Our first-ever NBA In-Season Tournament Elite Eight is about to tip off.
With the completion of Tuesday’s final games in the group stage, eight teams remained and advanced to the “knockout” round. The winners of those four games will then head to Las Vegas for the right to square off in the title game — the only game of the tournament that doesn’t count toward the regular-season standings.
Here is how things stack up (home team listed first), with games scheduled for Monday, Dec. 4, and Tuesday, Dec. 5:
Western Conference
- Lakers vs. Suns
- Pelicans vs. Kings
Eastern Conference
- Bucks vs. Knicks
- Pacers vs. Celtics
The 22 teams that did not qualify will have to schedule regular-season games, and the majority of those should be held Wednesday, Dec. 6, and Friday, Dec. 8.
