Sunday is the final day of the regular season.
The 2026 NBA regular season comes down to one final day on Sunday, and there's still plenty to play for. All 30 teams are in action for the last time before the postseason begins.
The biggest game of the day is Lakers vs. Nuggets, which will determine the West's 3 and 4 seeds. Denver can clinch the 3 with a win; the Lakers need a victory to hold onto it. In the East, the Raptors, Magic, and 76ers are all fighting for the final guaranteed playoff spot, with the losers heading to the Play-In Tournament.
The Hawks can lock in the 5-seed with a win. The top seeds are set: Thunder (1) and Spurs (2) in the West, Pistons (1) and Celtics (2) in the East. The SoFi NBA Play-In Tournament tips off Tuesday, April 14, with the first round of the playoffs starting Saturday, April 18. After 82 games, it all comes down to this.
