东部联盟附加赛争夺
常规赛排名第7-10位的球队将晋级附加赛。第7名和第8名之间的胜者将晋级，在季后赛中对阵第2名。第9名和第10名之间的胜者将与7-8名之间的败者对决，争夺对阵第1名的机会。
东部球队锁定了什么？
以下球队将晋级季后赛。以下是他们锁定的内容：
克利夫兰骑士
已锁定： 至少一个季后赛席位；赢得中央赛区冠军
骑士队是第一支锁定季后赛席位的球队，并且有望自2015-16赛季夺冠以来首次锁定东部联盟头号种子。
骑士队本赛季的出色表现亮点包括两次至少15场比赛的连胜纪录，并且球队队史第三次突破60胜大关。
骑士队上赛季以第4号种子进入季后赛，首轮经过七场比赛淘汰了魔术队。然后在东部半决赛中以五场比赛被凯尔特人队淘汰。
波士顿凯尔特人
已锁定： 至少一个季后赛席位；赢得大西洋赛区冠军
卫冕NBA总决赛冠军正在寻求创纪录的第19个冠军，尽管他们本赛季很可能以东部联盟第2号种子结束。
凯尔特人队上赛季以东部头号种子身份结束常规赛，最终在NBA总决赛中击败了小牛队。波士顿队现在已经连续11个赛季进入季后赛（联盟最长活跃纪录），并且在过去五个赛季中至少四次进入东部决赛。
纽约尼克斯
已锁定： 至少一个季后赛席位
尼克斯队现在将自2010-13年以来首次连续三次进入季后赛，但自2000年以来尚未进入东部决赛。球队在过去两个赛季都进入了东部半决赛，去年的出局是在与步行者队的七场比赛后。
印第安纳步行者
已锁定： 至少一个季后赛席位
在上赛季进入东部决赛后，步行者队重返季后赛。步行者队现在的目标是进入前四名，他们上次做到这一点是在2020年。
密尔沃基雄鹿
已锁定： 至少一个附加赛席位
在保证获得季后赛席位后，雄鹿队将避免再次提前退出季后赛——连续两次首轮失利。但球队仍然是季后赛稳定性的典范，连续九次进入季后赛（包括2022年总冠军）。
底特律活塞
已锁定： 至少一个附加赛席位
在上赛季以14胜68负的战绩，创下球队历史上最差纪录后，活塞队现在将进入季后赛。他们上次进入附加赛是在2019年，但在首轮比赛中被雄鹿队横扫。
奥兰多魔术
已锁定： 至少一个附加赛席位
魔术队上赛季进入季后赛，但这次面临着一场艰苦的战斗，因为他们的道路很可能要通过附加赛。
上赛季的季后赛亮相（自2020年以来的首次）见证了奥兰多在首轮七场比赛中对阵骑士队的失利。
亚特兰大老鹰
已锁定： 至少一个附加赛席位
老鹰队重返附加赛，这已是连续第四个赛季。他们去年未能晋级，但前两次都进入了季后赛，两次都在第一轮失利。
迈阿密热火
已锁定： 至少一个附加赛席位
如果热火队要连续第五次进入季后赛，那么很可能要通过附加赛。他们在过去的两个季后赛中都这样做了，包括在2023年以第8号种子的身份进入NBA总决赛。
芝加哥公牛
已锁定： 一个附加赛席位；无法进入前六名
公牛队连续第三个赛季被锁定在附加赛中。他们在前两次比赛中都赢得了9号种子对10号种子的比赛，然后输掉了争夺第8号种子的比赛。他们上次进入季后赛是在2022年，当时他们在第一轮输给了雄鹿队。这标志着芝加哥自2017年以来最后一次进入季后赛。
西部联盟季后赛争夺
在西部联盟中，俄克拉荷马城雷霆队连续第二个赛季锁定了头号种子，但其余的形势仍然不稳定。西部一直是整个赛季季后赛席位的争夺，而且看起来会持续到最后一刻。目前排名前3-8位的球队之间的差距都在三场比赛以内。
