The sixth through 10th-place teams in each conference advance to the play-in portion of the NBA’s post-season.

The play-in format sees the seventh and eighth seeds play each other and the ninth and 10th seeds face off.

The winner of the 7/8 game advances to the playoffs as the seventh seed and the loser faces the winner of the 9/10 game.

The winner of that game is then the eighth seed in the playoffs.
