What is the NBA playoff schedule?
The NBA playoffs are a best-of-seven elimination tournament among the 16 teams that qualified for the playoffs by having the best record in their respective conference during the regular season. The tournament ends with the Eastern and Western Conference champions battling each other in the NBA Finals.
The first round of the playoffs, or Conference Semifinals, is scheduled to begin on Saturday, April 13th. The Conference Finals are scheduled to begin on Saturday, May 18th, with the NBA Finals set to start on Thursday, May 30th.
How do the NBA playoffs work?
The National Basketball Association (NBA) playoffs are a best-of-seven elimination tournament held after the conclusion of the NBA regular season. The winners of each series advance to the next round, with the eventual goal of winning the NBA Finals and becoming the NBA champions.
The first round of the playoffs, known as the “play-in tournament”, is a new addition for the 2021 season. In this round, the seventh and eighth seeded teams in each conference will face off, with the winner earning the seventh seed and a spot in the first round proper. The loser will become the eighth seed, and will also have to play in the first round proper but will start at a disadvantage, having to win two series instead of one.
The first round proper will see all four division winners face off against each other in one best-of-seven series, while seeds five through eight in each conference play each other in another best-of-seven series. The winners of those two series advance to the conference semifinals, where they will play either seed one or seed two from their own conference. Again, this is a best-of-seven series.
The conference finals are then played between the winners of each conference semifinals series, with whoever comes out victorious advancing to the NBA Finals. The same best-of-seven format is used for the NBA Finals itself.
