NBA playoffs matchups: From the play-in to the rest of the postseason

This is the spot where we’d normally say, the NBA playoffs are here.

And while that’s sort of true, it’s different in 2021 — the play-ins are here.

Four teams in each of the East and West conferences will battle it out for the No. 7 and 8 seeds (if you want to know how that’s all going to work, read our handy NBA play-in tournament explainer), which will finalize the matchups we’re listing below.

So we’ll list all the first-round series, with spaces in there for the No. 7 and 8 seeds, and remember the losers of the play-in get lottery picks, at least.

Away we go, below the brackets:

HERE. WE. GO! 🔥
