The 2018 NBA Playoff bracket is officially set and the full first-round playoff schedule is here.
After 82 games, the top eight teams in each conference now compete for the 2018 NBA Championship. The first round of the 2018 NBA Playoffs will begin on Saturday, April 14.
In the Eastern Conference, the Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics locked up the top two seeds with a week to spare. The remaining six seeds were sorted out over the final three games of the regular-season. The Washington Wizards fell all the way to the No. 8 seed, and will face the Raptors in the first round.
The Wizards-Raptors winner will play the winner of the No. 4 Cleveland Cavaliers vs. No. 5 Indiana Pacers series.
The No. 2 Boston Celtics will face the No. 7 Milwaukee Bucks, with the winner of that series facing the winner of the No. 3 Philadelphia 76ers vs. No. 6 Miami Heat series.
The first round of the 2018 NBA Western Conference Playoffs features No. 1 Houston Rockets vs. No. 8 Minnesota Timberwolves, which the T-Wolves clinched with an overtime win over the Denver Nuggets in the final game of the season. The Portland Trail Blazers earned the No. 3 seed with a Wednesday win over the Utah Jazz, which sent the Jazz to the No. 5 seed. The No. 5 Jazz will take on the No. 4 Oklahoma City Thunder. The Golden State Warriors enter the 2018 NBA Playoffs as the No. 2 seed and will face No. 7 San Antonio Spurs.
