That time of the year is almost upon us. It’s playoff basketball season.

Twenty teams made the postseason, but that number will be cut to 16 by Friday night after the play-in tournament.

April 16 will mark the first round of the NBA playoffs, where eight teams will play on the first day. The rest will be seen on April 17. 

Fans can catch the action on NBATV, ESPN, ESPN2, or ABC via fuboTV.
