The NBA regular season is coming to an end and Little by little the list of teams we will see in the playoffs will be expanded, both in the Eastern and Western conferences, where we already have three guests, including the Denver Nuggets, the current champions, with everything and Nikola Jokic.
It must be remembered that since the pandemic the NBA has used a competition system prior to the playoffs, We are talking about Play-In, which was copied as is by Liga MX to replace the playoffs.
With this system, in each of the conferences The first six teams advance directly to the first round, while the teams placed between seventh and tenth place they play the Play-In.

How is Play-In played?
The Play-In is played with a format in which the teams that finish in seventh and eighth place are favored, as they have up to two opportunities to get into the playoffs. ANDThe winner of this match advances directly to the playoffs, while the loser faces the winner of the match between ninth and tenth place.
The way things are going, in this instance we will see teams like Chicago Bulls, Atlanta Hawks, Sacramento Kings y Golden State Warriors.
- First game: Seventh vs Eighth (The winner advances to the playoffs and the loser advances to the third game)
- Second game: Ninth vs Tenth (The winner advances to the third game and the loser is eliminated)
- Third game: Loser of Game 1 vs winner of Game 2 (Winner advances to playoffs)
