2025/26 National Basketball Association (NBA) season
Regular Season
Eastern Conference
U.S.A
10-11 April
Several high-stakes games in the NBA Eastern Conference will have major implications for playoff seeding and the Play-In Tournament.
Cleveland Cavaliers v Atlanta Hawks | 01:00 Sunday, 11 April
Important battle for middle-East seeding.
The Cavaliers (clinched top-4) look to lock in their projected 4-seed and home-court advantage in Round 1, while the Hawks are fighting to hold or improve their 5-seed position and avoid dropping into the Play-In.
Head-to-head this season: Cleveland has the edge, winning two of the three previous meetings.
Detroit Pistons v Charlotte Hornets | 01:00 Sunday, 11 April
The Pistons (already clinched the No. 1 seed in the East) visit the Hornets, who are battling for a better Play-In spot (currently in the 7-10 mix). Detroit can use this as a tune-up while managing rest for key players.
Head-to-head this season: Detroit has dominated the season series, winning all three matchups so far.
Miami Heat v Washington Wizards | 01:00 Sunday, 11 April
The Heat are pushing hard for a stronger Play-In position (around the 9-10 range), while the Wizards sit near the bottom of the standings. A win gives Miami crucial momentum and a tiebreaker helps heading into the Play-In Tournament.
Head-to-head this season: Miami has won both previous meetings this season comfortably.
Boston Celtics v New Orleans Pelicans | 01:30 Sunday, 11 April
The Celtics (clinched No. 2 seed) host the Pelicans in a tune-up game.
Boston can focus on rhythm and rest, while lower Eastern teams like the Raptors or 76ers may have critical games on April 11 to fight for the 6-seed and direct playoff entry.
Head-to-head this season: Boston has the advantage, winning the majority of their matchups this year.
