Full NBA Play-In Tournament schedule, time, dates, channels & more

All 30 NBA teams were in action Sunday afternoon with a multitude of playoff implications on the line. Now that the dust has settled and the regular season is over, we know where the Los Angeles Lakers' fate lies, along with the other 19 teams taking part in the postseason.

Of course, not all 20 teams will actually make it to the playoffs. Two more teams from each conference will be eliminated this week in the Play-In tournament. As a reminder, the seven and eight seeds from the West and the East will be pitted against one another in a single-elimination format, along with the nine and ten seeds.

The winner of the seven-eight matchup will earn the seven seed for the playoffs, and the loser of the nine-ten matchup is eliminated. The only remaining contest at that point will be between the loser of the seven-eight matchup and the winner of the nine-ten matchup, the winner of which earns the eight seed for the playoffs.

With that in mind, these are the matchups we will see in the Play-In tournament this week.