西部被淘汰的球队：新奥尔良鹈鹕队、犹他爵士队
西部联盟附加赛争夺
常规赛排名第7-10位的球队将晋级附加赛。第7名和第8名之间的胜者将晋级，在季后赛中对阵第2名。第9名和第10名之间的胜者将与7-8名之间的败者对决，争夺对阵第1名的机会。
西部球队锁定了什么？
以下球队将晋级季后赛。以下是他们锁定的内容：
俄克拉荷马城雷霆
已锁定： 西部头号种子；赢得西北赛区冠军
俄克拉荷马城雷霆队第六次锁定了西部头号种子（可以追溯到西雅图超音速队时代），并且是连续几个赛季的首次。更令人印象深刻的是，雷霆队本赛季对阵东部球队的战绩为28胜1负——这是NBA历史上最佳的跨联盟战绩。
上赛季，他们在西部半决赛中被小牛队淘汰，小牛队最终进入了NBA总决赛。
休斯顿火箭
已锁定： 至少一个季后赛席位；赢得西南赛区冠军
在二年级教练伊梅·乌度卡(Ime Udoka)的带领下，休斯顿队自2020年以来首次锁定了季后赛席位。对于火箭队来说，这是一个扭转乾坤的赛季，他们是西部为数不多的一批球队之一，正在为雷霆队之后的第二名而战。
丹佛掘金
已锁定： 至少一个附加赛席位
在三届MVP尼古拉·约基奇(Nikola Jokic)的带领下，掘金队延续了他们的季后赛纪录。他们在过去的六个赛季中都进入了季后赛，包括2023年的总冠军。
上赛季，丹佛队进入了西部半决赛，在那里他们在七场惊险的比赛中被森林狼队淘汰。
洛杉矶湖人
已锁定： 至少一个附加赛席位
勒布朗·詹姆斯(LeBron James)和卢卡·东契奇(Luka Doncic)正试图在竞争激烈的西部中为湖人队争取尽可能高的种子。在一年级教练JJ·雷迪克(JJ Redick)的带领下，球队正处于连续第三次进入季后赛的边缘。
东契奇上赛季带领小牛队进入了NBA总决赛，并将在新球队中再次这样做。上赛季，湖人队通过附加赛进入了季后赛第一轮，在那里他们连续第二个季后赛输给了掘金队。
孟菲斯灰熊
已锁定： 至少一个附加赛席位
在上赛季缺席季后赛后，灰熊队这次反弹了。然而，这段时间一直很动荡，因为球队在常规赛还剩两周的情况下解雇了泰勒·詹金斯(Taylor Jenkins)教练。
金州勇士
已锁定： 至少一个附加赛席位
勇士队重返季后赛，并仍然在争夺第6名。上赛季，该队在附加赛中输给国王队后未能晋级季后赛。金州队希望赛季中期引进的吉米·巴特勒三世(Jimmy Butler III)能够让斯蒂芬·库里(Stephen Curry)及其队友们在本赛季取得更大的成就。
明尼苏达森林狼
已锁定： 至少一个附加赛席位
森林狼队正在争夺季后赛席位，但可能不得不通过附加赛来解决。如果他们这样做，这将标志着明尼苏达连续第四个赛季参加季后赛。去年，森林狼队队史第二次进入东部决赛（输给了小牛队）。
洛杉矶快船
已锁定： 至少一个附加赛席位
快船队是另一支确保至少参加附加赛的球队，但仍然有机会获得第6名。上赛季，快船队在季后赛首轮被小牛队淘汰。他们在过去的五个赛季中五次进入季后赛。

With the 2024-25 NBA regular season wrapping on April 13, the playoff picture will soon start to get clearer as teams book their postseason spots.
