What is the NBA Play-In Tournament?
The NBA Play-In Tournament determines the final two seeds from each conference in the NBA playoffs, as only the top six seeds are guaranteed a spot in the playoffs. In the past, the top eight seeds were guaranteed a spot, but now teams that rank ninth or 10th in the standings can play their way into the playoffs.
NBA Play-In Tournament format
The ninth and 10th seeds will face off, with the winner of that game getting the opportunity to steal the eighth seed from the loser of the game featuring the seventh and eighth seeds.
You need to win only one game to make the playoffs if you finish the regular season as the seventh or eighth seed. A team that finishes ninth or 10th in its respective conference must win two games to qualify for the playoffs.
