Hvem spiller the raptors mod i første runde?
2018 NBA Playoffs
Den 7. marts 2018 blev Toronto Raptors det første hold til at sikre sig en slutspilsplads. Den 30. marts 2018 sikrede Houston Rockets sig den vestlige konference og afsluttede dermed en treårig periode med Golden State Warriors som den bedst placerede. Rockets sikrede sig den bedste rekord i NBA dagen efter den 31. marts 2018. For første gang siden NBA-sæsonen 1996-97 spillede to hold deres sidste kamp mod hinanden om den 8. og sidste plads i slutspillet. Minnesota Timberwolves besejrede Denver Nuggets med 112-106 i overtid for at sikre sig den sidste slutspilsplads i vest. Dette afsluttede også Minnesotas 13-årige tørke uden deltagelse i slutspillet efter at have spillet sidst i 2003-04-sæsonen. For første gang siden NBA-sæsonen 2010-11 ville Los Angeles Clippers gå glip af postseason efter et nederlag til Denver Nuggets den 7. april 2018. Det er første gang siden 1960, at ingen af holdene fra Los Angeles, New York og Chicago nåede slutspillet.

The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Denver Nuggets 112–106 in overtime to clinch the final playoff seed in the West. This also ended Minnesota's 13-year drought without a playoff appearance having last played in 2003–04 season. For the first time since the 2010–11 NBA season, the Los Angeles Clippers would miss the postseason following a loss to the Denver Nuggets on April 7, 2018.