The top six teams from each conference will be assured playoff spots, while team Nos. 7-10 in the standings will enter the play-in tournament (April 15-18). Two teams in each conference will then emerge to fill out the eight-team field, with the first round of the playoffs starting April 19.
Check back as more teams clinch playoff and play-in spots.

West: Playoff race | Play-in race | Whose in?
EASTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFF RACE
In the Eastern Conference, the Cleveland Cavaliers have a sizable lead over the defending champion Boston Celtics for the top seed. The New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers have also clinched playoff berths so far.
Eliminated teams in the East: Brooklyn Nets, Charlotte Hornets, Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors, Washington Wizards
EASTERN CONFERENCE PLAY-IN RACE
The teams that finish Nos. 7-10 in the standings advance to the play-in tournament. The winner of the game between the No. 7 and No. 8 seed will advance to face the No. 2 seed in the playoffs. The winner between the No. 9 and No. 10 seed will then face the loser of the 7-8 for the chance to then face the No. 1 seed.
WHAT HAVE EAST TEAMS CLINCHED?
The following teams will advance to the postseason. Where’s what they’ve clinched:
Cleveland Cavaliers
What they’ve clinched: At least a playoff spot; won Central Division
The Cavs were the first team to clinch a playoff spot and are on target to secure the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference for the first time since their title-winning season in 2015-16.
Cleveland’s remarkable season has been highlighted by two separate winning streaks of at least 15 games, and the team has has eclipsed the 60-win mark for the third time in franchise history.
The Cavs reached the playoffs last season as the No. 4 seed, needing seven games to eliminate the Magic in the first round. They were then ousted by the Celtics in the conference semifinals in five games.
Boston Celtics
What they’ve clinched: At least a playoff spot; won Atlantic Division
The defending NBA Finals champions are looking for their record-extending 19th title, although they likely will finish as the No. 2 seed in the East this season.
The Celtics finished as the top seed in the East last season on their way to defeating the Mavericks in the NBA Finals. Boston has now made the playoffs for 11 consecutive seasons (the league’s longest active streak), and it reached at least the conference finals in four of the past five campaigns.
New York Knicks
What they’ve clinched: At least a playoff spot
The Knicks will now make three straight playoff appearances for the first time since 2010-13 but have not reached the conference finals since 2000. The team has advanced to the conference semifinals each of the previous two seasons, with last year’s exit coming at the hands of the Pacers in seven games.
Indiana Pacers
What they’ve clinched: At least a playoff spot
After making it to the conference finals last season, the Pacers are back in the playoffs. The Pacers are now aiming to finish among the top four teams, which they last did in 2020.
Milwaukee Bucks
What they’ve clinched: At least a play-in spot
The Bucks will look to avoid another early exit from the playoffs – two consecutive first-round losses – after guaranteeing a spot in the postseason. But the team remains a model of postseason consistency with nine straight appearances (including the 2022 championship).
Detroit Pistons
What they’ve clinched: At least a play-in spot
After finishing 14-68 last season, the worst record in franchise history, the Pistons are now heading to the postseason. They last made the play-in in 2019 but were swept in four games by the Bucks in the first round.
Orlando Magic
What they’ve clinched: At least a play-in spot
The Magic made the playoffs last season but face an uphill battle this time around as their path will likely go through the play-in tournament.
Last season’s playoff appearance (their first since 2020) saw Orlando exit in the first round in seven games against the Cavaliers.
Atlanta Hawks
What they’ve clinched: At least a play-in spot
The Hawks are back in the play-in tournament for the fourth straight season. They failed to advance last year but did reach the playoffs the previous times, losing in the first round on both occasions.
Miami Heat
What they’ve clinched: At least a play-in spot
If the Heat are going to make it to the playoffs for the fifth straight time, it will likely be through the play-in tournament. They’ve done so the past two postseasons, including reaching the NBA Finals in 2023 as a No. 8 seed.
