How the play-in works
Seeds 1–6 — Playoffs
The top six in each conference go straight to the best-of-seven first round.
Seeds 7–10 — Play-In
7 hosts 8 (winner = 7th seed). 9 hosts 10 (loser is out). The 8-v-9-game loser then hosts the 9-v-10 winner for the 8th seed.
Seeds 11–15 — Out
No playoffs — into the Draft Lottery.
