After the first two play-in tournament games on Tuesday made the playoff picture a bit clearer, the NBA unveiled the full schedule for the postseason.

The Golden State Warriors and Orlando Magic clinched the No. 7 seeds in the West and East, respectively, pitting them against the Houston Rockets and Boston Celtics. While the No. 8 seeds have yet to be determined, the league provided a look at the schedule for this year's playoff matchups:

Golden State and Orlando will open their first-round series on Sunday, but each team had a different experience in securing the No. 7 seed.

The Magic cruised to a 120-95 win over the Atlanta Hawks at Kia Center. Cole Anthony provided a spark off the bench, leading Orlando with 26 points in the victory. Wendell Carter Jr. added 19 points, and star forward Paolo Banchero chipped in 17 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. The team's defense frustrated Hawks star guard Trae Young, who had a game-high 28 points but was ejected in the fourth quarter after picking up two technical fouls.

The Warriors gave their fans at Chase Center a bit more to worry about before earning a 121-116 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Golden State led by as many as 20 points in the first half but briefly lost the lead following an impressive comeback by Memphis.

Star forward Jimmy Butler impressed for the Warriors, pouring in a game-high 38 points to support star point guard Stephen Curry, who had 37 points and made multiple shots in the clutch to secure the victory.

The Grizzlies and Hawks will have one more chance to make it to the playoffs. Memphis will host the winner of the play-in tournament game between the Sacramento Kings and Dallas Mavericks on Friday, while Atlanta will host the winner of the matchup between the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls that same night.
