The Cleveland Cavaliers have secured the top seed in the Eastern Conference for the NBA playoffs, concluding their regular season with a record of 64-17. In their final game against the Indiana Pacers, the Cavs opted to rest most of their key players, except for Jarrett Allen, who desired to complete the full 82-game season. The matchup against the Pacers, who finished with a respectable 49-32 record, is scheduled for 1 p.m. as the Cavs prepare for the playoffs.

As the No. 1 seed, the Cavaliers will face the winner of the Play-In Tournament, comprising the Orlando Magic, Atlanta Hawks, Chicago Bulls, and Miami Heat. The playoff schedule kicks off on April 19, with Game 1 of Cleveland’s first-round series likely to be held at home on April 20. The Cavs are aiming for a strong playoff performance after last year's semifinals exit against the Boston Celtics.
