How the NBA PLAY-IN GAMES work:
- The 7th- and 8th-place teams in each conference play. The winning team becomes the 7th seed. The losing team has another chance to earn the 8th seed.
- The 9th- and 10th-place teams in each conference play. The losing team is eliminated from playoff contention. The winning team plays the loser of the 7-8 game, and the winner of those games (Thursday, May 20 at 8 p.m. ET and Friday, May 21 at TBC) become the No. 8 seed in each conference.
