The NBA playoffs start this week but first there’s NBA play-in teams that have some unfinished business.
The Golden State Warriors outlasted the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night in the 2025 NBA Play-In Tournament to secure the No. 7 seed and a date with the No. 2 Houston Rockets in the first round of the postseason.
Tonight, the No. 9-seed Sacramento Kings will host the No. 10 seed, the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks are currently facing several injuries, including Klay Thompson, who is day-to-day with a foot injury, and Anthony Davis, who is dealing with an adductor injury.
In the Eastern Conference, the No. 9 seed Chicago Bulls will face the No. 10 seed Miami Heat, with the chance to extend their season on the line.
Here is how to watch the NBA Play-In Tournament games on Wednesday.
In the Eastern Conference, the Miami Heat play the Chicago Bulls tonight for a chance to advance to the NBA play-in tournament.
In the Western Conference, a depleted Dallas Mavericks team will play the Sacramento Kings.
The winner of tonight’s games will advance to face the winners of the No. 7 vs. No. 8 seed matchups in their respective conferences in a win-or-go-home game. The winner of that game will proceed as the No. 8 seed in their conference.