Chicago Bulls
What they’ve clinched: A play-in spot; cannot finish among top six
The Bulls are locked into the play-in tournament for the third consecutive season. They won the 9-seed vs. 10-seed matchup and then lost the game for the No. 8 seed in each of the previous two. Their last playoff appearance came in 2022, when they lost to the Bucks in the first round. That marked the last time Chicago had reached the playoffs since 2017.
WESTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFF RACE
In the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder have clinched the top spot for the second straight season but the rest of the field remains fluid. The West has been a season-long battle for playoff positioning and looks to be going down to the wire. The teams currently in the 3-8 spots are all separated by three games or less.
Eliminated teams in the West: New Orleans Pelicans, Utah Jazz
WESTERN CONFERENCE PLAY-IN RACE
The teams that finish Nos. 7-10 in the standings advance to the play-in tournament. The winner of the game between the No. 7 and No. 8 seed will advance to face the No. 2 seed in the playoffs. The winner between the No. 9 and No. 10 seed will then face the loser of the 7-8 for the chance to then face the No. 1 seed.
WHAT HAVE WEST TEAMS CLINCHED?
The following teams will advance to the postseason. Here’s that they’ve clinched:
Oklahoma City Thunder
What they’ve clinched: No. 1 West seed; won Northwest Division
OKC has clinched the No. 1 West seed for the sixth time in franchise history (dating back to the Seattle SuperSonics era) and the first instance in consecutive seasons. Even more impressive is the Thunder’s 28-1 record against East teams this season – the best cross-conference record in NBA history.
Last season, they were eliminated in the West’s conference semifinals by the Mavericks, who eventually reached the NBA Finals.
Houston Rockets
What they’ve clinched: At least a playoff spot; won Southwest Division
Under second-year coach Ime Udoka, Houston has clinched a playoff spot for the first time since 2020. It’s been a turnaround season for the Rockets, who are among several teams bunched toward the top of the West fighting for the No. 2 spot behind the Thunder.
Denver Nuggets
What they’ve clinched: At least a play-in spot
Led by three-time MVP Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets continue their postseason streak. They have made the playoffs in the past six seasons, including the 2023 title.
Last season, Denver reached the conference semifinals, where they were eliminated by the Timberwolves in a seven-game thriller.
Los Angeles Lakers
What they’ve clinched: At least a play-in spot
LeBron James and Luka Doncic are trying to secure the highest seed possible for the Lakers in a tough West. Under first-year coach JJ Redick, the team is on the verge of its third straight playoff appearance.
Doncic led the Mavericks to the NBA Finals last season, and will aim to do so again with his new team. Last season, the Lakers reached the first round of the playoffs through the play-in tournament, where they lost to the Nuggets for a second straight postseason.
Memphis Grizzlies
What they’ve clinched: At least a play-in spot
After missing the playoffs last season, the Grizzlies have bounced back this time around. However, it’s been a tumultuous time, as the team fired Taylor Jenkins as coach with just two weeks left in the regular season.
Golden State Warriors
What they’ve clinched: At least a play-in spot
The Warriors are back in the postseason and remain in contention to clinch the No. 6 spot. Last season, the team failed to advance into the playoffs after losing to the Kings in the play-in tournament. Golden State hopes that the midseason addition of Jimmy Butler III will allow Stephen Curry & Co. to make an extended run this time around.
Minnesota Timberwolves
What they’ve clinched: At least a play-in spot
The Timberwolves are in the mix for a playoff spot but might have to settle for getting through via the play-in tournament. If they do, it will mark the fourth straight season of playoff basketball in Minnesota. Last year, the Timberwolves reached the conference finals (losing to the Mavericks) for just the second time in franchise history.
LA Clippers
What they’ve clinched: At least a play-in spot
The Clippers are another team assured of at least the play-in tournament, but still have a chance at the No. 6 spot. Last season, the Clips were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Mavs. They have made the playoffs five out of the previous seasons.
