Wizards Beat Cavs to Clinch Play-In Berth, Postseason Set


With their win over the Cavaliers on Friday, the Wizards have secured a spot in the NBA’s play-in tournament and finalized the 20-team postseason field.

The exact seedings are still undetermined, as well as the final eight teams who will have to survive the play-in tournament to advance to the first round. The Wizards’ win eliminated the Bulls from contention in the Eastern Conference, while the Kings and Pelicans were eliminated earlier this week in the West.

In the East, the four teams competing in the play-in tournament are set, but the matchups could shift. The West is a bit more complicated, with the Trail Blazers and Lakers still battling for the No. 6 seed, while the other teams already secured a spot in the play-in tournament could alternate positions.
