The NBA Play-In Tournament, established in 2021, has seen all eight No. 10 seeds fail to advance to the playoffs over the past four years. This year, the Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks aim to break this trend, as only two No. 10 seeds previously won their initial games, and both subsequently lost their next games. The final games of the 2025 Play-In Tournament are set for April 18, featuring the Heat against the Atlanta Hawks and the Mavericks facing the Memphis Grizzlies.
