The NBA play-in is set to start Tuesday. The play-in has been great to this point, but I don't think we have ever seen this many good teams playing in it since it was introduced. There are a few teams that could make a run if they reach the main playoff field.
The No. 7 and No. 8 seeds are set to play on Tuesday, while the No. 9 and No. 10 seeds will play on Wednesday. On Tuesday, we will see the Los Angeles Lakers face the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Miami Heat take on the Atlanta Hawks. On Wednesday. we will see the Chicago Bulls meet the Toronto Raptors and the Oklahoma City Thunder play the New Orleans Pelicans.
Here, we'll take a look at some key injuries that will impact the play-in tournament.
