The Toronto Raptors are back in the playoffs after a three-year hiatus.
Toronto was under pressure down the stretch as it became a realistic possibility that the Raptors could slip into the play-in tournament. Three wins in four games ensured the Raptors landed an automatic playoff berth.
What Seed Are the Raptors in the 2026 NBA Playoffs?
The Raptors are the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference in the 2025-26 NBA playoffs.
Toronto finished with the same number of wins as the Atlanta Hawks, but held the tiebreaker due to winning the season series.
What Are the Raptors’ Chance of Winning the Championship?
The Raptors are outsiders in the Eastern Conference. They are heavy basketball betting underdogs in their first-round series, and they would likely face the top-seeded Detroit Pistons in the second round if they advanced.
While the East is difficult to predict with no clear favourite, it’s still a huge ask for the Raptors to reach the conference final. It would take a minor miracle for Toronto to win the title.
When Was the Last Time the Raptors Made the Playoffs?
The Raptors last made the playoffs in 2021-22.
In the following three seasons, Toronto went 96-150 and traded away Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby. Toronto returned to contention in 2025-26 by winning 46 games.
