Major offseason roster shifts are reshaping NBA play-in contention for the 2026-27 season. In the East, the Miami Heat’s acquisition of Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Philadelphia 76ers’ additions of LeBron James and Jaylen Brown, and the Toronto Raptors’ trade for Kawhi Leonard have elevated multiple clubs into stronger positions for the 7-10 seeds. Atlanta, Orlando, Indiana, and Boston also project near the bubble based on returning cores and recent form. In the West, the Los Angeles Lakers face adjustment without LeBron while integrating Luka Doncic, leaving room for Portland, Phoenix, Golden State, and Utah to battle for play-in spots amid deeper conference parity. Training camp health, preseason results, and early-season momentum will clarify which squads secure those final playoff-adjacent positions.
