The NBA Play-In Tournament 2025 is heating up as the Orlando Magic face the Atlanta Hawks and the Golden State Warriors face the Memphis Grizzlies, with both games deciding the last playoff spots. Tensions are running high as teams gear up for do-or-die situations to keep their postseason hopes alive.
The Magic and Hawks fight it out in the East, both looking for an opportunity to secure the highly prized eighth seed. Out in the West, Stephen Curry and the Warriors face off against a tough Grizzlies team no stranger to do-or-die situations.
In this configuration, top-seeded play-in teams get two opportunities to earn a playoff berth, while the lower-seeded teams need to win two in a row to move on. That leaves one loss potentially disastrous for the lower-ranked contenders.
With high stakes, passionate fan bases, and talent-laden rosters, tonight’s play-in battles guarantee high-octane basketball action and significant playoff stakes. Tune in—legacies may hang in the balance.
