NBA Play-In Tournament – Matchups Taking Shape as Regular Season Ends
With the 2025-26 NBA regular season wrapping up on April 12, the SoFi Play-In Tournament is locked in to begin April 14, featuring high-stakes battles for the final playoff spots in both conferences. Several 7-10 seed scenarios remain fluid, especially in the West where the Lakers, Warriors, and others are still fighting. Key info: The 7-8 winner advances directly while the loser gets one more chance against the 9-10 winner — pure do-or-die basketball.
