The NBA playoffs are scheduled to start in four days, and 15 of the 16 have been decided in the area.
The last position will pass to the Memphis Grizzlies, Portland Trail Blazers and Phoenix Suns, who will play in a play-in tournament until the eighth and final Western Conference seed. Memphis will play Portland if the Trail Blazers defeat the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday or Phoenix if the Trail Blazers lose.
The winner of the entry tournament will face four-time NBA Most Valuable Player LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, who is the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.
Current NBA MVP (and probably consecutive MVP) Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks lead the East. They have a place forward to protect NBA champion Toronto Raptors, who ended with the seed for the time being despite wasting the protection of NBA Finals scorer and MVP Kawhi Leonard against the Los Angeles Clippers in free agency.
Speaking of Leonard’s Clips, they are in position at the moment in the West and can organize a war in Los Angeles for the right to advance to the NBA Finals.
At this point, however, there is a long way to go. A play-in tournament and some playoff rounds must be held in advance.
Here’s a look at what we know about the NBA playoff schedule so far, as well as quick advances and league team selections through bucks wins and loss records and raps champion protection.
