Celebrating the NBA Playoffs is a slam dunk when you host the “NBA Party on a Platter.” Since you’d rather be watching the game than flipping burgers, this party gives you a big assist with all the food prepared ahead of time and ready to enjoy. Chances are, your friends will want to get in on the game. Since there are at least four playoffs, invite everyone to participate in a “Dine Around.” Pair up with three other couples and take turns hosting an NBA playoff party.

Want to watch calories while you watch the game? No problem. Cherry pick from this sample menu:
