The 2023 NBA playoffs are almost here.
The Golden State Warriors are the defending champions entering the playoffs, in which 16 teams will face off in four rounds of action to determine the 2023 champion.
The top six teams in each conference automatically qualified for the playoffs, while the teams that finished the regular season in seventh through 10th places advanced to the NBA's play-in tournament to determine the final two playoff teams in each conference. The play-in tournament will take place Tuesday through Friday, with the first round of the playoffs tipping off Saturday.
