We have to wait a short week before the start of the NBA play-off and a little less to know the final posters.

For now, the first two seeds in each conference (Miami and Boston in the East, Phoenix and Memphis in the West) do not know the names of their future opponents, who will emerge from the play-in.

A quick reminder of the rules: the 7th and 8th places compete in a first match.

The winner is directly qualified for the playoffs (and will face the number 2 seed), the loser is entitled to a last chance match against the winner of the play-off between the 9th and 10th in the conference.

In the East, the duel between "best" play-offs will pit the Nets against the Cavaliers.

The loser will face the winner of the other game between the Hornets and the Hawks.

In the West, the Wolves and the Clippers will face each other and the loser will try to catch up with the winner of the Spurs-Pelicans match.
