The NBA playoffs are a best-of-seven elimination tournament annually held after the NBA’s regular season to determine the league’s champion. The value of home-court advantage in the playoffs is commonly cited for the importance of gaining the top seed and receiving home court advantage. The home team in each series hosts Games 1, 2, 5 and 7, while the visiting team hosts Games 3, 4 and 6; games 5–7 are played if necessary.

The NBA playoffs follow a typical four-round bracket. The first round of the playoffs, or conference quarterfinals, consists of four best-of-seven series featuring intra-conference matchups. At that point all remaining teams have played 82 games each. The four winners advance to the second round of the playoffs, or conference semifinals. In that round, there are again four best-of-seven series with intra-conference matchups; each conference semifinal winner advances to their respective conference finals. Conference finalists receive a week off before playing in their respective best-of seven NBA Finals, which concludes in early June following two weeks of play.
