Who will win the NBA Finals? Predictions for 2024 NBA playoffs bracket

2024-12-28 04:34:03 Finance

Will the Denver Nuggets become the first team since the Golden State Warriors in 2017 and 2018 to repeat?

Or will the NBA produce a different champion for the sixth consecutive season?

Can anyone beat the Boston Celtics and stop them from winning the franchise’s 18th title, which would break a tie with the Los Angeles Lakers for most in NBA history?

Can a team emerge from the play-in game tournament and reach the conference finals or NBA Finals like the Lakers and Miami Heat did last season? And with so many tightly bunched teams based on regular-season records, does seeding matter less this season?

Those questions, along with others, will be answered as the playoffs unfold.

Here are NBA playoff predictions from USA TODAY Network staff writers:
