The NBA postseason has arrived!

Can the Denver Nuggets make it back-to-back titles? Will the Boston Celtics stamp themselves as the best team after finishing with the best record in the regular season? Or will another contender rally to lift the Larry O’Brien trophy?

The bookmakers have the Celtics as the current favourites to win the title, followed by the Nuggets, while the Bucks, Clippers and Mavericks enter the postseason tied for the third-best odds to win it all.

The 2023-24 Playoffs will have no shortage of Aussies taking the floor, with Josh Giddey and the Oklahoma City Thunder finishing as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, along with Dante Exum and Josh Green on the Dallas Mavericks, and Dyson Daniels’ New Orleans Pelicans.

In the Eastern Conference, Joe Ingles and the Orlando Magic finished with the No. 5 seed, while Patty Mills and the Miami Heat suck into the postseason as the No. 8 seed.
