It is crunch time in the NBA. Teams are doing everything they can to win games now and secure their spot as one of the eight teams in each conference to get a chance to play for a NBA Championship. Teams such as the New York Knicks are just one of a few who have been making a push for the playoffs having won eight in a row before succumbing to the Cleveland Cavaliers in last nights game. With teams entering desperation mode the games over the next few weeks will be very intense and meaningful, which in turn has seen ticket prices increase for a bunch of games. The Top 5 NBA tickets of the week are:

Far and away the biggest and most expensive game of the week comes on Wednesday night when the Miami Heat travel to Indianapolis to play the Eastern Conference leading Indiana Pacers.
