Several underdog teams in the 2024 NBA playoffs have the potential to cause upsets.

The Indiana Pacers could have an edge over the Milwaukee Bucks if Giannis Antetokounmpo is sidelined or not at full strength.

The Miami Heat, with a reputation for resilience and led by Jimmy Butler, can threaten higher-seeded opponents.

The Philadelphia 76ers, bolstered by Joel Embiid's return from injury, have the capability to defeat the New York Knicks.

Lacking in playoff experience, the Minnesota Timberwolves still have a strong defensive team that could surprise the Phoenix Suns.
