the 2024 NBA playoffs is just around the corner. With a few more play-in games to get through, the playoffs will begin with four games on Sunday AEST and another four on Monday AEST.

Each eight teams from the Eastern and Western conferences will face off in a best-of-7 series to advance. Currently, the Boston Celtics hold the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, hoping to return to the Finals for the first time since 2022. The Celtics are followed by the No. 2 seed New York Knicks.

Meanwhile, the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder in the West are in the playoffs for the first time since 2020. The defending champion Denver Nuggets, fortunately, continued its strong game this season as the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference.

If you’re gearing up to witness the NBA Playoffs 2024 in Australia, below are game time schedules plus where to watch it live, including free online replays.
