Will the Boston Celtics, who had an overwhelming regular season, be able to win the No. 18 championship game.
Boston is also the team receiving the most attention in the 2023-2024 National Basketball Association (NBA) playoffs, which will kick off on the 21st.
The NBA's playoffs will feature 16 teams, more than half of the total 30 clubs, and each series will be held in the best-of-seven series until June, the early summer.
All 16 teams have yet to be decided. The final decision will be made after two matches to decide the eighth seed in the playoff tournament that will take place on Saturday. The winner of the Miami Heat-Chicago Bulls will be the winner of the game between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Sacramento Kings in the Eastern Conference.
The winner of the Miami-Chicago game will play the first round against the Boston Celtics, who are ranked No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, and the winner of the New Orleans-Sacramento game will play the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are ranked No. 1 in the Western Conference. This season's NBA Playoffs will begin at 2 a.m. on Friday in Korean time with the first round match of the Eastern Conference between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Orlando Magic.
The strongest candidate in the NBA this season is Boston. With 64 wins and 18 losses in the regular season, Boston is the only team in the league to win more than 60. It is overwhelmingly No. 1 with a whopping 14 games gap with the New York Knicks (50-32), who are ranked second in the East.
Boston, led by Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown, has a solid balance of offense and defense, with an average gain and loss margin of 11.4 points this season, the only team out of 30 teams to exceed +10.
If Boston, which has not won since 2008, wins the championship this time, it will overtake the "Rival" LA Lakers (17 times) to become the NBA's single-most championship winner.
Meanwhile, in the Western Conference, the Lakers led by LeBron James and the Denver Nuggets of Nikola Jokic will face off from the first round.
The Lakers met Denver in the Western Conference finals last season and lost four straight games. Denver pushed its momentum and beat Miami in the championship game to win the championship. The Lakers have been particularly weak against Denver, losing all eight of their recent games.
