2023 NBA Play-In Tournament night one live stream: How to watch

Before the 2023 NBA Playoffs begin, two seeds are still up for grabs in each conference. The 2023 Play-In Tournament will determine the No. 7 and No. 8 seeds in the Eastern and Western Conference. The seventh and eighth-place teams in each conference will play for the right to be the No. 7 seed.

The ninth and tenth-place teams from each conference will then face off, and the winner of those games will advance to play the loser of the seventh vs. eighth matchup, with the No. 8 seed on the line. The first night, April 11, will include a doubleheader featuring both No. 7 versus No. 8 matchups. Below are the streaming details for how to catch the first night of the 2023 NBA Play-In Tournament.
