The Cavs say there are a very limited number of tickets available for their home playoff games.

We figured you might be as curious as we are about a more exact number, so we checked: There will be fewer than 1,000 single-game seats available for each postseason game at Quicken Loans Arena. That’s not surprising for a team with 14,500 season-ticket holders (though, as we wrote last August, that number is a little misleading because the Cavs made extra room for partial ticket plans in 2015-16). The number of playoff tickets is further limited by fans who enroll as Wine & Gold United members at this time of year so they can get priority on postseason seats. Regardless, if you want to roll the dice and try to acquire playoff seats when the first two games go on sale Tuesday, April 12, here are a few things you need to know: • The Cavs require that you be an “Insider,” but it has nothing to do with tweeting rumors from anonymous sources. If you sign up for the team’s e-newsletter, you will be registered for postseason ticket access on a first-come, first-served basis. • The deadline to register for the newsletter and have the chance to purchase seats for the first two playoff games at The Q is 11:59 a.m. (yes, 11:59) on Sunday. Once you register, you should get an email with instructions on buying playoff tickets. • The first two postseason home games go on sale Tuesday at 11 a.m. An hour later, any remaining tickets from the Cavs Insider sale, plus all of the tickets on the Flash Sales marketplace, will be available at Cavs.com/tickets . There is a six-ticket limit per transaction. • Ticket sale information for the rest of the playoff contests at The Q will be announced as the schedule for each round is determined. • With three games remaining for the Cavs and five for the Toronto Raptors, the Cavs’ magic number to clinch homecourt advantage throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs is two. The only way the Cavs would have the homecourt edge in the NBA Finals is if the Warriors and Spurs are eliminated before then. (Pro tip: Root for the Thunder, Cavs fans.) • Fans who enroll as Wine & Gold United members (the team’s season-ticket club) will have the chance to purchase playoff tickets two hours before the Cavs Insider sale starts on Tuesday morning. Something that wasn’t included in the Cavs’ announcement on playoff tickets: The second round is shaping up to be very interesting. The Heat are in fifth place in the East at 45-32, though the 3-6 spots are separated by all of one game. If you’re a Cavs fan looking for the easiest possible matchup, root for the Hornets (sixth at 45-33) and Hawks (third at 46-32) to finish fourth and fifth. If you’re looking for intrigue, you want the standings to remain as is — with the Celtics (the Kevin Love Revenge Series!) and Heat (“Why LeBron is soft because he hugged Dwyane Wade,” by Skip Bayless) in fourth and fifth place. The winner would play the Cavs in Round 2. Sign us up for that scenario.
