NBA playoff field set

NBA playoff field set

The NBA postseason field is officially set following a series of high-stakes finales that determined the final seeding for several teams.

The Los Angeles Lakers will open their playoff campaign against the Houston Rockets, while the Toronto Raptors have clinched a postseason berth for the first time in four years.

In the East, the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic will compete in the play-in tournament to secure their spot in the first round.

The final day was marred by an injury to Mavericks star rookie Cooper Flagg, whose status for the postseason remains uncertain after he sustained a sprained ankle.
