Before the NBA playoffs officially begin, the No. 7 through No. 10 seeds in both the Eastern and Western Conference will compete in the league's play-in tournament in hopes of advancing to a best-of-seven series. Fortunately for fans (but less fortunate for the competing teams) this year's play-in includes some of the league's biggest stars like Steph Curry, Ja Morant and Trae Young.
The play-in tournament begins Tuesday, April 15—tipping off two days after the regular season's finale. It runs through Friday, which gives the No. 1 through No. 6 seeds in each conference the opportunity for some rest and to reset before the playoffs begin Saturday.
