Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Playoff Schedule 2024 (Times, Dates, and TV Channel)

This will be the Cavaliers second playoff appearance in a row. Shooting guard Donovan Mitchell leads the team with the most points per game for this season, with 26.6 per game.
Here's what to know about the Cleveland Cavaliers' 2024 playoff contention and how to follow along.
What Seed Are the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2024 NBA Playoffs?
The Cavaliers ended the 2023-24 regular season with a 48-34 record, which was good enough to finish as the 4 seed in the Eastern Conference. As is tradition, the 4 seed faces the 5 seed in the first round of the playoffs.
Who Are the Cleveland Cavaliers Playing in the 2024 Playoffs?
As the 4 seed, the Cavaliers play the Orlando Magic in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. This will be a typical best-of-seven series that follows the 2-2-1-1-1 format. That means the better seed (Cavaliers) will host Games 1 and 2, plus Games 5 and 7 if those are necessary. The worse seed (Magic) hosts Games 3 and 4, plus Game 6 if that is necessary.
Looking ahead, if the Cavaliers win this series and advance, they would face either the Boston Celtics or the undetermined 8 seed in the Eastern Conference semifinals, as the NBA playoff matchups do not re-seed in each round.
