NBA in-season tournament standings: Which teams are already out?
The first In-Season tournament tipped off on 3 November and will culminate with the Championship on 9 December in Las Vegas.
With three games now played by all teams (apart from Group C) in the inaugural NBA In-Season tournament, each of the six groups are starting to take shape as teams vie for a place in the next stage with eight teams set to advance to the knockout rounds. Each team to top their group progresses along with two “wild cards” (the team from each conference with the best record in Group Play games that finished second in its group).
