The NBA regular season has come to a close. However, before the playoffs begin, there’s still the matter of the Play-In Tournament to determine the final two seeds in each conference.
There have been three previous iterations of the NBA Play-In Tournament as it currently exists today. Last year, the Heat showed what can come of the format. Miami not only became the first play-in team to win a playoff series, but it also went all the way to the NBA Finals before falling to the Nuggets.
This year’s Play-In games will have no shortage of star talents and teams. The 76ers and reigning MVP Joel Embiid will face Jimmy Butler and the Heat as the top Eastern Conference matchup. The top clash of Western Conference teams will be Zion Williams and the Pelicans squaring off with LeBron James and the Lakers.
The Play-In games figure to deliver plenty of excitement, and as last season showed, there is plenty of upside for whichever teams wind up emerging from the mini-series.
