The upcoming third night of the NBA’s inaugural In-Season Tournament promises to deliver an outstanding lineup of games, according to the league’s schedule. The early window features a highly anticipated showdown between Rookie of the Year frontrunners Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren. In the late-night set, the struggling Clippers, aiming to avoid a 0-5 start, confront their nemesis, the defending champion Denver Nuggets, who have defeated them in their last six encounters.
Simultaneously, several high-profile NBA teams are on the brink of elimination within the tournament. For these teams, two losses essentially mean elimination. The Clippers, Spurs, Pelicans, Mavericks, Pistons, Trail Blazers, and Nets will all be battling to stay alive in the competition. Notably, two games between teams with 1-0 group records will be pivotal, with the Timberwolves facing the Warriors and the Pacers squaring off against the 76ers. The victors of these matchups will assume control of their respective groups going forward.
Each conference is divided into three five-team groups for those unfamiliar with the In-Season Tournament format. Group stage games take place on Tuesdays and Fridays in November, showcasing teams in this season’s city edition uniforms on specially designed courts. Once all teams within a group have played each other, the top eight will advance to the knockout stage in early December. This select group will consist of the six group winners and one wild-card team from each conference.
