The NBA play-in tournament is a pair of brackets featuring four teams, designed to determine the seventh and eighth playoff spot for each conference.

In the inaugural season of the play-in tournament, the league quickly saw results with a record 24 teams still competing in the final month of play. With the exception of the NBA finals, the schedule is flexible, depending on how long each series lasts, but the tentative postseason dates are below:May 2-3: Conference Semifinals begin June 8: NBA Finals, Game 3June 19: NBA Finals, Game 7 The NBA play-in tournament awards homecourt advantage to the highest seed in each matchup.
All four rounds use a 2-2-1-1-1 format with the higher seed hosting games 1, 2, 5 and 7 , while the lower seed hosts games 3, 4 and 6 .The bracket is starting to take form with five days left in the regular season.
