The Toronto Raptors are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2021-22.

Who Are the Raptors’ First-Round Opponent?
The Raptors are facing the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the 2026 NBA postseason.
Toronto begins its series against the Cavaliers on April 18.

Have the Raptors Ever Made the Playoffs?

Their appearance in 2026 marks the 14th time in franchise history they have reached the postseason.
Thus far, Toronto has a 6-7 record across its 13 first-round series.
Did the Raptors Have the Tiebreaker Over the Atlanta Hawks?
Yes, the Raptors had the tiebreaker over the Atlanta Hawks because they won the season series.
Both teams finished on 46 regular-season wins. The tiebreaker ensured the Raps earned the fifth seed, and Atlanta finished sixth.
