Who Are the Miami Heat Playing in the 2024 Playoffs?
As the 8 seed, the Heat play the Boston Celtics 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 (Celtics will host Games 1 and 2, plus Games 5 and 7 if those are necessary. The worse seed (Heat) hosts Games 3 and 4, plus Game 6 if that is necessary.
Looking ahead, if the Heat win this series and advance, they would face either the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference semifinals, as the NBA playoff matchups do not re-seed in each round.
