The 2025-26 NBA regular season has reached an exciting conclusion, with playoff and play-in tournament positioning coming down to the final Sunday.
The Detroit Pistons closed with the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, while the Boston Celtics had an impressive regular season — most of which was played without Jayson Tatum as he recovered from an Achilles injury suffered in last year’s postseason — and finished with the second seed in the East.
Oklahoma City Thunder locked down the top seed in the West for the second straight season, two games ahead of Victor Wembanyama’s hard-charging San Antonio Spurs.
The Eastern Conference play-in tournament includes the surprise Charlotte Hornets, while the Golden State Warriors and Steph Curry find themselves as the No. 10 seed in the West.
Here are the odds for every NBA play-in game and the playoff series that we know so far.
