The second NBA season has arrived – the one with higher levels of energy and focus, where DNP-Rest will never see the box score.
After all 30 teams play the last day of the league on Sunday, the seeds for the NBA play-ins and then the playoffs are set. It all starts Tuesday night — with a preseason title favorite — with all 16 playoff teams in action over the weekend.

The winners of the April 12 7/8 games qualify for the playoffs as the No. 7 seed in their conference. The losers of those 7/8 matches will face the winner of the 9/10 match in a win or go home contest for the No. 8 seed.
Then the playoffs begin on the weekend. The NBA has released the dates (and some times) of these first games in the series.
