NBA Play-In Tournament – How Exactly Does it Work? 

Even though it’s only been around a few years, it feels like the NBA Play-In tournament has been here forever. For the 2024 NBA Playoffs, it takes place between April 16th and April 19th, 2024. We’ll get to see the #7 and #8 seeds play each other in each conference. The winner straight up gets the #7 seed. The loser then plays the winner of the #9 vs #10 seed matchup. The winner of that game then becomes the #8 seed for their respective conference. I actually think the NBA Play-In is genius. Gets us all invested early in the Playoffs…before the doldrums of the 2nd round hit, and we all start wondering when the heck the Finals will get here.
