The NBA's 75th anniversary regular season has come to an end. The 2022 NBA Playoffs presented by Google Pixel will officially commence this upcoming Saturday, April 16. However, there is still some unfinished business to sort out before the main postseason tournament can get underway.

The time has come for the MetaQuest 2022 NBA Play-in Tournament. Beginning on Tuesday, April 12, and lasting through Friday, April 15, the #7 through #10 seeds in the Eastern & Western Conference will each have a opportunity or two to earn a postseason spot in the 2022 NBA Playoffs presented by Google Pixel. To summarize, 6 games will be played on three separate nights to determine the final 16-team postseason field for the NBA Playoffs.

The Play-in Tournament will kick off this Tuesday night (April 12) with a doubleheader, exclusively on TNT. In Game #1, Evan Mobley and the No. 8 seed Cleveland Cavaliers visit Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. to square off with the lethal tandem of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving and the No. 7 seed Brooklyn Nets at 7:00 PM (ET). The winner of the Cavaliers/Nets game will earn the #7 seed and will play the #2 seed Boston Celtics in the first round. The loser of the Cavaliers/Nets game will play the 9/10 winner on Friday night.

In Game #2 on Tuesday night, Reggie Jackson and the No. 8 seed LA Clippers visit Karl-Anthony Towns and the No. 7 seed Minnesota Timberwolves at 9:30 PM (ET) on TNT. The team that comes out of Tuesday's game victorious will grab the #7 seed and will play the #2 seed Memphis Grizzlies in the first round. The loser of the Clippers/Timberwolves game will play the 9/10 winner on Friday night.

The Play-in Tournament continues on Wednesday (April 13) with another doubleheader, exclusively on ESPN. In Game #3 of the play-in tournament (Game 1 of the night), LaMelo Ball and the No. 10 seed Charlotte Hornets take on Trae Young and the No. 9 seed Atlanta Hawks at 7:00 PM (ET) on ESPN. The winner of Hawks-Hornets advances to play the Cleveland-Brooklyn loser on Friday night. The loser of Hornets-Hawks is eliminated.

In Game #4 of the play-in tournament (Game 2 of the night), Josh Richardson and the No. 10 seed San Antonio Spurs battle CJ McCollum and the No. 9 seed New Orleans Pelicans at 9:30 PM (ET) on ESPN. The winner of Spurs-Pelicans plays the Clippers-Timberwolves loser on Friday night. The loser of Spurs-Pelicans is eliminated.

Then, on Friday night (April 15), the final two Play-in games will take place. Call Friday night "the No. 8 seed" night. ESPN will televise the East 8th Place Game in the early window (7:30 PM ET) -- Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks vs. Jarrett Allen and the Cleveland Cavaliers; while TNT will televise the West 8th Place Game in the late window (10:00 PM ET) -- Brandon Ingram and the New Orleans Pelicans vs. Terance Mann and the LA Clippers.
