The idea of Play-In was formed in June 2020 and the league introduced the format in the 2020-21 season. NBA Board of Governors made this format permanent in July 2022. <\/p><p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nba-play-in-odds-schedule\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>2025 NBA Play-In Tournament: Schedule, Betting Odds &amp; How It Works<\/a><\/p><p>The format is pretty similar to the first two rounds of the Page&ndash;McIntyre system for a four-team playoff. The team that finishes 9th in the regular season hosts the No. 10 with the loser being eliminated. The No. 7 hosts the 8th-place team in the double-chance game and the winner qualifies to the playoffs as the 7-seed. The loser of this game will get a chance to clinch the No. 8 seed as the team will host the winner of the 9\/10 game. <\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the Play-in Tournament Best of 7? <\/h2><p>The Play-In Tournament is different from the original format of the NBA playoffs. During the playoff series, both teams feature in the best-of-7 series and whoever wins at least four games, goes through the next round. But, there is a different format for the Play-In tournament. <\/p><p>During the Play-In, only the No. 7 and No. 8 teams get double chance. They face their opponent only once and if they lose, they will face a different opponent. On the other hand, the No. 9 and No. 10 teams are involved in a single-elimination game. If they win, they will face a new opponent. In the Play-in tournament, teams face their conference rivals only. <\/p><p><em>Image Credit: Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NBA Play-In Tournament determines the final two playoff seeds in the Eastern Conference and Western Conference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":40610,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[5344,5109,5867],"class_list":["post-40603","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","tag-nba-play-in-tournament","tag-nba-playoffs","tag-play-in-tournament-format"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How Many Games are there in the NBA Play-In Tournament?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The 2025 NBA Play-In Tournament kicked off on Tuesday night.
