The best time of the year is finally here – the NBA playoffs tip off tonight!
We’re just hours away from the opening matchup between the Pacers and Bucks (20:00 Latvian time), and the two-month basketball marathon is about to begin. That also means the X3000 NBA Bracket 2025 will be officially underway!
You still have a little time to register and submit your buy-in, but don’t wait too long!
This year, the participation fee is 33 euros, of which 25 eur will go to the big pool while 8 eur we will give to the administrator of the official page (not me). For the 1st time, the buyin for the competition will happen through our partners Passportix.eu.
You can do it here.
Here are all the 1st round matchups:
Western Conference
- Thunder – Grizzlies
- Rockets – Warriors
- Lakers – Timberwolves
- Nuggets – Clippers
Eastern Conference
- Cavaliers – Heat
- Celtics – Magic
- Knicks – Pistons
- Pacers – Bucks
Mark your calendars: on Sunday at 22:30 Latvian time, Kristaps Porziņģis and the Celtics will take the court to host the Magic – a perfect way to wrap up the weekend!
Don’t forget:
- Submit your predictions for each playoff series before the first game of that series begins.
- Your champion prediction must be locked in before the Pacers vs. Bucks game tonight.
- Player awards must be submitted by Sunday at 20:00 Latvian time
- X3000 Nostradamus is also live – make your predictions for each individual game and start collecting BINGOS! The top player in each round will win prizes, so don’t miss out!
Let’s enjoy the playoffs!
Sincerely,
Adam Silver
Commissioner of NBA 2025
