The Miami Heat are in the NBA postseason!

Miami secured a spot in the playoffs after defeating the Chicago Bulls in their last game of the Play-In Tournament. Now, the Heat will be going for the upset against the Eastern Conference 1 seed Boston Celtics to continue their journey for the championship trophy.

Here's what to know about the Heat's 2024 playoff contention and how to follow along.

What Seed Are the Miami Heat in the 2024 NBA Playoffs?

The Heat ended the 2023-24 regular season with a 46-36 record, which was good enough to finish 8 seed in the Eastern Conference. As is tradition, the 8 seed faces the 1 seed in the first round of the playoffs.

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.
