Updated 2025 NBA Playoff Picture, Bracket, Standings as Eastern Conference Field Set

As the NBA's regular season draws to a close, the 2025 playoff bracket has become clearer.

Following Friday's action, the full Eastern Conference postseason picture was set.

The entire Western Conference postseason standings are still unclear, but the Oklahoma City Thunder have locked up the No. 1 seed.

Just one game separates the Denver Nuggets at No. 4 from the Minnesota Timberwolves at No. 8, though.

The Milwaukee Bucks' 125-119 win over the Detroit Pistons on Friday solidified the East standings. The Bucks clinched the No. 5 seed with the victory, while the Pistons will enter the playoffs as the No. 6 seed.

Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded his 11th triple-double of the season to help Milwaukee pull out the victory, finishing with 32 points and 15 assists to go along with 11 rebounds.

Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers suffered a 129-115 loss at the hands of the Orlando Magic. The defeat dropped the Pacers to 49-32, putting them just behind the New York Knicks at No. 4 in the East.

While the No. 1 seed Cleveland Cavaliers and No. 2 Boston Celtics will await the winners of the play-in tournament, multiple playoff matchups are already set.

The Knicks are going to be facing off against the Pistons in the first round, while the Bucks will clash with the Pacers.

The Thunder and Houston Rockets were the only two teams in the West to clinch their playoff spots entering Friday, while several others were still up for grabs.

The regular season will wrap up for all 30 teams on Sunday, with postseason action beginning with the play-in tournament on Tuesday.
