The schedule for the 2024 NBA Play-In Tournament has been finalized after a 15-game finish to the regular season.
The tournament will take place from April 16-19, with the playoffs starting right after on April 20.
Just as a reminder, the seventh seed will play the eighth seed in each conference, while the ninth seed will face the tenth seed. The winner of the 7-8 game will secure the seventh seed, and the loser will then compete against the winner of the 9-10 game for the eighth seed.
There will be a slight change to the schedule this year as the Western Conference games will be held on Tuesday before the 76ers vs. Heat and Bulls vs. Hawks matchups on Wednesday.
Typically, Tuesday would feature the seventh vs. eighth seed games in both conferences, but due to scheduling conflicts with the National Hockey League, the 76ers cannot host a game on Tuesday.
Games will be broadcasted on TNT, ESPN and NBA League Pass.
