NBA Week 24 Top Picks for this Week’s Best Matches

Say what you want about the play-in format of the NBA, but love it or hate it, you can’t deny that it has helped keep the playoff races interesting all the way to the end. We are now heading into the final week of the NBA regular season and there are still multiple postseason spots up for grabs in both conferences. Those spots will start to fill with each passing day as teams clinch and start to make the potential seeding look much clearer. As you might expect at this late stage of the proceedings, there are a ton of games with NBA playoff implications on the schedule this week, so let’s look ahead and see which ones jump off the page.

Can’t-miss games in the NBA season’s final week of the season

Boston Celtics at Philadelphia 76ers

When: Tuesday, April 4 at 8:00 pm ET
Where: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA
TV / Streaming: TNT

There are no games scheduled on Monday, but we have a beauty set to go on Tuesday night. Both of these teams have already clinched their playoff spots, but there is a chance they might meet up in the postseason. The Celtics have won 2 in a row and still have an outside shot at the #1 seed in the East, while the 76ers are trying to get back to winning ways after going 5-5 in their last 10. A win against a very good Celtics team might just give them the boost they need to get back to form ahead of the playoffs.

Sacramento Kings at Dallas Mavericks

When: Wednesday, April 5 at 8:30 pm ET
Where: American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX
TV / Streaming: NBA League Pass, NBCS CA, Bally SW

The Kings are all locked in as the #3 seed in the Western Conference, so you wonder if they might just take their foot off the gas a little coming down the stretch. The Mavericks do not have the luxury of doing that, though, as they are currently below the play-in line, a game back of the final spot. The Mavericks have lost 3 in a row and 7 of their last 10, but can they dig deep and get the wins they need to move into the play-in zone? A win here looks unlikely but getting it would be a major victory.

Denver Nuggets at Phoenix Suns

When: Thursday, April 6 at 10:00 pm ET
Where: Footprint Center, Phoenix, AZ
TV / Streaming: TNT

With a 3-game lead, the Denver Nuggets look to have the #1 seed all locked up, but this one is interesting in that it could be a potential playoff preview, depending on how things go after the opening round. The Phoenix Suns have battled injuries all season long, but they are getting healthy and heading towards the playoffs on a bit of a high after winning 5 in a row. They are going to need to settle for the #5 seed, but this is a team that nobody wants to face in the playoffs.

Memphis Grizzlies at Milwaukee Bucks

When: Friday, April 7 at 8:00 pm ET
Where: Fiserv Forum, Milwaukee, WI
TV / Streaming: NBA TV, Bally SE & WI

Could we be looking at a potential NBA Finals matchup with this one? It certainly would not be surprising to see both of these teams come out of their respective conferences. The Bucks have not clinched yet, but they look set to be the #1 seed in the East, as they are still 2 games up on the Boston Celtics. The Grizzlies look to be locked into the #2 seed in the West, and while they lost their last game, they have still won 8 of their last 10. This might well be the best matchup on the schedule this week.
