1 is correct; 2 is incorrect. (Don't use "in" in this situation.)
3 is correct. A play-off game is part of a series of games after the regular season is over; these games are played to determine who will be first in the whole league or district. Here are several websites about the basketball playoffs going on in the US right now:

4 and 5 are both correct; 5 is probably used more often.
