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.As the NBA regular season nears its April 12 conclusion, Oklahoma City Thunder (61-16) and Detroit Pistons (56-21) hold firm atop Western and Eastern Conference standings, respectively, with top seeds nearly clinched amid the Spurs' franchise-record 11-game win streak narrowing OKC's lead to two games. Top-six direct playoff spots are locked for teams like Lakers, Nuggets, Rockets, Timberwolves, Celtics, Knicks, Cavaliers, and Hawks, but play-in tournaments loom large: West sees surging Trail Blazers (8-2 last 10) at No. 8 ahead of Clippers and Warriors, while East pits Raptors vs. slumping Hornets (7-3 last 10), Magic (2-8), and Heat (2-8). Luka Dončić's Grade 2 hamstring strain sidelines him through season's end, jeopardizing Lakers' No. 3 seed, with final back-to-backs and rivalry games pivotal for postseason berths.
