2024 PBA Elite League Heading to Final Round of Season

S. Samek

The PBA Elite League is having its final regular season matches this week. Round 13 takes place Today April 22, 2024, and features four matches. Round 14 will also have two matches take place today. The last two matches of the season will take place on April 27th, 2024.

Seeding for the playoffs is mostly what’s up for grabs during the final two rounds of the season. Five of the six playoff spots have already been clinched after 12 rounds of play.

However, with a three-way tie for second place and all of those teams just a game out of first place it’s anyone’s game heading into the final week of the regular season. The Las Vegas High Rollers have the number one seed for the time being. Cana they maintain it heading into playoffs?

One playoff spot is up for the taking though. The LA X seem to be the best position to take that spot. They have four wins so far and a game lead over the Dallas Strikers and a two-game lead over the Waco Wonders with two matches to go. With a round 13 matchup between the X and Wonders an X victory would pretty much eliminate the Wonders from the playoffs.

The Strikers have three wins with two matches to go for a maximum of five wins. Their best shot at the playoffs means they need to win both matches and hope the LA X lose both matches. If they win one and the X win one, they will tie with five wins forcing a tie breaker.

The Waco Wonders would need to win both matches to get to finish the season with four wins. They would need the X to then lose their next match and hope the Strikers lose at least one of their remaining matches. Though if they defeat the LA X during round 13 that could help in cause of the head-to-head tie breaker. If they lose to the X the season is over.

Which team will be the final team to make the PBA Elite League Playoffs?
