Nick, with Towns' 30 points and Hart's near triple-double performance, easily defeated the Hawks 121-105 and successfully advanced to the playoffs. The Eastern Conference playoff lineup is confirmed to be the Cavaliers, Celtics, Knicks, Pacers, Bucks, and Pistons, with the Pistons making their first playoff appearance since the 2018-19 season. The Bucks have entered the playoffs for the ninth consecutive year, while the Hawks have become regulars in the play-in tournament. In contrast, the competition in the Western Conference remains intense, with only the Thunder and Rockets currently securing playoff spots, and the Thunder also obtaining the top seed in the Western Conference. The teams ranked 3rd to 8th in the West have very close win-loss records, and the play-in tournament lineup has not yet been determined.

With Nick relying on Towns' 30 points and 11 rebounds in the game, Hart also contributed a near triple-double with 16 points, 11 assists, and 9 rebounds, ultimately defeating the Hawks comfortably 121 to 105. The list of the six teams in the Eastern Conference playoffs has been announced early: the Cavaliers, Celtics, Knicks, Pacers, Bucks, and Pistons. The four teams participating in the play-in tournament in the Eastern Conference are the Magic, Hawks, Bulls, and Heat. Notably, the Pistons, who had the worst league record last season with only 14 wins and 68 losses, have unexpectedly made it to the playoffs this season, marking their first playoff appearance since the 2018-19 season. The Bucks have also successfully advanced to the playoffs for the ninth consecutive year, while the Hawks have become "regulars" in the play-in tournament, as they have participated in the play-in for four consecutive seasons since the system was implemented in the 2020-21 season, successfully making it to the playoffs twice, in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons.

However, apart from the Cavaliers and Celtics being confirmed as the top two seeds in the Eastern Conference, the rankings from 3rd to 6th seeds have yet to be determined. The Knicks have almost locked in the 3rd seed in the Eastern Conference, while the 5th seed Bucks narrowly won in overtime yesterday and are only half a game ahead of the 6th seed Pistons. The battle for play-in positions in the Eastern Conference is still ongoing. In contrast, the playoff and play-in situation in the Western Conference is much tighter; as of yesterday, only the Thunder and Rockets have secured playoff spots, with the Thunder confirmed as the top seed in the Western Conference. However, the competition for seeds 3 to 8 in the West is extremely fierce, as all six teams currently have at least 46 wins. With the Timberwolves, Grizzlies, and Clippers all winning yesterday, the 3rd-place Lakers are only 1.5 games ahead of the 8th-place Clippers, meaning that every day's results will affect the rankings for these six teams; the play-in list and rankings in the Western Conference have yet to be determined, as the 11th-place Suns are only two wins behind the 10th-place Kings.
