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 2025-26 NBA regular season concluding April 12, all top-10 teams per conference have clinched postseason berths via direct playoffs or the SoFi NBA Play-In Tournament (April 14-17), leaving uncertainty only in play-in advancement to secure the Nos. 7-8 seeds. Houston Rockets and Cleveland Cavaliers recently locked top-six spots after April 3 results, bolstering their paths alongside leaders like the dominant Oklahoma City Thunder (61-16 West #1), San Antonio Spurs (#2), Detroit Pistons (56-21 East #1), and Boston Celtics. Los Angeles Lakers' defense of West #3 seed is jeopardized by Luka Dončić's Grade 2 hamstring strain, ruling him out through season's end with playoff status unclear. Locked play-in fields pit East's Toronto Raptors-Charlotte Hornets and Orlando Magic-Miami Heat against West's Phoenix Suns-Portland Trail Blazers and LA Clippers-Golden State Warriors, where recent form, rest advantages, and head-to-head tiebreakers will decide final playoff qualifiers amid minimal games left.
