2024 NBA Playoffs standings, schedule, results, games today: Pacers vs. Knicks and Wolves vs. Nuggets on Tuesday

The second round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs is in full swing and every series is up for grabs. On Monday, the top-seeded Boston Celtics prevailed in Cleveland against a Cavaliers team without Donovan Mitchell and took a commanding 3-1 lead. Despite being in control for most of the game in front of their home fans, the Dallas Mavericks lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder and are down by just two in this series.

The Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks will begin play on Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. ET when they meet at Madison Square Garden. The Pacers have won two straight in the series after New York's two opening victories. The undermanned Knicks will try to stop an unfortunate slide and the Pacers will look to take the series lead.

The away team has won each of the four games in the series between the Minnesota Timberwolves and reigning champion Denver Nuggets featured in Tuesday's nightcap. The Nuggets seemed out of sync in the 2-0 loss to Minnesota, but three days between Games 2 and 3 gave them a chance to regroup. Now the Wolves must turn things around or risk being eliminated in Game 6 at home.

The postseason field started with 20 teams. The Warriors, Kings, Hawks and Bulls were ousted in the play-in tournament before the Pelicans, Suns, Clippers, Lakers, Heat, 76ers, Bucks and Magic were eliminated in the first round.
