NBA playoff picture 2023: East play-in tournament projections on April 3, key games remaining

The Eastern Conference postseason field is largely set, but there's plenty of drama in the play-in portion of the playoff picture. Teams 7-10 are not separated by much, and there's a benefit to having the No. 7 and No. 8 seeds as opposed to the No. 9 and No. 10 spots. Outside of the additional margin for error the better seeds have, they will also have home games during this play-in tournament.

Below we take a look at the Eastern Conference play-in picture.
