The first round of the 2024 NBA playoffs wraps up Sunday afternoon with the first Game 7 of the postseason. It's Cavaliers vs. Magic in a win-or-go-home matchup Sunday afternoon in Cleveland. The winner of the East's No. 4 vs. No. 5 battle will advance to face the top-seeded Celtics in the next round and fill out the second-round bracket.
Seven other teams have already advanced to the second round -- the Mavericks, Knicks, Pacers, Celtics, Thunder, Nuggets, Timberwolves -- and one of them already has a 1-0 lead in the conference semifinals. The Timberwolves took down the reigning champion Nuggets in Denver in Game 1 of their second-round matchup on Saturday.
Game 2 of Nuggets-Wolves is set for Monday night, the same day the Knicks and Pacers kick off their second-round series. Thunder-Mavericks and Celtics vs. either the Cavs or Magic will get started on Tuesday. The second round could run through Monday, May 20.
