Go snag your favorite team's playoff tickets before they're all sold out!
The NBA playoffs are back but a bit different this year.
Instead of the top eight teams in each conference making the postseason, the top six teams have clinched first-round playoff berths while teams 6-10 compete in a play-in tournament.
The No. 7 seed in each conference will be decided in the 7-8 matchup, while the winner of the 9-10 matchup will play the loser of the 7-8 matchup for the final playoff spot.
Once that is settled, the first round begins as the field is set and the road to the Larry O'Brien Trophy begins.
Here is the complete play-in and first-round playoff schedule.
