Sixteen teams in total make the NBA playoffs, eight teams from both the Eastern and Western Conferences. The top six seeds in each conference advance based on the regular season record. The final two seeds in each conference are wild-card spots based on the best remaining records in each conference.

The defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers have a 2-0 series lead over the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Final after a 5-0 road win in Game 2, and their advanced stats support their commanding advantage so far.
