NBA 2023 Play-in tournament schedule: Eastern conference matchups
Get acquainted with the 2023 NBA Eastern Conference play-in tournament schedule, with the scheduled match-ups and seeded teams clashes.
Grew up in ex-Yugoslavia and developed early a love for sports. Played tennis and water polo before discovering rowing. Still competes as a club rower. Worked as a journalist at the Olympic Channel, DAZN, TVE, and Diario AS English team. Great interest in US professional sports and enjoy writing about the impact of sports on society.
Update:
Although in the West, three teams don’t know yet which place on the standings they will finish, so Los Angeles Lakers, the Golden State Warriors, and the LA Clippers will have to wait until the end of the regular-season game to find out their seeding, the Eastern Conference already knows their play-in tournament match-ups.
