NBA Playoff Spots Up for Grabs Friday Night: Four Teams Battle for Final Seeds
Four NBA teams will fight for the final two playoff spots Friday night. The last eighth seeds in both conferences are still up for grabs as the regular season ends.
The NBA regular season comes down to one final night Friday, with four teams competing for the last two available playoff spots.
Both conferences still have their eighth and final playoff seeds undecided. The teams that win will advance to face the top seeds in the first round of the playoffs.
Starting in 2026, NBC and Peacock will take over much of the NBA playoff coverage. Peacock will stream first round games, conference semifinals, and all Western Conference Finals games. NBC will also air select games on traditional television.
The playoff format gives the eighth seeds a tough path - they typically face the number one seeds in their conference during the first round. But making the playoffs means teams earn extra revenue and players get valuable postseason experience.
These games decide which teams make the playoffs and which go home. Playoff spots mean millions in extra revenue for teams and determine which stars you'll see in postseason action on TV.
Friday night's games will determine the final playoff bracket. The first round of playoffs begins this weekend.
