As the NBA playoffs approach, the Play-In Tournament will determine the final two playoff seeds in both the Eastern and Western conferences. This year's format is a hybrid of single and double-elimination styles. Teams ranked No. 7 and No. 8 will face off, with the winner earning the No. 7 seed. Meanwhile, the No. 9 and No. 10 teams will compete, with the loser being eliminated from playoff contention. The winner of the No. 9 vs. No. 10 game will then play the loser of the No. 7 vs. No. 8 game to secure the final playoff spot. The tournament consists of three games in total, with critical matchups scheduled for April 21, 22, and 24, 2023, on Amazon. This format allows lower-seeded teams a chance to upset their higher-seeded opponents, adding excitement to the playoff race.
