The team mentioned first in each pairing will have homecourt advantage in the Quarter-Finals, as the four teams that won their respective Round of 16 groups were seeded in the Draw.

The Quarter-Finals will commence on April 4 and each series will be played in a best-of-three format, with teams that have the homecourt advantage playing the first game at home.

The second game will be played at the home arena of the unseeded team on either April 11 or April 12 and, if a series is tied at 1-1 after the first two games, then the team with homecourt advantage will play the tie-breaking third game at home on either April 18 or April 19.
