The 2024 NBA Playoffs begin on April 20th. The league’s regular season is in the final stretch to decide who will qualify for the next phase, which also includes the play-in, repechage phase that will be played between April 16th and 19th.

Therefore, in total, 16 teams will qualify to compete in the NBA playoffs. The top six from each conference advance directly. The remaining four spots will be defined in the play-in, between the teams placed between seventh and tenth place in each conference.
It’s worth remembering that the play-in involves the teams that placed between seventh and tenth place in each conference. They play single knockout games to define two places for the playoffs.
