NFL Draft is coming up!
The 16-team bracket is set in the 2024 NBA playoffs, and the first round is underway. Road teams finally picked up some wins Tuesday night. The Pacers (who beat the Bucks) and the Mavericks (who took down the Clippers in Kawhi Leonard’s return) became the first teams to get road victories in these playoffs as they evened their first-round series on Tuesday night. The Wolves also got another win against the Suns to go up 2-0.
The Wolves joined the Knicks, Nuggets and Cavaliers as teams with 2-0 series leads after defending their home courts. The Celtics and Thunder — top seeds in their respective conferences — will try to follow suit on Wednesday.
The first round of these NBA playoffs will run through May 5. Here’s how CBS Sports experts are picking their brackets.
