This market will resolve to “Yes” if the listed team makes the 2025-26 NBA Playoffs. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Note: reaching the Play-In Tournament will not qualify as making the Playoffs. To make the NBA Playoffs, a team must earn one of the 16 spots in the postseason bracket. If at any point it becomes impossible for this team to make the Playoffs based on the rules of the NBA (e.g. they are mathematically eliminated from reaching the Play-In), this market will resolve immediately to "No". The resolution source for this market will be official information from the NBA.With the NBA regular season concluding April 12, top-six seeds in both conferences have secured direct playoff berths, led by Detroit Pistons (56-21) in the East and Oklahoma City Thunder (61-16) in the West, reflecting dominant records and recent clinchings like Cleveland Cavaliers' top-6 lock. San Antonio Spurs' 11-game win streak bolsters their No. 2 West position, while Atlanta Hawks' surge to fifth in East highlights momentum shifts. Los Angeles Lakers hold third West despite Luka Doncic's Grade 2 hamstring strain sidelining him through season's end, per injury reports. Play-in tournament races intensify for seeds 7-10: East's tied Raptors/76ers (43-34), Hornets (42-36), Magic (41-36), Heat (40-37); West's Suns (42-35), Trail Blazers (40-38), Clippers (39-38), Warriors (36-41), with Bucks, Pacers eliminated.
